OK, so Santa Clause 3 isn’t the stuff classic Christmas movies are made of, but the franchise still manages to keep us warm and toasty, invoking some genuine Yuletide spirit. Hard to believe, but it’s true.

It’s hard to knock something as inspiring as a true story about a local guy, with no football experience, trying out for his home pro team and making the cut. But Invincible does nothing to improve on the already very tired sports underdog theme.

It’s really unnerving to have to sit through a second Garfield when the first was just so excruciating. But alas, here we are again--and now there’s two of them. Joy.

X-Men: The Last Stand falls somewhere between the plodding exposition of the first X-Men and the compelling, character-driven X2. In other words, its action-packed but lacks that certain mutant angst.

In a cross between Finding Nemo and Madagascar, with a little Lion King thrown in for good measure, Disney’s The Wild is just plain old tired derivativeness. Maybe we should chalk this one up to bad timing.
