@Nepia Rebel Moon looked like a poor man's star wars with shades of several other Sci fi movies and a touch of Harry Potter.
I watched Silent Night, which was a poor mans John Wick / Nobody...seems the gang bangers at the centre of the film graduated from the same marksmanship school as the storm troopers of Star Wars.

It wasn't until I was listening to a podcast and they discussed the fact the film is mostly no dialogue that I realised it was no dialogue.
TBF, direct shots to the head have little effect anyway so there could have been a lot of hits.
As I said above, watch Woo's earlier movies instead of Silent Night.

It’s like he looked at latter day Marlon Brando and then thought “hold my beer”
I suspect rather that he looked at latter-day Marlon Brando and thought “hold my beer” but said "where's a slab?"

Old Dads. Had some very funny moments and unfortunately very relevant themes but dragged on and got boring. They need to keep films like this tighter and shorter but I guess alot of it has to do with watch minutes etc.

So have any of you Snyder fans actually watched
Star WarsFireflySeven Samurai/The Magnificent SevenRebel Moon yet?It's definitely not as good as I was hoping but decent enough. At least those bad South Africans were killed.
The R rated version might be more interesting.

I made the mistake of watching a Snyder cut once, never again.
Speaking of Snyder ...
Aquaman: The DCEU went out with a whimper, hopefully the DCU under Gunn will be better.
Very average movie, would have been worse if not for Momoa and Patrick Wilson.
Kidman looks like she was CGI. Still funny that Aquaman is half Aussie and half Kiwi.
Best thing about it, less than two hours long.

Bad Santa is the best Xmas comedy of all time bar none. Billy Bob, the kid who plays Thurman, the midget and the late Bernie Mac, John Ritter and Cloris Leachman are just outstanding.
So fun. So offensive.
I have a feeling I’ve done a review on it already so will refrain from doing so again but golly it was cool to watch for the first time in ages.

The Equalizer 1,2,3. Watched all 3 on the 15 hour flight from HK back to Pomgolia.
-
My sort of movie. Bit of depth, loads of action and some good acting from Denzel as well as a brilliant villain. 4 hot russians out of 5 stupid body counts
-
Classic Hollywood follow up. Shit villain, similar sort of storyline, but still the same ridiculous body count. 2.5 Beverly Hills Cop II out of 5 Beverly Hills Cop 1
-
Lets try something different and base it in Italy. But follow the same plot. Watchable action in a stunning European setting.
2.5 Don Corleone would turn his grave of what the Mafia turned into out of 5 Fair plays for trying something different.
Simliar to Taken, you only really need to watch the first one.
EDIT: just saw the excellent villain was Leonard from Shortland Street! Mind officially blown!!!

Watched DH3 and 4.0 over successive nights. CF Jr preferred 3, I preferred 4. Bruce was in fine form in 4, just 5 to go
There were 9 Die Hards?
I don't know if I should gratify that comment with an answer

I think Trading Places deserves a mention before that
