No, I was going to see it today in London, but I read you can watch it on Netflix so I will probably do that instead. I keep reading differing reviews so I wondered if anyone on here thought of the film.

Last night I watched "The Lost Bus" which stars Matthew McConaughey. It is the true story of what happened in 2018 during the most devastating fire in California history called the Camp Fire. The town of Paradise was destroyed. It is a really intense movie! I liked it a lot!
Thanks, we watched that last night and we liked it as well. I hadn't heard about it before. :)
 
Just watched "Eddington" on HBO Max. It's a new movie and stars Joaquin Phoenix, and Pedro Pascal which is why I picked it. It is a strange movie, slow to start and gets really violent. Takes place in 2020 in a tiny town in New Mexico.

After reading the nice Christmas book, I decided it was time for cheesy Christmas movies. I do not get the Hallmark channel but Amazon has lots of movies. I picked "Christmas Under the Northern Lights" and it was typical feel good Christmas romance.

Christmas movie number 2, "Christmas for Three". This is a sweet story about a young bachelor who becomes the guardian of his high school best friend's child when they are tragically killed in an accident. Of course, he falls for the social worker and it is very predictable. The story was touching and sweet but the production seemed really low budget and the acting not so good.
Number 3 which I am watching now is a Hallmark movie on Amazon called "Christmas on Cherry Lane" and already is miles better.

The Friend which is quite a sad but a very good film. It's about grieving, friendship and the most extraordinary dog that I've ever seen in a film. Moreover, Naomi Watts is excellent and her acting is perfection.

If you love dogs, this is a film for you.

I watched a Christmas horror film that I had seen before called Violent Night. It had David Harbour from Stranger Things in it. It was quite good as I didn't remember it that well.

I'm going to relax at home today and watch another Christmas film, this time not a horror.
