Another glorious reading retreat!

At my recent reading retreat, I actually got through six books, which is more than usual, though I guess they were all reasonably short.

Knives Out

Finally got around to watching Knives Out today, and I actually found it quite boring. Daniel Craig was obviously having a tremendous time with his detective role, and it's always good to see Christopher Plummer. But Chris Evans was woefully underused, and there was just so much narration. It didn't really feel like a film at all, just an endless, repetitive recounting of the same events over and over again. There was one very amusing bit right at the end, but not worth waiting for, in my view. I know a lot of people who loved this film, and I'm glad they did - I wish I had liked it more!
