    The Killer

    Starring Michael Fassbender in the main role. The film aims to be a psycho thriller inside the mind of an assassin. I found it glacially slow, with a lack of action and style over substance. It didn't rise to the heights the reviews suggested (for me anyway)

    3 bungled hits out of 5 nail gun shots to the chest

    The 355

    Chick spy flick, with a quality cast, let down by an overly complicated story. Sort of a Charlie's Angels without the humour

    2 out of 5

    4 hours of my life I won't get back

    I’ve never heard of the other guy

    You just wasted another fucking beer.

    Oh right, the guy from Yellowstone ( thanks google )

    Dazed and Confused. This is the movie thread.

    Good Will Hunting is the one I think of first for him as he's quite prominent as one of the four buddies.

    Violent Night (2022)
    Blatant case of a coked up movie-exec coming up with "What if... Die Hard, but with Santa! Like... Real Santa. And... " And script-writers running with that, and merging Die-Hards 1&2 with some feel-good christmas shit I've never seen.
    I was kinda hoping for a "new favourite xmas movie", with minimal actual hope in that happening.
    Some silly fun. Not much more than that. Probably won't bother watching ever again... a rotation of Die Hard & Lethal Weapon pretty much fills my invented need for December 25th-ish movie watching material.
    Also - titwatch: zero.

    Awesome film you have to watch more than once - if only just to get all the clever references to films like Alien, African Queen and The Matrix.

    Nick Park is a certified genius.

    African Queen

    I can safely say I would never get that reference. I think I'd have a lot of company too.

    One of the canal boats was called Accrington Queen.

    Then again, it may have named in honour of @MN5 's visit to Accrington a few years back.

    I must have missed that one due to not being born for another 26 years
