    In the end I thought The Killer (2023) was good but the thing I liked most about it is that it was the rare assassin movie about a guy who was simply Okay at being an assassin. Like he probably wouldn't even be on the leaderboards.

    Tonight’s Film Selection🎬🎥🎞️: I don’t usually choose my movie this early, but the Killer Rabbit popped into my head. Easily one of the top ten (or even five) film comedies of all time. I don’t think there’s a movie that I’ve quoted as many times as “Monty Python & the Holy Grail”.

    Movie recommendation for tonight, The Killer Might be one of John Woo's best movies, and considering his work that's saying a lot. Chow Yun Fat of course continuing to be the coolest man in existence, and Infra-Man's Danny Lee.

    They have made another Attack of the Killer Tomatoes movie. With John Astin (og Gomez Addams) returning as Professor Gangreen, he's 96 years old so he's probably not in it much but this was a fun way of finding out he's still alive. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA8l...

    The Killer was the only major John Woo film I’d never seen and I’m so glad I waited for the big screen. Unquestionably his masterpiece. Danny Lee’s cop being immediately horny for Chow Yun-Fat’s “empathetic eyes” is what dreams are made of. Melodramatic action perfection. Wow.

    I something think I'm a bigger fan of David Fincher's movies than David Fincher; he doesn't care for The Game, his 1997 follow up to Se7en, but I prefer it to later work like The Killer. Michael Douglas and Sean Penn star in a twisty Twilight Zone-type thriller 4/5 film-authority.com/2026/02/01/t...

    To take a sustainable energy use view of it, it's also a film where the killer uses a battery powered drill, long before such things were available. It's a real hoot of a movie. Although it would have more hilarious if the Killer was tethered to a long extension cord.
