To the Deeper Thoughts!
So, one of the fine podcasts I listen to Atomic Trivia War 9000, has several fine hosts. Two of them +Jason Hawk and +Kevin Archibald along with +Ro Karen of Starbase 66 suggested that I watch this film as they felt it was required viewing.
So I viewed it.
While it was not quite the greatest Christmas movie ever (that honor goes to Die Hard), it was definitely entertaining. One trouble I had was I kept trying to insert quotes from the greatest Kurt Russell movie ever. (Hint: Tombstone). Distracting, but not nearly as much as seeing Kim Catrall play a lawer named Gracie Law. A lawyer, with the last name of Law. The facepalms were loud.
All kidding aside, I liked this movie. It was a bit of 80s cheese. Not too sharp, or not too soft, but aged just right. Quite possibly something I will add to my collection one day.
