Casino Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 See enzo sorted it  Point stands, try dead man's shoes Quote
kent_white Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 See enzo sorted it  Point stands, try dead man's shoes Haven't seen either of them but I'll give them a whirl! Quote
Zico Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 The Handmaiden  Japanese/Korean  Not as weird as some Asian films out three but has its moments  Recommended  8/10 Quote
frank_spencer Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Turing my TV on late at night as a kid and seeing Akira was one of the most disturbing things that happened to me as a nipper. Â I do like a bit of Manga though and some of the Gibli studio stuff (if that's not manga?!) Manga is the books, anime is the films/tv. Anime is basically any Japanese animation. Â Gibli films are amongst some of my all time favourites. Mini Me love My Neighbour Totoro and Ponyo. Quote
Traf Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017  Point stands, try dead man's shoes  Watched that for the first time last week. Quote
Underpants Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 See enzo sorted it  Point stands, try dead man's shoes Saw a clip of DMS the other week. It was enough to make me want to watch it. Although the main character was brilliant played I couldn't help but feel it was only that that was keeping me watching it. Although not a shit film it was a bit of a let down if I'm honest. Quote

frank_spencer Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Ah so! Â Never read comics to be fair but like the anime. Totoro and Howel's Moving Castle are ace Some of the anime TV series in recent years such as Death Note and Attack On Titan have been fantastic. Quote
madthatter Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Some of the anime TV series in recent years such as Death Note and Attack On Titan have been fantastic.  Aye Attack on Titan was good but, as ever with anime, weird as fook  Ajin Demi-Human on Netfilx was good too.  Will look out for Death Note Quote
frank_spencer Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Aye Attack on Titan was good but, as ever with anime, weird as fook  Ajin Demi-Human on Netfilx was good too. Will look out for Death Note Death Note is getting the Ghost in the Shell treatment from netflix.Love action remake with barely a Japanese bod in sight.  I did enjoy Ajin, Black Butler is another good series worth checking out.  Japanese stuff can get a bit bonkers and shouty at times but still very entertaining and they love a plot twist or 27.

Underpants Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Watched The Grudge last weekend. When you've seen one Japanese film with a long dark haired scary girl, you've seen them all. 5/10 Quote

Zico Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Death Note is getting the Ghost in the Shell treatment from netflix. Love action remake with barely a Japanese bod in sight.  saw the faux outrage on social media re: ghost in the shell, but don't see the big deal about it to be honest  hollywood could've remade it but without a big name in the lead role and a jap instead, but it wouldn't have sold (to producers, or the public, relatively speaking)  unless you know of a big name japanese actress to rival scarlett johansen  don't get me wrong, I like asian cinema, that said i've the seen the film for attack of titan, it wasn't that good Quote

Kane57 Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Enjoyed John Wick 2. Â Just finished rewatching Akira for the first time in years. Still holds up Quote
Big City Girl Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Full marks to Borstal for being the worst film I have ever seen. Quote
Matt Lofthouse Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Enjoyed John Wick 2.   Tonight's film ???????? I watched the 1st one last night which was decent. He's still a toss actor though. Quote
Zico Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Just watched The Warriors for the first time  Cult classic?  Bit shit Quote
Matt Lofthouse Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Talking of classics I've only just done taxi driver. I didn't clock Harvey Keitel playing the pimp until the credits. Great film. Edited June 10, 2017 by Matt Quote
