Elf (2003) – Christmas Movie Review – Available on Amazon

Unaccompanied Minors (2006) – Lewis Black CHRISTMAS XMAS HOLIDAY MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee The impact of HOME ALONE was incredible. It began a trend of children taken on bumbling adults and coming out victorious. It’s a great formula for a film where both children to young teens and adults can enjoy. In the 2006 “UNACCOMPANIED MINORS,” we have a HOME […]
Christmas with a Capital C (2011) – Ted McGinley, Brad Stine, Daniel Baldwin PUREFLIX Xmas Holiday Movie Review
By Geno McGahee You can’t go wrong with Ted McGinley. For years, he played “Jefferson” on one of the best comedic sitcoms ever: MARRIED WITH CHILDREN. I’m happy to see that he is still acting and has been showing up in a few films. In the 2011 Pureflix film “CHRISTMAS […]
The Secret Village (2013) – Horror Film Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza This is one of those times, I hadn’t heard of the film prior to watching it. I love movies about cults so this seemed right up my alley. I watched the trailer and recognized some of the actors. The movie was shot in MA […]
Christmas in Wonderland (2007) – Home Alone, Patrick Swayze, Chris Kattan, Carmen Electra Xmas Holiday MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee In 1990, the game changed. HOME ALONE was a huge Christmas hit and started a trend. The idea of smart kids against stupid adults was a fun storyline and it is still being used to this day. Make no mistake, these sorts of films are an example […]

Wish for Christmas (2016) – Joey Lawrence – Christian Pureflix XMAS HOLIDAY MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee During the Xmas season, there are plenty of Christian-themed holiday movies. I guess it could be argued that all of them are Christian-based, but there are those that focus on the feeling of the holiday and those that focus on the religious side of it. WISH FOR […]
Mister Sam Shearon’s CREEPY CHRISTMAS – A Merry Macabre Coloring Book – Review
By Geno McGahee It is Christmas time and the adult coloring books have become a hot item. Everywhere you go, you stumble across a section where they have these coloring books geared for grownups. I’m a grownup and I agree that coloring is for all ages. Of course, as a […]
TABLOID (2010) – Documentary on Netflix – Woman Accused of Raping Mormon?
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Prior to this documentary, I had never heard of Joyce McKinney. I was born in 1979 so I hadn’t even been born when the case broke. I am surprised this is the first I’m hearing of her and the insane events that surrounded Miss McKinney’s […]
Trolls (2016) DreamWorks Family Film Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I didn’t expect to like the movie TROLLS (2016). I knew very little about it. I didn’t even know who released it. If my niece didn’t ask me to go see it, I probably would’ve never watched the film. That said, I’m glad she wanted to […]
