Last post by Dr. Whom - Today at 05:23:33 AMIntimate Confessions of a Chinese Courtesan (1972)
A girl is kidnapped and sold into prostitution. She rises to be a prized courtesan, all the while planning terrible revenge.
This Shaw brothers kung fu-sploitation has it all: rape, torture (implied), BDSM, (some) nudity, lesbian seduction and gory kung fu fights. A hoot!

Last post by claws - Today at 04:57:28 AMPeople hated the sparkling vampires, so, that made Twilight (2008) a bad movie. I thought it was entertaining, and Kristen Stewart's wooden acting didn't ruin the movie for me.

I'd also like to add to the list The Last Action Hero. I thought it was a really fun movie.
Agreed about TLAH: even the pinball machine was fun 😀

Last post by M.10rda - Today at 03:07:50 AMA GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT (2014):
The eponymous young woman occupies a post-industrial wasteland almost as foreboding as David Lynch's Philadelphia and yet walks (and sometimes skateboards) alone at night anyway, since she's a cape-wearing crimefighter of sorts and also probably a vampire. She meet-cutes a guy with a complicated family situation and lots of moody silent staring ensues. This created a lot of buzz for writer/director Ana Lily Amirpour when it was released, but then she made THE BAD BATCH, which was roundly rejected and seemed to stall the ascension of her career. Personally I kind of liked the meandering, wacky BAD BATCH in spite of it ultimately being a bit of a nothing burger. I tried watching A GIRL... some years back and couldn't make it through.
I finished it this week, and I admire its strengths (like the highly textured B+W photography) while thinking I could've skipped it in perpetuity and not missed much. Amirpour is clearly inspire by Lynch (many shots of large machinery in motion, landscapes exposed only by headlights, extreme close-ups of lighters igniting, etc) and Jim Jarmusch, particularly his sloooooow early B+W stuff, though it's unclear if the also similar ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE (2013) was released in time to influence this film. The small amount of action is handled effectively, and FWIW this is the only film I've seen IIRC that is shot entirely in the United States where all the characters speak Persian.......
Also, there's a cool cat. So 3/5, I suppose.
