I might catch heat for this, but:
"The Christmas Shoes"
I know the movie's heart was in the right place, a quasi religious tale about a boy who buys a new pair of shoes for his terminally ill mother, but it was just so tragic in a sense that it was almost hokey, and I seriously never want to watch it again. Was it sad, yeah. Did it tug at the heart strings? Yeah. But it seemed to do that just for the sake of doing that.
That horrible country song they played in the middle of it didn't help it's case any.
I should like this movie since cancer is well, kind of a big deal in my family, but, maaan...

I like Jingle all the way... I kinda do too in a perverse way, but it was bad I thought it was great. It's an Arnold Christmas movie, whats not to love?

A Christmas Story. *dodges flying tomatoes, and whatever else in the room hasn't been bolted down* Sorry. It's a decent flick, but copious amounts of overexposure have soured it forever. I agree. At least IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE is a certified classic. A CHRISTMAS STORY is just a good movie. It'd be like playing BACK TO THE FUTURE for 24 hours, while every other station is playing INDIANA JONES AND THE LOST ARC.

I love Jingle All the Way but it has such a bad message. It is pretty much saying if you don't get exactly what you want for christmas then it is ruined.

But the mom makes it seem like he will ruin Christmas if he doesn't get the greedy little bastard some action figure.

Because he promised it to him and Ahnold's been breaking his trust throughout the movie.

Some other Holiday turds: Deck the Halls The Santa Clause (all of them) I know I'm in the minority here, but I hated Elf. Ugh. Me, too. Mine isn't a theatrical release, but a TV movie: A Carol Christmas with Torrie Spelling. I'm all about A Christmas Carole, so I was kinda peeking at this one to see what was what, but P. Freakin' U. it stunk. And the tip-off was Torrie Spelling. I should've known WAY better. But I've seen modernized versions that weren't a bucket full of crap.

I was at my Uncles house and since he's getting old he has started to watch Hallmark channel. He completely skipped the History Channel and TMC. But anyway, he was watching A BOYFRIEND FOR CHRISTMAS and that was terrible. I had to laugh when the main character said, "BUT PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE AT STAKE!" and the EEEEEEVIILL corporate suit's reply was, "But it's just business." Just terribly done. A CAROL CHRISTMAS was up next but luckily he spared me that torment and went to bed.

Jack Frost 2
It's about a snowman that kills people on a tropical island, the first one is decent as a campy horror flick but 2 was just atrocious

It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I don't get it.
How does it work?

It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I don't get it. How does it work? In the first movie he was killed with anti-freeze and they put the remains (the anti-freeze) into containers and buries it, but the government tried to ressurect him but couldn't do it.....until a cleaner knocks tea into the anti-freeze remains, which ressurects him. I think because the anti-freeze got some guys blood into it (First flick) he's immune to hot weather and only has a weakness to bananas , I'm not joking. He starts killing people off and summons little snowball monsters. It's awful, but the first is a good flick
