Woke up hungry........decided to start the day backwards. Chimmichurri & garlic stuffed leg of lamb, crusted with many rubs.

Looking for something to watch I found this 100 Rotten Tomato's for free, too tired to watch it all......Wiki called it a psychological drama but to me a comedy 

Black Narcissus

Bought is in 1987 when it came out......$20? Linda found while organizing books. Thought it might be worth $21:-) Nope $2000? Who knows.....

Dawson City : frozen time

 

watched this on criterion last night. Two prong story about a boom town in the Klondike gold rush and the silent era of film. Recommended, but a tad dry.

The World Turned Upside Down

Not a Christmas song exactly, but touches on festive Christmas celebrations being banned in the time of the English civil wars, so aprapos for 2020, when the world has certainly been turned upside down.

Let's be content, and the times lament

Cheers!

Upon DiB recommendation I watched and enjoyed Mandy starring Nicholas Cage and Andrea Riseborough.  A psychedelic revenge picture, it starts out strong and gives a nod to those cheesy shot-on-video flicks reviewed in Film Threat in the early 90's.  For me the best thing about the movie is Riseborough, I could have done with a lot more of her. And I wish the ending were trippier, I was hoping for/expecting something along the lines of Ken Russell. I don't think I've seen anything else with Riseborough but I'm a fan now.
