DVD Reivew: The Santa Clause 3-Pack

Wow. Tim Allen has no carrer right now and these films he kept going back to milk can be blamed for it. Tim was great in the first one, Ok in the second and downright abysmal in the third one. Like a ball rolling down a hill, the trilogy gets worse and worse as time goes by.

Santa Clause: The ifrst one, where a man kills Santa and must fill in for the legend. This film, along with Elf and A Christmas Story, remain among the funniest in the history of X-Mas films nad Tim actually odes well here. It makes you very sad that they milked the film afterward.

Rating: 8.5 out of 10 or A-

Santa Clause 2: Santa is fully with his job now, but he has to get a wife!! OH NO! To take his place, a toy Santa is made. But he has other plans for the North Pole...

This one is alright, but kind of pointless. Too many potty jokes ruin it...though there are some nice gags and touching moments.

Rating: 6.5 out of 10 or C+

Snata Clause 3: Santa and his wife are having a Snata Jr. soon but Jack Frost (Martin Short) dosen't helpt things by taking over Christmas.

Not even Martin Short can take this crudpile out of the sewer. This is one of the worst films of 2006 and a bad film period. Tim Allen can't act no more and there's no good gags whatsoever. What a waste of Alan Arkin.

Rating: 4.1 out of 10 or D

Muppet Christmas Comeback

If you like the Muppets, read this article. It talks about all the things the Muppets are doing recently, including a recrod-breaking viral video and a JAy Leno and Jimmy Fallon appearence.

There's also a great contest where you can create a Muppet and it'll be in a video with Kermit and Fozzie. I love the Muppets, so I'm glad they are making a comeback. I didn't know they got that honor in People magazine, but I'm glad they did.

Oh, and Muppets: Letters To Santa is on tonight. It's on NBC at 8/7:00 central. I'll be watching it and have a review up for it soon.

Blu-Ray Review: Miracle on 34th Street

Christmas brings out the best in people. Grandmothers cook more treats and people are all around more giving. The Christmas spirit isn't lost on movie directors, though. Dispite the film coming out in May 1947, this fiom is as Christmasy as they come and I enjoyed it very much, though I feel it isn't QUITE as amazing as people think.

An old man named Kris Kringle tells people he is the real deal..he is Santa Clause. He also starts to give away competiiton promotion leading to anger from Macy's, the company that he works for. Although people deem him insane, a lawayer decides to prove he's the real McCoy, despite a man named Sawyer saying Kris

This is a fine film, but I think it deserves notice for a major flaw. It really feels like what Kris has done is never dealt with. He hurts Saeyer, yes, but it's only mentioned in passing. They mainly deal with Kris think he's Santa. It feels like they just missed something good.

A few other things come in question (Is he Santa? Is he not?), but overall it's grand. There wonderful acting and it really feels like a nice Christmas tradition. With such a nice ending, I could probably watch it again without hesitation.

There may be a plto hole, but don't let that stop you from seeing Miracle. It's overall a terrific flick.

Rating: B+ or 8.1 out of 10

P.S. This is our 25th review!! Awesomenes!

Preping Up For Prep and Landing

Disney will premiere their very first Christmas special ever Tuesday on ABC! It's called Prep and Landing. It's about the elves that help Santa get ready for the year and make sure the big guy arrives perfectly. The short sounds extremely cute and I am very excited to see what will happen with it. The great Dave Foley stars, so we know laughs are bound to happen.

Plus, when I was at the mall yesterday, I saw at the Disney Store some Prep and Landing dolls modled after some of the elf characters. These look wonderful. Plus, Disney is having a sale on them, so I'd recommend getting them for some X-Mas decorations!



I am very excited for the special. It airs Tuesday at 8:30/7:30 central and after Charlie Brown Christmas. Can't wait for it.
