EL CAMINO CHRISTMAS- Don't go to the bathroom in this town.

-
 After seeing EL CAMINO CHRISTMAS, knowing what I do know about this fictional town and I was driving through on the way to a real and substantial destination and needed to go to the bathroom really bad, I'd either wait for a better-looking town or just go to the bathroom in my pants. That sums up what I thought of this film. Looking back, I'd rather go to the bathroom in my pants than have to watch this cliche-ridden movie again.
  There is not one original thing to be found in EL CAMINO CHRISTMAS. Not one. The town is a dirty place that no one would want to visit. It consists of a Gas Station, a Liquor Store, a bar, a hotel that is run by the Police Department, a police station and some apartments where it appears, based on this film, consists of depressed people who medicate themselves with marijuana and alcohol. Oh, and there is a little boy who won't talk. Doesn't that mean he is mute? No, the boy won't talk for some unknown reason, but I bet you that by the end of this film, he talks so much you'll want him to be quiet. It's basically a town that you would see in a PUREFLIX movie minus the depressed people self-medicating on alcohol and marijuana. I don't think a PUREFLIX movie would have an apartment complex either, for budget reasons.
 Back to the movie. It does feature a potty-mouthed Tim Allen. So if you are expecting the Tim Allen from the Santa Clause movies or his canceled political views platform of a television sitcom, you will be shocked to see what he has to say here, which by the way, will negate his Christian/Republican views. It also features Vincent D'Onofrio as a stereotypical small-town sheriff. He does his best to breathe some fresh air into his performance, but that is squashed because he is in a cliched film. No chance for originality here, Mr.D'Onofrio.
  Bottom line, EL CAMINO CHRISTMAS is not new under the sun. No, I didn't even mention the plot of this movie for the simple fact that there is barely any plot in the film, and what is there to view this(you guessed it) a cliched filled plot.
  I give EL CAMINO CHRISTMAS a D- because I somehow watched the entire thing. That right there is a Christmas miracle and might have more to do with Christmas than this film.
 One more thing, you can only watch it if you have NETFLIX.

Movie Review: DADDY'S HOME 2

   Movies like DADDY'S HOME 2 are made for two things- to entertain and to make people laugh. That is exactly what this sequel to the hit DADDY'S HOME succeeds in doing. Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg return as Brad and Dusty, co-dad's to Sara's(Linda Cardellini) two children, as well as much of the original cast. To recap the first one, Brad (Ferrell) is the step-dad to Sara's(Cardellini) two children who finds himself competing with the real Dad, Dusty(Walhberg) for the title of Dad.   With DADDY's HOME 2, we get the Grandfathers added to the mix. Mel Gibson as Dusty's Dad, Kurt and John Lithgow as Brad's Dad, Don. Gibson is stunt casting while Lithgow's performance is indicative of his award-winning career. Lithgow plays a comedic role in dramatic fashion. It could be the other way around as well. One of the things had a problem with in this movie is Gibson's performance, which I found to be a lackluster performance. It as if Gibson is just

Movie Review-DESPICABLE ME DESPICABLE ME is about a villain named Gru (voiced by Steve Carell ), who sets out to steal the moon. You might ask why he would do this. Basically for the attention from his verbally abusive mother,the world and competition from a rival villain named Vector. When Gru sees three orphan girls selling Girl Scout cookies to Vector, he devises a plan to use the girls to get closer to Vector. (Yes, I'm leaving out plot details. I'm not one to give every single detail of the movie.) What follows is something that Gru never thought would happen-letting three adorable girls into his hardened heart.                          I'll start with what I didn't like about DESPICABLE ME. The film took a little bit to get started with setting up the character and the story. It's not until half way through the movie when Gru starts to bond with the three orphan girls that the movie revealed that it has a  heart. Once this happened, the movie really
