Better late than never. I wrote these last month, but illness and the holidays took a huge toll on my productivity. But I’m back on my feet and tackling the Holidays and the DC Extended Universe.

I’ll Be Next Door For Christmas

Due to holiday stuff and a very nasty illness, I once again turn to Netflix to compensate for not being able to leave the house. Hopefully I’ll be able to leave me bed soon because there are a lot of theater releases I know you want to hear my thoughts on. In the meantime, check out what I just watched.

The Holidays are the time of year where you’re expected to huddle around the fireplace with loved ones and enjoy yourselves. Unfortunately, here in California, the fire is currently outside the house and making the air massively unhealthy to be in. So I figured I’d stay indoors and turn to Netflix. Here is the result.

The Holiday Calendar

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation was quite the riot and living proof that slapstick can be great comedy. It’s funny that a movie about such a complete asshole can be so charming, but Chevy Chase pulls it off with amazing comic timing and a great script. The humor is very audacious, but not in the intense gross-out way that a lot of comedic flops nowadays tend to go. The situation will also ring a cord to people who have huge family gatherings and have to watch as the different personalities, be they overbearing, abrasive, or downright senile, bound off of each other. It’s not exactly a traditional Christmas classic in the same way as It’s A Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol, but it’s definitely a Christmas classic I missed out on in my youth and one I’ll be happy to revisit in the Christmases yet to come.
