First Mission Impossible was good, rest been poor. I love most of his films though.

i say this regularly - tom cruise is a knob but is in some great films. minority report great too.

i thought first mi was rubbish. The later ones have been good though.

Milltown Row2

I don't think he's a great actor to be fair, but he's been in some very good films, the problem is he's generally the lead and has to try and carry the film..

The Outsiders for us older folk looking back was a great film of the day, which spawned many a good actor. IF he wasn't the lead he'd be better I feel, but he's a bit like Ronaldo if ya know what I mean.

The wife will not watch a film with him in it lol

It was shit too lol. From 3 on. The one with Thandie Newton and Doug Ray Scott was very good I thought.

Top Gun Maverick was the best I seen at the cinema in a long long time.

I loved the original top gun.
Found top gun maverick mediocre. Felt like a tom cruise vanity project.

I've yet to  see a good film with Tam Cruise in it

Don't know about this Tam Cruise bloke, but Tom Cruise has been in a few decent movies (exceptions rather than the rule, in fairness):

Collateral
Magnolia
A Few Good Men
Interview with the Vampire

I liked Risky Business

Finally watched banshees. Struggling to work out what all the fuss was about. Beautifully filmed and well acted but the story itself is pretty crap. I mean I kept watching intrigued waiting to see the clever ending to bring it all together of course that never happened ;D

Saw it last night too. Interesting setting but average at best film.

like the Irishman, completely over hyped

I thought Banshees of Inisherin was outstanding. A movie that knocks about in your head for days afterwards.

I wonder if the marketing of the film has something to do with some of the subsequent reaction. Trailers and other soundbytes seemed to characterise it as a quirky, witty bit of schmaltz. Maybe the sort of movie that might try to have a 'clever' ending.

But in reality it's a fairly straight deep dive into loneliness, abuse, and fear. I certainly haven't seen anything else recently that handles these themes with such humour and accessibility.

It'll win all the awards and probably deserve to do so.
Doc would listen to any kind of nonsense and change it for you to a kind of wisdom.
