The only Dilemma is how quickly to turn it off

I watch a LOT of films. If you know me personally or through reading this blog, you know that already. And in most cases, even if I'm really not enjoying a film, I'll watch it to the end.


So. The Dilemma. Short story: I didn't make it to the end. 


It's a comedy-drama that neither funny nor especially dramatic. My best friend's wife is cheating on him HA HA HA! It's hilarious. I've been stung by a poisonous plant, so now it's painful to pee - HAHAHAHAHA!  


I got about 40 minutes in before I had to stop. What's even worse is that it's a Ron Howard film, so he should know what he's doing. It's terribly misjudged, Winona Ryder's voice is so weird she sounds like Gizmo from Gremlins, and really you would only find this funny if you had been exposed to the Joker's laughing gas or were in the middle of a psychotic break.


Worst film of the year? Possibly.

I did warn you

So in my excitement for Christmas, which is getting increasingly closer, I've begun a gauntlet of Christmas films.

I tend to do it every year, and it usually contains (but is not limited to) Elf, Gremlins, Christmas with the Kranks, a version of A Christmas Carol and if Jane gets her way, Santa Claus: The Movie.

The whole thing culminates on Christmas Eve with Trading Places, Home Alone, Die Hard and Scrooged; with the grand finale being my all time favourite film It's a Wonderful Life on Christmas Day.

Good times.
