Well, it’s this time of year and even though snow is scarce in this region of mine, I don’t give up hope for a white christmas. And to get into christmas spirit without the winter wonderland around me, there are a couple of movies I like to watch in this season because they capture the spirit and make me feel all warm and fuzzy.
The “Santa Clause” Trilogy
Those are for fun. The concept is fresh and the way the stories develop is surprising enough to be entertaining. It might not be …

By pure accident I discovered yesterday that the current Indy movie would be playing in OV (original version, meaning in English) at my local movie theatre. My brain just took control of the my hands and purchased tickets online.
