Candy Cane Lane (2023)
I Wanted to Love this Eddie Murphy Christmas Movie
I was really excited for this film, but was very disappointed. The pacing is very slow and the characters are challenging to care about. I think the creators couldn't decide on the genre, which also makes it difficult to get on board with. Starts as a family movie, then we meet the conflict (the competing neighbors) who we don't like, then we like, then we don't like again, then out of absolutely nowhere there's a magical component, but it's an odd off-putting, almost negative magic. It's so unfortunate that we have great actors and really well done cinematography and an absolutely terrible script.
Egghead & Twinkie (2023)
Should be on Netflix!
I am so impressed with this film! It was well written, well acted and well shot. The animation is so fun and the editing is incredible. I am thrilled to see an independent film this impressive. The story flows well and feels very timely. I was invested in the characters and really wanted to see how things were going to play out. I loved the friendship between Egghead and Twinkie. In fact, all of the relationships were very realistic. This movie was super cute, fun the whole way through and gives the audience that heart warming feeling we need these days. I highly recommend this film. Now, go watch it! You will be glad you did.
