A Christmas Carol (2020)

Bond is back, baby! (Oh yeah, and a bunch of other films, too.) One quick note, there are a couple of releases included this week that don’t street until December 28th (I’ve marked them accordingly) as there will be no new column next week. Enjoy!

…the film is also overwhelmingly depressing. A film needs a balance of highs and lows, comedy and drama, light and dark. This movie is all lows, drama and dark.

Robert Brian Wilson was a great choice for the lead, he was very handsome and wholesome looking, with a kind and welcoming smile. But once he breaks, all warmth erodes away leaving only a vacant haunting emptiness in his eyes.
DetailsSpider-Man: No Way Home
Spider-Man: No Way Home is for all Marvel fans but is especially for those who grew up with the pre-MCU Spider-Man films. This is a personal fan appreciation film from Marvel and Sony for those who have been with the Spider-Man films since the Raimi/Maguire saga.
