    Step Brothers

    In terms of dumb entertainment that’s actually really funny it’s tough to beat this.

    Will Ferrall can be pretty hit or miss but he’s terrific in this and John C Reilly matches him every step of the way.

    Not quite sure why this flick works but it does, genuine LOL moments.

    Slightly disconcerting that I’m quite a bit older than these guys now considering I thought of them as middle aged when I first saw this.

    Great performance. Love the way he says things like "raper".

    Things Heard & Seen (2021)

    Gothic-style drama/horror film with James Norton (Grantchester) and Amanda Seyfried. Surprisingly good and avoided the cliched twists and endings you normally get. Norton a bit of a revelation as one of the lead characters.

    @MN5 I'd say it's their second best movie. Bettered by Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

    After watching The Killer am I to assume that Fincher is a fan of The Smiths? Too much...

    Yes.

    Ridiculously so. At best I like one of their songs.

    Also…..

    His repetitive monologues got ridiculous. Some reasonably good tension, one of the best fight scenes in a movie for years……..and Fassbender was ruthless and cool but overall not the best flick I’ve seen

    Agreed, I think they’re a shithouse band all up.
