Nugget the cat returns for a holiday special filled with Christmas cheer! This time around, we decided to mix it up a bit. The special actually begins with a short intro before the title which features the preparations for a Spaghetti dinner. (if Scorsese can do it, why can’t we?) After the titles the holiday…

It’s award consideration season, so here’s my consideration. Synopsis A Christmas Carol, shaken not stirred, with a twist. Writing Like Pinocchio, A Christmas Carol has been done so many times that finding a fresh take on the story is a nearly impossible task. Writers Sean Anders (also directing) and John Morris manage to wring a…

Holiday Inn is a Christmas classic that is just about white bread as a movie can possibly be. The people, the sets, the landscape, the language and politics are all blanched, bleached and hoary white. The only thing darker than the unfettered and ubiquitous snow was the token “Mammie” (Louise Beavers) and her two little…

“Violent Night” – Stupid is as stupid does (or Hopper gets a hammer). All the information you need to decide if Violent Night is worth your money is right there in the movie poster. It’s like Sharknado. Your initial reaction is either “hell no – that sounds stupid” or “hell yeah – that sounds STOO-pid!”…

Well, he has done it again. Mr. “I’ll be making a formal complaint” about Ruthless Reviews has made yet another Christmas movie. I’m always objective, even with Steve Rudzinski’s self-serving garbage that he tries to masquerade as a movie, but let’s not kid ourselves. We all know that it will be terrible, but the only…

This will be a Christmas Movie Rant more than a movie review. Some movies don’t even deserve the title of “movie”, much less to be reviewed. The horror in this is not in the film, but the disgraceful “effort” that Jason Hull put forward in making this atrocity. According to IMDB, this putrid rendition of…

So, it begins again, the annual Ruthless parade of Christmas Movies. All of the worthwhile classics have long been watched and reviewed, so I have to sift through the scrap-heap of obscure and awful movies, and see what new Christmas movies might appear on the horizon. I am not optimistic. Saint, or Sint is a…

Unless I am struck down with a Paul to Damascus type inspiration, this will be my last Christmas movie review of the season. It is just as well because the  pickings this year are almost non-existent. I refuse to watch and review Home Sweet Home Alone, that is just not going to happen. Ditto for…

I’ve been reviewing Christmas movies for Ruthless since 2006, with just a couple of reviews at first, but then reviewing them in earnest since 2013. I knew that this day would eventually come. The well has run dry for any Christmas movie that is remotely watchable. Oh, it has been fun to mock the really…
