The Oxford Murders

The Oxford Murders (Hulu) is a 2008 Spanish/British/French drama/thriller film starring Elijah Wood and John Hurt. This is one of those movies that got almost universally negative reviews, but I don't begrudge the time I spent watching it. Sometimes I think professional reviewers expect too much. For me, it was a fine little time waster (as CJ might put it).

  5. I agree with you, that sometimes the professional movie reviewers get it wrong or have higher standards than me (col). Cute snowman.

  7. I think this may not have had good reviews because it was probably too cerebral and convoluted for most people. Was a heavy one, but it was a fne time waster, yes. LOL! Love your snowman. :)
