Viewing Notes

Everyone else can argue about whether DIE HARD is a Christmas movie. I’ll be over here watching the epitome of mid-90’s action Christmas movies! It’s easy to see Shane Black’s writing imprint on this in retrospect.

This makes me want to watch CUTTHROAT ISLAND. Please send help.

LOL! Cutthroat Island is still one I’ve never seen!

When I saw this was added to Netflix, I put it on my list for Christmas films to watch this year. Haven’t seen it since it was released but recall enjoying it a lot.

It was funnier than I remembered! As long as you don’t take it too seriously it’s a pretty fun watch. Jackson really steals the show.
