'Spirited' comes to Apple TV+

If you have the streaming service (or a free trial), you can watch here! I haven't watched it myself yet, but hope to catch it soon.

TCM alert

Great Expectations (1946) airs on the channel at 12 p.m. today, as part of a day-long focus on literary adaptations.

'Spirited' hits theaters

Spirited opened in select U.S. theaters yesterday, one week in advance of its arrival on Apple Plus. Reviews are, on the whole, pretty good. Richard Roeper at the Chicago Sun-Times writes, "Even though this is 'A Christmas Carol' told from a different angle [namely, from the ghosts' perspective], it’s still 'A Christmas Carol.'"
