Movie Review – Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
—
My granddaughter and I had so much fun watching Puss In Boots: The Last Wish. That cat keeps us in stitches. What we really loved was how the movie brought in other fairy tale stories and used them in this storyline. The voices are amazing as is the CG. It was really pretty to look…

Christmas First Watch Review – The Ref (1994)
—
Ah yes, Christmas is, first and foremost, a time for family. Mind you, with a family like this one I can understand why people going off skiing somewhere distant or stock up on microwave roast meals and keep the curtains closed. Throw in the heightened fears of burglary surrounding houses full of brand new gear…

Movie Review – Avatar: The Way of Water
—
I’m not wowed by the movie, but I wasn’t disappointed. I can’t see the movie in 3D until Wednesday. I’ll update my review afterward to speak to the 3D quality. But based in what I saw, I’ll bet it’s pretty stunning. Pros I enjoyed the dynamic that the child characters added. Specifically, Kiri, voiced by…

Christmas Classic First Watch Review – We’re No Angels (1955)
What links Batman, James Bond, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., and Steptoe & Son? Obviously, one answer is the 1955 film We’re No Angels otherwise I’d be rambling even more than usual! There is also more than a sprinkling of whimsy and imagination but I’m guessing you’re all getting used to that by now. Incidentally, this…

Ian McKellen, Helen Mirren, Maggie Smith, Michael Caine, Anthony Hopkins, and Patrick Stewart are the leading examples of their generation. Amongst them there is one more who,…

Christmas Classic First Watch Review – Stalag 17 (1953)
—
Now, before we get too far into this, let me make one thing clear. This is, most definitely, a film set at Christmas rather than a Christmas film. However, the remit was to include every film that has a Christmas tree, Christmas card, a red nosed reindeer, or mentions Christmas. Stalag 17 is set in…

Movie Review – The Fabelmans
—
Self-indulgent, sentimental, and boring. I guess a lot of Christmas films are like that, and now we have one for Hanukkah. (I’m Jewish; please don’t send me hate mail.) The Fabelmans was presented to me as a story about Steven Spielberg, which piqued my interest. Unfortunately, this story was more about trains than adventure or…

Movie Review – Violent Night
—
Going in I wasn’t expecting much, so I can honestly say it was better than expected. But damn, this movie had the potential to be a holiday classic, up there with Die Hard, and Home Alone. Why it had so much potential An original concept is hard to come by, but this movie has it. I…
