Press Releases and Film News / RIP Yoshihiro Nishimura
Last post by Rev. Powell - June 02, 2026, 02:28:38 PMThe Japanese director of "Tokyo Gore Police" (and special effects expert on many other Japanese horror movies of the 90s and 2000s) is dead at 59.
He also directed "Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl," "Helldriver," and co-directed "Mutant Girls Squad." You may also know his effects works from such films as "Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead."
I thought he was the most talented of his circle (not including Sion Sono.)

Bad Movies / Re: RECENT VIEWINGS (Bad Movie...
Last post by M.10rda - June 02, 2026, 12:59:54 PMMOROZKO aka FATHER FROST (1924):
To check out the poster image on Letterboxd (as well as some of the reviews) you'd think this was a freaky art/horror flick, hence I sought it out and watched it. Don't make the same mistake! This is a 40 minute nothingburger where the eponymous Krampus-lite weirdo appears only briefly and does nothing!
Honestly I couldn't brief you too well on what does happen - a peasant family in snowy Russia sits around their hovel, bickers, then a female member wanders around in the snow and gets lost... maybe is in danger of freezing... then maybe (?) is rescued by "Father Frost" or whoever... makes it home... and there's a party or maybe a wedding? I have no idea and couldn't care less. A handful of intertitles are in Russian w/ no available English subtitles, though the scarcity of foreign text couldn't significantly illuminate this threadbare and uneventful slog. Is Father Frost the West's "Santa Claus"? He's got long creepy claws and doesn't seem too jolly, but then he doesn't kill or eat anyone either (unfortunately) and there is a sleigh.......
And hey, what's up with the plasticine noses (and other facial features) on so many silent film actors? Were these hold-overs from their theatre makeup kits and they didn't realize they looked ultra-fake in close-up/on camera? I'm talking about members of the family here, not the mythical snow-guy of the title. It makes ya' really appreciate the credible self-created FX worn by Lon Chaney during the same era.
2/5 at best. I got nothing out of it. Riffs might help but then I don't even think there's enough here to make fun of.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by M.10rda - June 02, 2026, 12:41:56 PMI too was underwhelmed by the much-vaunted action sequences in CTHD. I think the fights are inferior to a lot of other Chinese/HK films and after HULK I decided that Ang Lee is just not a good director of action. However as a character drama, I agree CTHD is really strong.

Last post by Trevor - June 02, 2026, 11:02:12 AMThe movie RUSH.
Formula 1 racing champions Niki Lauda and James Hunt are portrayed in the film as mortal enemies when they were actually friends off the track, more like brothers really. Rivals, yes. Enemies, no.

Television / Re: THE BOYS has finished its ...
Last post by M.10rda - June 02, 2026, 10:26:10 AMThat's cool. I didn't strongly dislike the WATCHMEN movie, though I preferred the HBO "sequel".
I will part ways w/ you on V FOR VENDETTA. The book is one of my absolute favorites, graphic or prose. I'd call it just about perfect, and spent 15+ years fantasizing about an adaptation that did it justice. When the Wachowski-produced one was released, I was... underwhelmed to say the least.
But different folks/strokes and so on.
