Film: The Way Back

A solid film of an extraordinary journey. This shares many similarities with Cool Hand Luke and The Great Escape. This film is packed with good actors, and I would suggest watching it.

Film: Jingle All The Way

Wow, this film surprised me. It was much better than I was expecting. I am left wondering why I didn't see this when I was growing up. This has many hints that Santa does not exist and a lot of sexual references, so keep that in mind. If you are looking for a 1990's adventure, rent it!

Film: The Holiday

I have one word for you: predictable. Was this film predictable, more than likely it was. Why don't I know, because we turned it off about 1/3 of the way through. Sorry Cameron, even the other stars could save it. Add it to your X-Mas Watch List, just don't invite me over.

Film: The Family Stone

Again, this can be added to you Holiday Watch List, but there are many that are better. I did like the actors, except Sara Jessica Parker. However, she did a fine job in this one. Watch it, you may like it.

Film: The Ice Harvest

A decent movie to add to the Holiday movie viewing list. A bit long, but it has a creative plot and story line. Would I watch it again, maybe.

Film: The Promised Land

Nice work Matt Damon. Great movie and an even better message.

Film: The Kingdom

Nice combination of mystery and action. Sure to capture everyone's attention. Jamie Foxx has a solid performance protecting America, no wonder he later became The President.
