Albert Noobs was awesome. Glenn Close predictably fantastic in a story based on truth about not one, but TWO women who disguise themselves and live as men in a time when women were merely chattel. Very bittersweet and well worth watching.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy left me wanting to read the book. It had to have been mercilessly condensed (it was previously filmed as a 7-part miniseries starring Alec Guiness), but I'll be damned if I can figure from this movie what was cut out of the story. The cold war spy drama was dry yet fascinating. Good performances by Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Colin Firth and John Hurt.
Loved, loved, loved Arthur Christmas. So much adorable fun from the folks who do Wallace and Grommit. Gonna have to buy this one and add it to the films I watch every year at holiday time (or, well, most years - since I didn't watch a single solitary one of my obligatory holiday movies or TV specials of yesteryear this year).
