Never wanted to be immortalised in Dungeons and Dragons form?

Not without them paying me royalties!

Ok.
Roll higher than 15 on a charisma check and you can convince them.

Activating recommendation procedure for the old hammer horrors.
They good, dawg.
None of that hectic, got to give you a fright 2 seconds into the movie to stop you fidgeting crap.
They have a story, and the horror is slowly revealed until something nasty happens to the people you've started to like (that used to happen in horror movies, believe it or not).
I think they might still be showing a series of them on BBC 2, so what are you waiting for!? :brain:

You have an appreciation for Hammer Films too? I remember some years ago, when Swedish television aired shiploads of H.F. during a summer. I was glued to the telly every night

The Wraith was on last night.
An 80s movie about charlie sheen coming back from the dead to avenge his murder by challenging a psychotic drag racer and his goons to races in his ghost car.
This movie makes no sense.
The story revolves around charlie sheen, randy quaid the cop and a pretty lady with big 80s hair.
I'll take a second to give a little respect goes to Randy Quaid for being the only actor in the movie to put a tiny bit of effort into being a 3 dimensional character.
This is quickly retracted as you continue to watch this montage of shitty drag races, set to 80s pop music, and occasional flashes of boob.
Now, this cop must be the biggest retard on the face of the planet, since there was never any investigation, or even suspicion, of the psychotic drag racer who murdered charlie sheen, even though he's claimed chuck's girlfriend and gets insanely jealous and violent on anyone that looks at her.
The whole town is infected with this stupidity, the only ones that know being drag racer's gang and charlie sheen.

While charlie is killing off the gang one by one in his ghost car, he's also visiting his old girlfriend and making her show her boobs.
He occasionally takes a deep moment to tell her there will come a time she has to stand up to the psycho, or she'll be a prisoner forever.
This is an important lesson to have shoved down your throat, and it's the only one in the movie, so pay attention or you'll have wasted your time.

The rest of the gang die in car crashes without so much as a by-your-leave, but we wait until the lady gets her courage before drag racer dies in a race.
This allows the plot to continue beyond the 20 minutes it warrants.

By the end Randy Quaid has figured everything out, proving that despite being retarded he has perseverance.
All ends well, the bad gang are dead, Charlie's little brother gets given the Dodge ghost car, and Charlie comes back to life and rides off into the sunset with the lady on a dirt bike.

Movie - 1/10
Breasts - 8/10

This Is England


(Drama, Shane Meadows, UK, 2006, colour)
Shaun, a 12 year old is growing up in Britain in the early-mid 80's. His dad, whom Shaun feels great love and pride for, has died in the Falkland War, he's being bullied by the other kids and he is alone. That is, until he comes across Woody, a skinhead who has a few guys behind hem. Woody decides to take good care of Shaun, who gladly appreciates this opportunity to belong. Everything looks fine until Combo, a mate of Woody, and one who Woody owes a lot, appears. Soon the group finds themselves torn between loyalty to their "brothers" and Combo's ideas of a "White Britain". This movie can also be seen as a small picture of how right wing groups tore the skinhead unity appart, as they did in the late 70's/early 80's. All this happens with Shaun in the middle, it's how he sees it.

This flick is not another Romper Stomper, as this one adresses more the spirit of skinheads growing up in the UK in the 80's, and not the neo-nazi image of it, as well as the issue of belonging somewhere.

Personal opinion: One of the best movies I've seen in a very long time. Shaun is played by a young lad, Thomas Turgoose, and he does a remarkable job. The movie is more about tests to friendship and loyalty than about ideologies, here represented mainly by Combo. A real gem of a movie and highly recommended.

[Blood-Pigggy]

To be perfectly fair Romper Stomper only used the neo-nazi aspect as a backdrop, the film was more or less based on the characters and their relationships, not the fact that they were skinheads.

[Mighty Midget]

That is true to a great extent, and perhaps I phrased myself badly. What I meant was that in TIE ideologies only play a part as a dividing force, on one hand you have the true skinheads while on the other you have the far right boneheads. In RS ideology was the frame that held them together, in TIE ideology is what splits them.

Anyone can review "Them!"?
