Movie 1: Fackham Hall
This is a period piece that is part drama, part comedy, part spoof and part farce all mimicking Downtown Abbey. The movie follows a very nice pick pocket as he gets a job in an English country mansion. We knew nothing about the movie going in, and found it entertaining enough with some dumb and crude jokes. One national reviewer said the movie is “Naked Gun meets Downtown Abbey meets Airplane.” In theaters now and will more than likely stream somewhere soon.

Movie 2: Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
This is the third movie in the Knives Out franchise. A young priest (Josh O’Connor) is sent to upstate New York to assist an older priest (Josh Brolin). And murderous events start from there. Glenn Close is over-the-top fun. If you enjoyed the first two movies, you should enjoy part three. In limited theaters now and streaming on Netflix Friday, December 12, 2025.

Movie 3: The Beast In Me
This is a Netflix eight part series. Matthew Rhys plays a very rich potential killer who moves next door to a Pulitzer Prize winning author played by Claire Danes (recent Golden Globe nominee for this role). This is a who dun it with a very good supporting cast. We enjoyed all episodes but be warned: none of these characters are likeable in the least.

Fackham Hall was good for a lot of laughs. My favorites were from the priest who wasn’t good with punctuation. We enjoyed it.
Thanks guys
