Yesterday we watched Glass Onion (it is now on Netflix! <3) and it was just as wonderful as Knives Out, if not more. We need a Benoit Blanc mystery every year, please and thank you.

And then tonight we went to the cinema to watch Violent Night, which can best be described as a cross between Home Alone and Die Hard, but starring Santa, and winning on all fronts. Funny, violent, and also very Christmassy, with genuinely touching moments.

ETA: We came out of the cinema feeling SO CHRISTMASSY, we have all agreed that it's going to be a yearly staple and we need to get the DVD.

Recommending both wholeheartedly. :)

Lol! I agree about both films. I loved Violent Night although the friend I went with had to look through her fingers at some of the antics.

I thought GO seemed much shorter than over two hours. Always a good recommendation that I’m engaged with the film.

Oh yeah, some of the violence was... truly gruesome. I am a big fan of viewing stuff through my fingers. This does not detract from my enjoyment.

Yes, time just flew by in the best possible way. And I really want to watch it again, so catch all the stuff I missed/wasn't aware of the first time.
