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.

Racoon Valley

A deaf woman cannot hear the evacuation order that empties her small town after a plane crash poisons the areas water,  leaving her alone to face the creatures it spawns. Atmospheric and slow, it isn't for everyone, but I liked it.

George HW Bush

RIP George Herbert Walker Bush. He was the first person I ever cast a ballot for,  and the man whose integrity and steadfastness converted this reluctant Democrat into a loyal Republican.  You served this nation well sir; sleep well.  #41

Really, really good.  One of the best films I've seen ail year.

Cam

This Netflix original is a film about an online adult-content worker - a "Camgirl" - who finds her account hacked by a lookalike that begins to take over her life. It is smart, inventive, and at times downright creepy. It's not perfect but it's well worth a watch. (sexual content, adults only)
