A musical about love done by none other than George Lucas... seriously! Check it out Original Review: Love, one of the most powerful things that exist.

Dear Santa, just a simple address on a letter... Or at least that's what intended. The movie proves to be anything but... Blurb: When a young man finds himself in a difficult situation, he turns to the only person he can think of. Only, it's not quite that simple. Liam has a learning difficulty and has issues with spelling from time to time. So... his letter doesn't end up where he intended. That doesn't mean the plea went unheard, it just meant the one responding wouldn't be

12 Days of Christmas (Day 8) Original Review: Christmas, it's a holiday that many celebrate around the world. Some call it a pagan holiday, some have no interest at all, some think it's overly commercialized and some love every part of it. What category (s) do you fit in? Kirk Cameron went above and beyond in this film. He addresses all of the above issues with his Brother-In-Law during a Christmas party. His BIL is fed up with everything Christmas.

12 Days of Christmas (Day 7) Original Review: This is the original Miracle on 34th Street, the story that proved to us in a court of law that Santa Claus really does exist. Santa Claus is a fairytale or so we are told when we reach a certain age. But what if we’re really just misinformed? Sure there are fake Santa’s all around but what if one of them who calls himself Kris Kringle is actually him? Kris Kringle ends up on Santa’s sleigh at the Macy’s Department store Thanksgiving

2024/12/16

12 Days of Christmas (Day 3) Original Review: The classic Dr. Seuss story of How the Grinch Stole Christmas has been reimagined. This live-action adaptation of the classic features some names that are familiar and others that are new to the scene. Although it stays true to the basic story, there are some additions that add to the whole but with it, it loses a little bit of the Seuss magic. The final result is definitely Seussical with a little bit of Tim Burton inspiration mixed

The Grinch hated Christmas, he hated it so. What he hadn't thought of though were the people below.

The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017)

Movie Deputy REVIEWS ·

2024/12/14

12 Days of Christmas (Day 1) Original Review: Christmastime is a time filled with magic and joy. A time that we all find the magic within ourselves and others. How did that begin? Was it the birth of a king? Was it a pagan ritual? Or, was it something else entirely? This dares to explore the mind of Charles Dickens. You may be thinking, whoa... wait... but stay with me, it'll all make sense soon. Charles Dickens was/is a well-known author. His stories inspired many all over the
