La bûche / Season's Beatings (1999) - Following the recent death of her second husband, for Christmas, Yvette tries to meet the three daughters from her first marriage with Stanislas, the gypsy violinist, again. During the preparations, questions and revelations are well underway from Louba, the artist, Sonia, the middle child and Milla, the rebel.

I had not heard about this previously, but a French Christmas movie starring Charlotte Gainsbourg was all that was needed for me to want to see it. 7/10

Knives Out - 8/10. Really enjoyed it. A fun whodunit kind of film. All star cast, but Chris Evans is a stand out.

Un conte de Noël / A Christmas Tale (2008) - The troubled Vuillard family is no stranger to illness, grief, and banishment, but when their matriarch requires a bone-marrow transplant, the estranged clan reunites just in time for Christmas.

This film is the star on top my Christmas movie tree. 10/10

You should check it out. If nothing else it's a bit of a palette cleanser from TLJ. Check your brain at the door though.

Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker - 5/10

I was surprised by how much Abrams stole word for word from the Original Trilogy... I still think all Abrams did was reboot the original with a female protagonist, I didn't care for the over the top ridiculous force powers or the poorly written story which jumped all over the place...

Jumanji: The Next Level

8/10 as good as the last one. Love these movies they do exactly what it says on the tin. Good fun and a bit silly. Looking forward to the next one

Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker - 7.5/10 - Weakest in the NT for me but still enjoyable.
