Watched Miracle on 34th Street recently and its basic premise is that we have no proof that god is real but we know he is... ditto for Santa!

Eldest is 9 so had plenty of questions and I think we batted them away well enough but it was annoying to have to!

Yeah Miracle on 34th street plays very close to the line. I try to avoid it in our house.
Love the home alone movies, the first Nativity movie, Polar Express, Fred Claus, The Santa Clause.
Havent watched It's a wonderful life in years but might wheel it out.

Christmas Chronicles movies on Netflix are actually good too.
There's some new christmas movie with Eddie Murphy in it on Prime, by 6 year old has watched it about 4 times but I haven't seen it myself.

Took the kids ( adult kids lol) to the Avenue the other night to watch Home Alone

Place bunged, was like a talk-a-long

Stuck home today.  Watched two really nice horror flicks. 

Anything for Jackson, like Heritage with a sense of humor, really well acted, nice little story. 8/10

Sissy. Revenge thriller. Influencer/bully from past, Aussie flick. Really good. 7/10, would be higher except for some really poor decisions from characters given what you later learn about them.

Watched Beasts of no nation the other day.... Kid soldiers, tough at times

Really enjoyed Leave the World behind, although the ending was pretty poor.

Surely this was a part 1 or something? It had a feeling of the show "Lost" about it.  Exchange the deer for a random polar bear...

Any takers for the new Godzilla? Have read good reviews.

I really enjoyed this movie and the ending doesn't the deserve the flak it's getting.

To me the story is one of how disarray unfolds, rather than how people respond to disarray and restore order. Its natural conclusion was people going into hiding.

Should we really need a completed arc, and every dot crossed, in order to enjoy a story?

The deer were explained by the way ie animals can sense danger before humans can. Instead of looking for warning signs through phones and TVs, just look around you.

If you just reinterpret the movie so that the little girl is the main protagonist, the ending is perfect.

No matter what way you interpret it, the ending was crap.

In your opinion.

Watched American Underdog on Netflix. Very good.

Nah, it was crap. The story didn't have a conclusive end.

Watched Leave the World Behind over Christmas there. Thought it was good, and the ending worked for me. If we're being critical, I'd say there was a wee bit of theme overload at times. But maybe that was deliberate. Interesting stuff.

Also watched The Creator. Topical, looked very nice, but tripped in bog-standard action movie territory too often. Forgettable enough in the end.

Watched that Old Dad's on Netflix. It's by Bill Burr, couple of funny bits but story very basic and done to death.
