Friday was a big day of socializing, so tonight is fine dining with a plate of chicken nuggets and a diet coke on the couch, and ready for a movie. Knives Out started playing over the Christmas break here, and after lockdown is still in rotation in the arthouse cinema. I was almost going to go and see it, but even a 7.30pm showing seems too late in the evening for me over the winter time. However it is a fine time to sit on the couch and watch it on my own tv.
I heard rumours of how much other viewers liked this who dunnit. I found myself somewhat confused. Famous author is found dead after his 85th birthday, and all of the dysfunctional family are questioned as to who could have killed him. I was somewhat distracted by Daniel Craig and his terrible accent, and kept expecting him to start running or take off his shirt - but alas no 007 action here. I did have to Google the movie a couple of times to in order to figure out the plot and who the characters were.
So it is a Saturday night 3.5/5 from me.

I've heard of this one and, though I haven't seen it, it sounds like a poor imitation of real whodunnits from the golden age of mysteries. They can't seem to do them well now.
