In case you haven’t seen the intro from my entry dated
1/26/19 (it’s in my archives whenever you want to read it), I’m no longer going
to review every single movie I see. I’m
going to review one, with the occasional bonus, and just give ratings for the
rest from now on (unless I decide to pick it up again in the future). You can always ask me why I gave the ratings
for the films without reviews though (via comments or the e-mail addresses
under the ‘About Me’ section).

Fatman OK
Mel Gibson as Santa Claus?
It’s not quite like a Santa Claus you would expect though. For starters, he lives in a town called North
Peak (not Pole), works with the military, and can’t afford to pay his power
bill. A hitman, played by Walton Goggins
(Vice Principals), is hired by a
spoiled rich kid to take the “fat man” out.
The film did start off a bit promising, but it doesn’t really entail
much and doesn’t altogether feel like a “holiday” film even though it is. 12/13/2020
Bonus reviews:
Max Winslow and the
House of Secrets OK/G
Five teenagers from a high school in Arkansas are chosen to
play a game in a “futuristic” mansion and the winner gets the mansion. It may sound a bit like Willy Wonka/Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but not quite. The house does have a mind of its own, not in
the haunted sense, but in the technological/I-control-everything sense. The five players must overcome certain
“obstacles” in regards to why they were all chosen in the first place. It may have been a bit of fun, but it
could’ve gone to darker places than it did (although it is only rated-PG), and,
ultimately, it ended a bit too sappily (meaning positively and/or clichéd) for
my tastes; of course taste is subjective and mine differ from many others
though. 12/13/2020
Bobbleheads: The Movie OK

Not quite Toy Story.
Obviously wants to be.
