Christmas is coming and I am still here

I have been reading The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis. The War of the Flowers by Tad Williams. Moondust by Andrew Smith. I have just bought the new novel by James Lee Burke because he is one of the great writers of crime and fiction in general.

I have been watching Angels and Demons; which was nearly as dull as The Da Vinci Code. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. All I can say is what went wrong with this film? Slow, few set pieces of note, odd editing choices in fight sequences and no real through line. State of Play. Crowe is a great actor. The Omega Man which is a little cheesy now, but which still packs a punch. Moon.

Moon has to be the best science fiction film of the year by a mile and one of the best films of the year. Thought provoking, thoughtful, beautifully shot and beautifully acted.

Nearly all my Christmas shopping is complete, so at least I can cut down on the stress of busy shops over the next couple of weeks.

Otherwise life is... okay. Ticking over. I am looking forward to the holiday and spending more time with the one I love.
