Maybe it's just been a while since I've played a handheld gaming console, but this game is incredibly hard to control. I crash the wagon all of the time. I do wish it was just more like the original, or at least the more modern computer version.
I haven't beaten it yet, I always die of dysentery before I get there.

Bill Murray is always watchable and he seems to have been given free reign here as scrooge in this modern comedic Richard Donner retelling, not only is it laugh out loud, and considerably violent in parts, it never loses its heart and message of redemption, not for everyone I would guess, however, one I very much enjoy as a guilty pleasure.

Brillaint Slapstick Comic Horror
Enjoyable and silly, and by todays standards incredibly un-horrific.
Price sending up his entire oeuvre is arguably even better than when he is playing it straight.
Notable for raspberry jam, dodgy effects and a very, veeeery young Jack Nicholson.
Maybe a bit dated for modern tastes, but I love it and so did my kids 😊

A missing girl in the modern day dovetails with Evan finding the skeleton of a girl who went missing 25 years ago. Are the two connected? We're back to the charm and intrigue of the series now in another strong book.

An amazingly charming Christmas story with lots of childlike wonder.
The over the top charm is part of what makes this movie for me. You gotta buy in and not be a humbug. Probably one of the top 5 modern Christmas classics. if you've not seen it yet, you should. plus an alternate movie poster.

A decent little modern slasher film. It has plenty of gore and a few grisly kills. It has a strong start but it felt rushed towards the last 15mins which was a bit of a let down. It's very short at just 80mins in total. Good for a short fix for Slasher fans but we still want better than this.
