Selick’s film can be emotional and even scary, and it has the potential to frighten even the most impressionable people, let alone their children. However, I like to consider it a feel-good film for working parents. There’s also a trustworthy talking cat (voiced by Keith David) to make sure everything works smoothly. Christmas movie review […]
For the third weekend in a row, “Moana” reigned supreme, but it’s likely to be the last. It’s one of several November releases that has held up well, grossing $73 million in the top ten – a respectable figure for this time of year, especially without the help of a blockbuster’s opening weekend.

Phylicia Rashad, the narrator of David E. Talbert’s entertaining “Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey,” promises to reveal a “new story” to her adorable granddaughters, who are major holiday fans who are tired with the classics. While the structure of what follows is familiar enough — it wouldn’t be a holiday tale if it didn’t hinge […]
The network wouldn’t have it any other way. Hallmark Christmas movies have a reputation for being cheesy. Michelle Vicary, Crown Media’s senior vice president of programming, remarked, “I had to reassess the definition of that word.” “I don’t think it’s a negative; I think it’s the joy and positivism.” How the Network Puts the Cheese […]
