I've always been partial to hobo movies/documentaries, but this was just through the roof. Its amazing how in reality the hobo was the menace, but I loved him and rooted for him the whole way. Shack, the train conductor, rivals Nurse Ratchet of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for all-time greatest villian. I mean his eyes practically pop out of his head. The struggle for superiority between the these two characters kept my eyes glued. I will buy this and I will watch it many many times.

I want to be a hobo.

11/10

Love this movie. Borgnine is just an arsehole throughout.

The former was interesting and the first 3D movie I ever went to see. I probably wouldn't like it at all really, were it not for the 3D, but it was a good time.

The latter was bizarre, but I actually enjoyed it.

Plot holes a plenty but as far as B movie sci-fi hokum goes, it was decent enough. Decent set design and a relative lack of cliches means it's probably worth another watch.

You really do watch a lot of trash - some good stuff as well, mind.
But a lot of trash nonetheless.
I don't understand people's appreciation for B movies
Then again, I'm not a fan of cheese.

I grew up with video nasties, 80's OTT action and B movies and can differentiate between the aims via more serious movies.

I am easily at home discussing Fulci Zombie movies or the socio-political attributes of Ken Loach.

Besides that, I do enjoy seeing people ripped limb from limb ;)

Just because I watch Van Damme films doesn't mean I don't know my movies. I know they are crap and that's the difference.

TheCunningStunt 09-19-2010 06:23 PM

Everyone who watches them knows they're crap, that's why I don't get the appeal!
Usually when I want something a bit light hearted
I'll watch a rubbish comedy which cheers me up somewhat.
Different strokes for different folks.

I have to be up in 7 hours and I'm tempted to watch another film. Has anyone seen Oldboy? Is it any good?
And is it part of a trilogy, I heard it was part of a revenge trilogy or something.
Do you need to watch the first film to 'get it', or are they all stand alone independent films?

jackhammer 09-19-2010 06:26 PM

They are stand alone, so you can watch them easily enough on their own merit. I actually prefer Lady Vengeance out of the trilogy. It's a trilogy that is thematic and not chronological but then I only watch crap so you may need a second opinion ;)

Zarko 09-19-2010 06:28 PM

Mr Vengeance > Oldboy > Lady Vengeance

Can't go wrong really either way. They really go in order of style (Least to most) but Oldboy's the most reknowned so easiest to go with that and not worry about the others.

I thought Oldboy was amazing (and pretty disturbing), definitely worth watching. You definitely don't need to see the other two movies to get it. I think it's only a trilogy in terms of the themes anyway, there's no ongoing narrative or characters as far as I'm aware.
