Edgar Wright recommended Le samouraï (1967) in Movies (curated)

"Le samouraï is a film I return to again and again. Like with any minimalist cinema, the less it states, the more you want to discover. Jean Pierre Melville’s film has been hugely influential, from Walter Hill’s The Driver through Luc Besson’s Leon: The Professional right up to this year’s Drive. Hell, even scenes from my own Hot Fuzz are ripped out of this. The iconic image of hit man Alain Delon lying on a bed in his bare apartment with just a canary for company is still echoed today. Melville took lone warrior mythology from Japanese culture, married it with the tough guy angles of ’40s gangster movies, and, along with John Boorman and Point Blank, ushered in a new age of neo noir. It’s a beguiling picture and one to stare at for a long time. Plus, it has so little dialogue that it is literally a must-watch."

You Better Watch Out
Christmas Evil- is a psychlogical horror film that tells the story of a tramaic Harry who was tramaist as a child. He witness santa claus, so he believes is santa claus making out. Now as Harry as grown man goes around dressing up as santa claus and starts killing people.

This reminds me so much of Joker. Think about it. A trama man who is insane, crazy and dress up and starts killing people. What really ticks off a human being. It takes a deep drive into the psychological espect of what makes a man go mad. He's trying to live a normal life but society/the world that he is living in is saying no.

During production, the film had the working title Santa. Originally titled You Better Watch Out, also known as Terror in Toyland.

Its a excellent film.

Discover more secrets about the Shadowhunters as they fight to protect the world from demons in the fifth book in the internationally bestselling series. What price is too high to pay, even for love? Clary is willing to do anything for Jace, but can she still trust him? Or is he truly lost? This edition contains a map and a new foreword by Cassandra Clare. Read all the sensational books in The Shadowhunter Chronicles: The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices, Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, The Bane Chronicles, The Dark Artifices, The Last Hours and The Shadowhunter’s Codex.


So I’ve almost totally given up on these books Clary and Jace drive me mental!
This one was the only one I actually enjoyed the reason being it brought the other characters forward instead of focusing on this toxic childish relationship.
I will stick to the end as I’m not for giving up on a series especially 5 books in. The reason for the 3 stars instead of 2 was because the book did bring the other characters forward!
