It’s been 60 years. I think it’s time to watch this movie again.

Wonka | Regal

Glass Onion | Alamo Drafthouse 

It’s a Knives Out mystery. These remind me more of the old Agatha Christie movies than the Kenneth Branagh remakes do. I did like A Haunting in Venice though.

They are gonna show the first 7 episodes of season 1 for the 10th anniversary. This is one of the anime shows I liked.

Not to be confused with the horror movie from 1996. Which I would argue is also very November.
