Grade: A- The 2nd of 2 Christmas movies we watch each year. This very much hits the style of humor I tend to like in a movie. More than that though the story of the difficulties of keeping even the closest of friendships as everyone comes into adulthood resonates more than it does with most movies.

Grade: B- This is one I haven't seen since around the time it came out in 2003. It's a fun premise and a good execution, but it doesn't really hit as much for me as it seems to do for others. It probably says a lot that my two favorite Christmas movies are R-rated.

Grade: A- I'm not big into Christmas movies (or the holiday in general), but this is one of two movies we watch every year. It's the third movie in the series but it totally stands on its own and is definitely the best. There's so many classic bits and jokes and is always a fun watch.

Grade: C+ This was entertaining enough. The plot is intriguing but it quickly gets convoluted, with no shortage of ridiculous handwave-y moments. Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman (along with a decent supporting case) are really what make this movie work, making for great adversaries.

I'd call this a successful year, and I plan on growing the stream even more in the near future!
