Sorry for taking so long to answer buddy. It is, but honestly it’s well worth sticking with it. Another belter of a film from South Korea is Last Train from Busan, subtitled as well though. It’s about a virus that starts spreading that turns people in to zombies. It’s not your normal zombies though, these move fast as ####, it’s brilliant. The Koreans do tend to overact a bit, but I really enjoy them. Hope you give it a watch.

 

 

Aye I've seen it. Actually quite enjoyed it despite the subtitles. Might give it a bash later as in myself tnite.

Brilliant movie, thoroughly enjoyed it 8/10.

 

Thought the acting at the end was tremendous and was very emotional.

 

Can you believe it only cost half a million dollars to make that movie?

Yaaaaaaaaas, glad you liked it. Didn’t know that it only cost that, how is that even possible. 

 

Got another absolute belter for you now. One of the best war movies ever made and one of my favourite films I’ve watched.  It’s about two brothers divided on either side of the Korean War.

Ooh another one to watch.

 

I got the half million thing from Wiki so not sure it's entirely accurate as some of the big scenes must've cost a fortune.

Does seem very cheap for the incredible visuals in that movie. I actually went out and bought the DVD of the ‘Brotherhood of War’ after watching it. Gave a mate a loan of it and still not got it back and looking at the date on the trailer, didn’t realise the barsteward has had it that long After watching the movie, he has actually visited the monument in South Korea that was built from that story.

Train from Busan was great.

2 other Korean films that I enjoyed were, I saw The devil and The Tiger, A Hunters tale.

 

Both superb IMO.

Couldn't find brotherhood of war.

 

Where did you get it?

 

Watched a movie on Netflix instead called Steel Rain. Awesome again.

 

You have really got me into these Korean movies Haha.

You can watch it here, subtitles in bottom right speech bubble...

I’ve got a cracking wee collection of Chinese movies on dvd too.

The White Crow 10/10

 

Rudolf Nureyev. Brilliant celebrarion of his talent and personality. There is quite a bit of dance. But it is more of a psychological drama as he comes to terms with his talent and yearning for a free life one that the West and in particular Paris offers. 

 

Ralph Fiennes directs and co-stars. Talking of subtitles it's half Russian. There are a lot of good supporting performances. I like it's celebration of Russian ballet as the pre-eminent form. It's goes through Nureyev's very humble background and his perfection of his art.  I'm also a fan because ballet ranks with boxing and martial arts as the toughest arena. 

 

It's also very high drama. It has his dramatic move and it's fine not to know too much beforehand. 

[Madjambo21]

Went to see Shazam tonight with my son.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Lots of funny bits, good action scenes and good pacing.

Wee man is only 8 and was scared as hell at one point so just in case you are taking kids to see it be warned.

Moderate swearing too.

 

8.5/10

[iantjambo]

The Worlds End

 

8/10

 

Third and final instalment of the excellent “Cornetto Trilogy”.

 

Absolutely love all three of those films.

Interesting review

 

Reviews like the above make this a great thread

 

Fiennes is an interesting man and an absolutely brilliant actor, he's been in some rubbish over the years but he always stands out

[Thommo414]

Watched Captain Marvel today. Good film. Thought Brie Larson was excellent at leading the way and more charismatic than a lot of Internet trolls will have you believe. Hyped up nicely for Endgame now. 

 

7/10

Brotherhood of War is an outstanding film...extremely emotional.

 

Some other Korean films I’d recommend (apart from Old Boy, which is an absolute classic):

 

Sympathy for Mr Vengeance

Memories of Murder

A Bittersweet Life

Not a Korean movie but watched Missing Link today with the kids. A couple of laughs but on the whole pretty poor. 5/10

Just finished watching I Saw the Devil  Really good film, but as you said, it’s brutal. I was wriggling in my seat with the Achilles tendon scene. Definitely recommend anyone watching this...as long as you can stomach a lot of gory stuff.

 

8/10

 

As Korean films go though, I still preferred…

Last train to Busan

Pandora

The Raid

The Raid is Indonesian. Good film though - The Raid 2 is even better. 

 

Headshot and The Night Comes For Us are decent too. 

[robbo1874]

Wasn't well last week so watched BlackKlansman which I really liked. 9/10. Stumbled across Widows so gave it a go.

Enjoyed it despite Liam Neeson being in it. Thankfully he's not main character.

Anyway a solid 8/10.

Maybe Widows is well known as I'm no movie expert but if you don't know it give it a go.

Always thought it was Korean, dunno why??‍♂️

 

Loved The Raid film and every time I tried to find a copy of the 2nd one there was none, had completely forgotabout  it. Just checked my Cinema app and it’s there, that’s getting watched in the next couple of days

It turns the violence up to 11!
(example fight scene in spoiler)

The prison fight scene is utterly ridiculous. Unrelenting violence. 

[Boof]

Fisherman's Friends - a good, harmless, occasionally amusing film with one particular lump-in-the-throat moment.

[Carl Fredrickson]

Pet Sematary

 

I havent read the book nor seen the previous film and to be honest, didnt have a clue what the film was about. Horror movies arent my No 1 choice but this one was pretty decent. To be honest I am a big jessie and will jump at anything (to the amusement of other cinema goers) 

 

John Lithgow was good in it and I will probably read the book to see how it differs. 6/10

[Deviskan]

Watched another Korean film last night...The Wailing.

 

it received 5 star reviews, named as one of the best recent horrors and has a 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes etc.

 

However, I found it quite disappointing...it wasn’t scary in any way whatsoever, the acting was fine, the plot fairly straightforward ...but overall I found it decidedly average (in places it was more like a comedy in all honesty).

[Telford_jambo123]

Watched “wild rose” last night which is basically about an ex con who aspires to be a country western singer all the while being a jakie... 7/10

[iantjambo]

Missing Link

 

7/10

 

Took the wee man to see this yesterday.  Really enjoyed it. Quite funny as well.

Edited April 13, 2019 by iantjambo

[Carl Fredrickson]

Finally got round to watching Us last night. I quite enjoyed it - slasher more than a horror. Good story with a few humorous moments but the ending was a wee bit of a disappointment. Despite the ending would still give it 7/10

[Carl Fredrickson]

Shazam. A hoot of a movie. For those who take Marvel/DC seriously then this may not be for you. Silly at times, scary for younger ones at times and more than a few funny moments. 7/10

[Tommy Brown]

The Highwaymen, liked it.

I dug out the old Bonnie and Clyde with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunnaway. Quite dated now.

 

Just finished reading the Railwayman by Eric Lomax. Great read. What the prisoners of war were put through and put themselves through is horrendous.

Downloaded the movie for the flight home. Skipped to the end and caught him calling his for "a Fraud and a Liar".

This never happened, so a bit annoyed before I even start it.

[Disser Pointon]

The Mule.  I'm a massive Eastwood fan so probably biased but solid 8/10.

 

Wild Rose. A bit cliched but enjoyed it all the same and the lead was a good chanter. 7/10.

[Carl Fredrickson]

Been watching Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises with my son. Forgot how good they were. Heath Ledger as the Joker is amazing. My son though he was totally nuts. 

 

Three great movies that are ageing well. 8/10, 9/10 and 8/10
