There was a late press screening of this week's holiday horror comedy
Krampus this week, the fourth film this year about the mythical Anti-Claus who terrorises families on Christmas. More family-style holiday pleasures were found in
The Peanuts Movie, which nicely captures the tone of the original Snoopy and Charlie Brown cartoons with an updated animation style and a gently hilarious story that grown-ups and young children will enjoy.
I also caught up with
The Big Short, Adam McKay's comedy about the financial crisis starring the superb Christian Bale, Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling. Matthew Macfadyen plays a filmmaker in the knowing pastiche
Lost in Karastan, which kind of loses its way about halfway through. And the acclaimed Icelandic film
Rams is a fiercely clever exploration of an estranged brotherhood in a style best appreciated by arthouse fans.
This coming week we have a screening of Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy in
The Revenant, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper in
Joy, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in the comedy
Sisters, Jackie Chan and Adrian Brody in the action movie
Dragon Blade, and Charlie Kaufman's
Anomalisa.
