If you’re like me around the holidays, you’re less likely to flip to a Hallmark Channel Christmas movie and more likely to reach for a good thriller.
Carry On, which is streaming right now on Netflix, DID NOT DISAPPOINT.
Without giving away anything, let me just say that Jason Bateman is the best. In his movies, he can be loveable, dorky, comical, ruthless, or flat out evil. It just depends on the movie and in this one, he is one bad dude. But he’s so good at it that you’ll love every suspenseful minute of it (even if you don’t even see his face for the first chunk of the movie).
So while this movie is no holiday heart-warmer, it technically is set at Christmastime and there are holiday travelers. You’ll hear some holiday tunes, too. There’s even a little bit of a love story but so much suspense that you won’t get any warm and fuzzies. So if you take the side that Die Hard is a Christmas movie, then you’ll be loving every part of this one, too!
Definitely add it to your list. It’s worth it.

Movie Monday: Love Actually
One of my favorite movies dates back to 2003. The romantic Christmas movie “Love Actually” was released and used the now popular (but at the time quite novel) interwoven storyline plot of eight couples dealing with their love lives in London at Christmastime. It’s a great movie (and I’m not usually one to like sappy Christmas movies) […]
