It’s the holiday season, so let’s look at some great Christmas movies!

And since this is a column of semi-hot takes, let’s look at the one movie that causes a debate as to whether or not it’s even a Christmas movie: Die Hard.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Yes, absolutely, it’s a Christmas movie, and let me tell you why.

During the COVID-19 quarantine, three friends and I decided to make a weekly ritual of watching critically panned movies. The only criteria being that they had to have really low Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes scores. And with that, hilarity ensued as the four of us texted each other in a group text and mocked the movies we watched together. So far, we’ve watched Blank Check, Mortal Kombat, Bloodsport, Sidekicks, No Holds Barred, The Main Event, Countdown (2016), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, Batman & Robin, You (the Netflix series), and Gotti.

Chadwick Boseman passed away after a four-year battle with colon cancer on August 28th. His passing was a shock to everyone worldwide, as well as many of his costars over the years.

Back to the Future is 35 years old, making your resident reviewer resort to new ways to seem younger than a majority of his favorite films. We all know Back to the Future and everything that comes with it; Marty, Doc, Biff, George, Lorraine, the DeLorean, Einstein, as well as Huey Lewis and the News. It’s a timeless flick… uh... pun somewhat intended.
