  Last Train to Christmas 2021

  ★ Watched 18 Dec 2021 2

  I like Michael Sheen, time travel movies, movies set on trains and Christmas. 

  Despite that - this was rotten. 

  Props to the director for a a good stab at recreating the time periods from a filmmaking point of view. Sheen is always good. But this is like some weird Black Mirror reject. 

  Also the SKY EPG says this is 90 minutes long. Reader it is not. It’s 2 hours and feels 3. I paused it at one point to check how long was left and unleashed a blood curdling howl of pain.

  A Castle for Christmas 2021

  ★½ Watched 05 Dec 2021

  Not really sure how she could afford to buy a castle after paying for a trip from Edinburgh Airport to Dunbar in a black hack taxi.
