On This Day

Charles Dickens released A Christmas Carol on this date 175 years ago.

My Boo Level 50

A Star is Born

I saw this today with Lisa at Mayfair and loved everything about it. Lisa was less enthusiastic but still enjoyed it.

Smiley got into MHSA!

Smiley is now enrolled at Milwaukee H.S. of the Arts as a visual art major. Proud he's attending his first choice school, and my alma mater. - Lisa

Peppermint

This was a great action flick. And you know what? It was a woman out whupping a$$, and no one, not even the bad guys, gave her gender a second thought. I'd call that progress.

Christmas Downtown

Downtown is so pretty! - Junie

The Equalizer 2

I liked the first one, but this? Yawn.

The Man Who Invented Christmas

Lisa and the kids saw this in the theater last year but I missed out - and boy do I regret it.  This was a joyous,  charming movie that made me smile from beginning to end.  Well done!

I'll pass

Welp. That sounds awful.

Jigsaw

I'm no fan of the Saw movies, which I view as torture porn.  Jigsaw was better than most in the series,  in that it wasn't completely awful.

Operation Finale

A film about the hunt for Eichmann after the war. It was a good solid movie but lacked a real sense of urgency. Worth a watch all the same.
