    I'm intrigued by the Holdovers. I love Paul Giamatti and Sideways was a wonderful film so him and Alexander Payne combined is always a treat. The trailer made it look unbearably schmaltzy though so I was a bit surprised to see the rave reviews coming in. 

    Finally got to the Holdovers today and it was brilliant (the trailer doesn't do it justice). Upliftingly funny and heartbreakingly sad in equal amounts, visually stunning and a great cast. Destined to become a Christmas classic (despite seeing it in February 🤦😅).

  2. Saw Poor Things on Friday and it was absolutely incredible. Two older persons walked out at the first sight of gore and nudity (which was probably to their benefit with everything else that followed). There's been a bit of ScotNat controversy about taking the setting away from Glasgow, but all the locations are so exaggerated and fantasy-like I can't see that it makes much of a difference.

    Hoping to see The Holdovers this weekend, which has picked up some rave reviews and Paul Giamatti is always worth a watch.

    I watched LA confidential for the first time, really enjoyed it 

    If you can put up with James Ellroy's writing style (not for everyone) the books are great reads too.
