In reply to iliana. Thanks Iliana, I wasn't sure where the Night Guest was going at first; it starts off slow but then builds. We are starting to stream movies while on break. It's fun to see some of these. I think we're waiting for the rental price to come down on The Holdovers but it does look quirky. Wishing you a Merry Christmas.

I haven’t heard of half of the movies you mentioned! Where have I been. I did see a preview for The Holdovers and that looks really fun and quirky. Wonderful review of The Night Guest. That has a great cover and I’m very intrigued by the premise.

In reply to Harvee. Thanks Harvee for visiting. Yeah there's uneasy feeling as the story goes on and one I hoped would go in a more positive direction. Poor Ruth. Enjoy your week & Happy Holidays!

The cover of the Night Guest gives an idea of what the story will be. Seems frightening about what Ruth will go through. I’m curious though. Have a good week.

Hi Helen, It’s all good whenever you can visit the site. The holidays are so busy. I hope you are having fun.
I still need to read The Boys in the Boat! Not sure why I never picked it up but the story seems fantastic. I think the movie will be good.
Have a great week.

I am woefully behind on visiting blogs, having my daughter home seems to have taken me way from anything reading/blogging/visiting. I am sneaking it in while she sleeps this morning.

I am looking forward to Boys in the Boat! I loved that book so much so, of course, am a bit worried the movie won’t be good, but I’m going to go see it anyway.

Thanks Lark. I had the staples in my knee removed yesterday and they think I’m doing very well. I need to continue the exercises many times as day ugh – to have a good result. So I will try my best.
Seeing some of the movies at home over this holiday might help .. getting me beyond this. See what you think of them.
Cheers. Happy holidays!

I want to see both Leave the World Behind and Boys in the Boat. And I hadn’t heard about the Joan Baez documentary; that looks really good, too. How’s your knee doing now? Enjoy the rest of your December! 😀

In reply to JaneGS.

Hi Jane, I too still haven’t read The Boys in the Boat book but I’m also keen to see the movie. The visuals from the trailer look good. We enjoyed the Elvis movie too and the Priscilla movie looks quite calmer than that. lol.
That’s great you’ll have a white Christmas in Colorado! We’re trying to hang onto our snow but it’s been warmer than normal.
The Joan Baez movie is a documentary — and I too wanted to hear more of her music in it — and less about all her demons but I think it dwells on her problems.
Wishing you very happy holidays! & reading too.

Yay for snow and white Christmases. We have snow along the CO front range and cold temps, so I am pretty confident our holiday will be white.

I am super jazzed about The Boys in the Boat movie–I’ve had the book on my TBR shelf for ages, and while I won’t try to read it before the movie, this is definitely a contender for our New Years Eve movie.

Priscilla should be interesting and a contrast to the 2022 Elvis movie, which I really liked.

I love Joan Baez’s voice and music, but not sure I want to read about her demons.

Great roundup, as usual. Happy Holidays.
