christmas… Movie #346 2020: Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey (2020) 11 Dec 202029 Dec 2020 Another day, another Netflix original movie. Amirite? The speed at which they churn these things out is actually insane, but we all know that sometimes their pace means they skimp…
christmas… Movie #339 2020: Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square (2020) 4 Dec 20201 Dec 2020 Oy vey. I had high hopes for this, especially considering that Dolly Parton just saved all of humanity. Darn, what a disappointment. Christine Baranski stars as the cold-as-ice Regina; a…

Animation… Movie #242 2020: Frozen II (2019) 6 Aug 202030 Jul 2020 Onto a sequel that people (many of them small people) actually wanted now... Frozen II is pretty self explanatory to be honest. I mean, at this point, who hasn't seen…
Comedy… Movie #241 2020: Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) 3 Aug 202027 Jul 2020 The thing about sequels is that they're rarely necessary (the obvious aside, e.g. The Godfather 2.) Saying that, even some of the unnecessary ones are brilliant (e.g. Toy Story 2.)…
