Press Releases and Film News / Re: RIP Bruce Leung Siu-Lung.
Last post by Jim H - Today at 10:10:38 PMQuote from: Alex on January 18, 2026, 10:33:07 AMPossibly best known for playing The Beast in Kung Fu Hustle, the veteran martial arts actor has died at the age of 77.
RIP.
As a reminder, everyone should see the magnum opus from the early part of his career, The Dragon Lives Again. You´ll never see another film like it, I promise you, and it recently got a miraculously high quality blu ray release.

This used to be a really cool and awesome place to chat before Trevor came along.
Then Trevor arrived and it was Undies this...undies that. Undies Undies Trevor Trevor underwear undies..Trevor Me ME meme....
For years and years and years,Trevor, I've watched you write all sorts of BS here.
You've pretty much hijacked this entire forum with your weirdness for what? well over a decade? YOU are one of the primary reasons I was driven away from this forum years ago.
I will not respond to you here.
You need to get lost for a while.

Bad Movies / Re: RECENT VIEWINGS (Bad Movie...
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 07:44:14 PMBLACK PHONE 2 (2025):
The first movie surprised me as writer/director Scott Derrickson had made a few real stinkers previously. Yet I thought BLACK PHONE worked consistently well on all levels. The sequel also seemed to be going in a great direction for nearly the first hour. Particularly I appreciated that it focused on survivors from the first film who really appeared to be transformed and deeply challenged by their traumatic experiences. And like the original, the first half of this one is quite creepy.
Then, fairly abruptly at the midway point, BLACK PHONE 2 turns into NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2 through 6. The highly specific "rules" that were established in the first film are ignored and the violence becomes exaggerated and even cartoonish. There are also lots of more IRL details that make little or no sense. (I feel like the filmmakers have no idea how snow, ice water, or freezing weather work.) The quality of dialogue plummets. It's well-known that I dislike Ethan Hawke as an actor generally, but his greasy, unlikeable quality was very well-utilized in the first film. He's less well-utilized here, but in most Ethan Hawke movies my biggest issue is Ethan Hawke, yet in BLACK PHONE 2 he isn't even among the movie's Top 10 biggest problems!
2/5 Skip it.
