This film is definitely the best modern Christmas movies that's been released. It still holds up after 15 years (and now I feel old). I re-watched this with my parents, who, had surprisingly, never seen it before? I loved that the costumes from the original stop-motion Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer were used. It'd definitely innocent, family fun that's still enjoyable to watch as an adult.

Original and still the best

As good as Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy was, this is still my favourite and Keaton is still the best Dark Knight. Dark and broody and with eyebrows made for the role, Keaton delivers as both Batman and Bruce Wayne while Jack Nicholson hits the perfect balance of menace and camp with his Joker. Ps -Great soundtrack too
PPS - the Batmobile has never looked so cool

I find the show extraordinarily original. The storyline is suspenseful and keeps you on your toes. The acting is superb, especially for the number of young children staring in it. I've always been a pretty big fan of the horror genre and find that each episode, especially getting into season 2, got more and more terrifying and violent. I can't wait to see where the show goes next.

Edited on 07/01/19: The graphic novel sticks pretty close to the source material, too!!

<original review>

One of the best books I've (re)read in a long time, "Storm Front" introduces us to the world of Harry Dresden, paranormal investigator for hire.

Superb entry in a new series by (to me) a new author: I think I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for future entries!

Remains one of my favorite movies in any genre.
No, I didn't watch the ridiculous TV reboot or the short-lived Broadway show, nor will I. The original holds up just fine with its commentary on society and political correctness. Christian Slater does some of his best work, and Winona Ryder can do no wrong. Plus, baby Shannen Doherty! (she's just 17 here!)

An absolute classic in my book.

As good as the original

I had reservations when going to watch this as Blumhouses output has been patchy so far; also I love the black and white Claude Raines version as well.
No worries needed. The story is gripping m, brilliantly told from another angle and all those lingering camera shots of nothing (!?!) are so well done. Finally Elizabeth Moss was outstanding.
Nuff said, go watch
