Noelle (2019)
Yeah, I have a weakness for Anna Kendrick films. I might come on here and praise Joe D’Amoto and Ruggero Deodato, but put on a movie where Anna is singing or triumphing against people who think she isn’t worthwhile and I’m right there beaming. I can admit it. I’m not afraid. When Noelle Kringle (Kendrick) […]

Christmas on Mars (2008)
“Dude, ya gotta do another Christmas movie for the site,” texts the portly proprietor of B&S About Movies, not realizing the proverbial stocking of worms he’s unleashing from this writer’s fingertips. Just to be clear: I don’t do spunky elves, mystical reindeer, or magic snow globes. I go for the coal. Well, unless it’s a […]
Santa’s Summer House (2012)
What if David DeCoteau — yes, the director of A Talking Cat!?!, Prey of the Jaguar, Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama and the utterly baffling Bigfoot vs. D.B. Cooper directed a family-friendly holiday movie? Alright, I have no idea what that’d be like, but sure. Let’s do that. What if Chris Mitchum played Santa? Yes, Chris Mitchum from Aftershock, […]
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964)

I don’t like how sometimes history has a way of slandering the memory of some films, especially ones I fell in love with as a pup. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is such […]
