Read more: A Very Murray Christmas: (2015) NetflixI never have been a huge fan of Bill Murray, but it cannot be denied that he was great in some of the SNL skits and movies like Caddyshack and Ghostbusters. His role in Lost in Translation brought almost universal acclaim. I was disappointed in the Christmas Movie Scrooged, but nothing prepared me for the…

Read more: Christmas Slay (2015)I am slogging through my annual gulag of Christmas Movies, fresh off of reviewing a delightfully silly Slay Belles. We now are faced with yet another “Slay” word play Christmas film. In addition to Slay Belles, we have had the quite watchable Teresa Spoon favorite, Santa’s Slay.

Read more: The Elf (2017)I am not going to mince words or waste much time with this review. We had Will Ferrel’s stinker Elf, Dan Haggarty’s debacle, Elves, and now we have The Elf (or Elf on a Shelf). This film is probably the most senseless, boring and unnecessary Christmas/Horror movie ever made. The actors behave like they hated…

I’m usually exhausted before Dec. 15 and have completed my annual obsession with my beloved Christmas Movies.

Read more: The Peanut Butter FalconFirst, I would like to offer a sincere apology to Matt Cale for suggesting that he watch this movie, much less like it. In fact, if I ever had any reason to Clockwork Orange Matt Cale, this would be the movie. However, movie critics are tripping all over each other to gush over this derivative…

Another featured movie caught my eye, Jojo Rabbit, a film about some dumb little Nazi Youth Kid and a goofy-looking Hitler. “No way!” I thought, but then I noticed Sam Rockwell and…
