Time for a New Year’s Day Bloody Mary 🍹
The party’s really kicking off here now. A Happy New Year to everyone 🥳
A quiet New Year’s Eve 🧀 🍷
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, 2023 - ★★★★½
Enjoyed that far more than I expected to. Thought Phoebe Waller-Bridge was really good, as, of course, was Harrison Ford. Fitting conclusion (I presume) to the Indiana Jones films.

Saltburn, 2023 - ★★★★
Very darkly entertaining!
Watching Bernard Levin interviewing Leonard Bernstein from 1982. Making me appreciate how impressive Bradley Cooper’s portrayal of Bernstein is in the film Maestro 🎥 📺 🎵
Predators, 2010 - ★★★½
Definitely in the same vein as the 1987 Predator. Not too bad as a sci-fi survival action film.
Finished reading: Why Mahler? by Norman Lebrecht 📚
Aliens vs Predator: Requiem, 2007 - ★
Definitely the poorest of the Alien/Predator/AvP films I’ve seen so far. Very poor and very dark (illumination 🔦 not mood ☹️).
AVP: Alien vs. Predator, 2004 - ★★★½
Watched on Sunday December 24, 2023.
