What has 3 Taylors, none of which are related? My all-time fav band, of course! The girlfriend 🎁ed me my first-ever @originalfunko set for Christmas - DURAN DURAN in 1984 "Wild Boys" attire! My telephone be ringing while I'm dancing in the rain. ❤️

One last Christmas-related post: Did you know Hanna-Barbera released a series of animated Bible stories? From 1985-1992, 13 episodes of THE GREATEST ADVENTURE: STORIES FROM THE BIBLE were released, but not on TV; these were direct-to-VHS releases. Only 5 have since been released on DVD, with 4 on this compilation from @warnerbrosentertainment. "Noah's Ark" is familar fun, & the "David & Goliath" episode is an exciting, violent He-Man-like action-adventure!

So ends my trip through modern cable TV Christmas films....for now. CHRISTMAS IN WOLF CREEK (2022) brings back the cast from LOVE IN WOLF CREEK for more adventure, romance, & ticking clocks. Check it out on disc from @millcreekent, @imagicomm, @up_tv & @insp_tv. My full review at MoviesandDrinks.com (link in bio).

In this holiday film, some bad people do bad things in 2020's A RING FOR CHRISTMAS, and we can't even blame them! Released on disc from @millcreekent & reviewed (by me!) at MoviesandDrinks.com (link in bio).

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER rode those SCREAM coattails to 3 consecutive No. 1 weeks at the box office in 1997. A more traditional, throwback slasher compared to SCREAM, despite both being written by Kevin Williamson. Had been a long time since I watched it, this time via a 3-movie compilation Blu-ray from @millcreekent called Queen's of Scream (I just recently gave away my old VHS copy).

Imagine you've bought a cottage, then learned that someone else has bought it, too. And then you learn that the first person who leaves the property...loses it! Can this strange set of circumstances bring two enemies together at Christmastime? That's the question CHRISTMAS IN THE PINES looks to answer. This 2021 film is on disc from @imagicomm, @insp_tv & @millcreekent. My full review at MoviesandDrinks.com (link in bio).

My holiday marathon continues courtesy @imagicomm, @insp_tv & @millcreekent with 2021's CHRISTMAS IN THE WILDS, a sequel to the earlier ROMANCE IN THE WILDS adventure film. Find my full review at MoviesandDrinks.com (a clickable link is up there in the Bio section).

Did you know that Jordan Belfort produced a Hulk Hogan movie in the mid-90s? It's one of many things he did during the years depicted in THE WOLF OF WALL STREET (2013) before it all came crashing down. DiCaprio's in fine form & Margot is fine(!) in Scorsese's true-life party film.

What if '60s Bond was captured, imprisoned, then asked by the US government to infiltrate Alcatraz? That's how I watched THE ROCK when it came out back in 1996, & it's still fun watching Connery & Cage today, along with Ed Harris, perfect as a militia leader. It was only Michael Bay's second film, but he was firing on all cylinders - BAD BOYS came before (his first), & ARMAGEDDON followed.

Is it a true story? 2019's ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD makes you wish it was - especially it's wild ending. I bet Leo & Brad wish they lived & worked in that era (& Quentin, too).

Things aren't always as they seem when visiting THE CABIN IN THE WINDS (2011), Drew Goddard's wild horror send-up starring Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, & Fran Kranz. Written by Joss Whedon, it has those evil-government HUNGER GAMES vibes.

ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES 🍅🍅 (1978) was on cable TV all the time back in the '80s, & I enjoyed its silliness as a kid. I'm not sure why, but today I find it funnier than ever! Maybe the so-called "dated" aspects are "in" again. A great presentation from @mvdentertainmentgroup for their 2nd Rewind Collection Blu-ray release.
