Christmas Terror Two: Fatman (***) and Krampus (***)
Two films for those who need horrid stories for Christmas.
-
Encounter (***1/2) family past the breaking point
If you’re a fan of Ahmed, give this a spin. It’s not unusual to see him play a significantly challenged individual. We’ve never seen him play a father. He does both well until the story runs out of steam and decides it’s going to go the route of Smokey and the Bandit II.
-
Belfast (****) Move myself and my family aside…
This is a brief tale that lacks any amount of pretension that might be present in a longer film.

-
King Richard (***1/2) is a story we need
The most complex parent gets the title of the film, if only because we know, eventually the daughters will get all of the glory. Talk about inspiration. Talk about greatness. Talk about The Williams Sisters.
-
Ghostbusters Afterlife (*****) never leaves
Great is still great, no matter the age.
-
Wrath of Man (**) is not clever
Unlike Bronson, Statham has skills beyond the action realm. The Bank Job, is proof of that concept. This is not beyond that realm.

The Harder They Fall (*****) Welcome to the Majors
This is Majors’ film, through and through. It’s his arrival on the big stage, and he does not waste the opportunity.
-
Eternals (***1/2) the biggest can of worms (no spoilers)
The questions heading into the film are numerous. Some are answered: even more arise in their wake.
