For those who celebrate Christmas most will do so today. There are a few places, however, where it is celebrated on the 24:th. (And indeed places where is is not celebrated at all.) And therefore, if you happen to find that you have got some time on your hands but not that much energy, I would like to recommend Burke & Hare (2010, directed by John Landis).
It's a slightly dark kind of humour but not overly so. It might seem a peculiar film to recommend around this time a year but if you fancy a break from the Christmas cheer and all the jolliness of the season then Bure & Hare could prove a most entertaining break.
(You may or may not recognize Andy Serkis who plays one of the leading roles in this piece. If anything you might recognize his voice. Then that would probably be because you have seen the Lord of the Rings trilogy in which Andy plays the creature Gollum. It's most interesting to see Andy in a different role and he plays it most well!)
Anyhow, to summarize the plot, it's about two grave robbers in the 19th century who come up with an idea to get their business of providing Edinburgh medical school with study material going properly. It might just not be fool prof, however.
