The career of one Will Smith on the heels of his greatest victory.

Matthias Schweighöfer directs a 7m movie that looks like a 35m movie that alone deserves your attention. On top of that we have a more understanding of the state of the world during a rising but later contained zombie apocalypse.

The most wonderful aspect of streaming is a film like Red Notice can drop from the sky with zero promotion and be there. The lack of expectations adds to the viewing experience.

We covered a lot of Netflix last year. And here we are.......what does the stock crash mean for the streaming service?

In a poster modern age where parents tell their kids "love what I love" we have a flick built on nostalgia and never letting go of the past, but it's a solid period piece that delivers a true heart-felt Christmas message.

A personal take on what might be the greatest Christmas movie of all time.

The Homers Odessey of teenage heartthrob Christmas movies is here. This Disney outing is not revered as a Christmas classic but it should be. What is a great vehicle for a young Johnathan Taylor Thomas who is in every type of scene drama, action, comedy, romance is a complete pro as a once the future superstar.

Jim Verney created one of the all-time comedic characters with Ernest his redneck alter ego. Ernest Saves Christmas is a mythology-building comedy that has an easy-to-follow set of rules for Santa Clause which is something few movies nail. This flick is fully recommended.

For 5m WWE has done far more with the Jingle All the Way gimmick than its 75m counterpart.

This film became a MEME and became a standard as a generation grew up loving Jingle All the Way. It was won against early criticisms but still represents the fall of 90's style blockbusters.
