Poppycock and/or Balderdash


My husband and I both love Kurt Russell, and most of the movies he stars in. 
As soon as Bob drove out of the garage, I took control of the 65-inch TV Remote and flipped to Netflix to see what I could watch that Bob would never watch. Usually a chick flick or a Hallmark.
the first thing up was

The Christmas Chronicles
2018 · 1hr 44min · Adventure/Comedy
Two siblings in Lowell, Massachusetts, Kate and a blackmailed, skeptical Teddy, lay a trap for Santa Christmas Eve to get him on video camera. 

I saw the below photo and thought this is probably Poppycock, but I do like Kurt.
How bad could it be?

 

The kids crashed his slay, the reindeer ran away, they stole a red Dodge Charger.



I love a good chase scene; this was a good one. Involving the brother and sister riding on the reindeer and flying up over the cop cars. woo hoo


I kept thinking turn it off, this is balderdash... Sheer Nonsense, but I kept watching because the photography, the clothing, the actors, and the girl riding on Comet's back, falling off and down the toy bag hole.


I nearly turned it off when the first of the elves showed up


I was happy I made it to the end. I would have missed Kurt/Santa turning to stardust and POUF!



It was FUN and I got up close and personal with Saint Nicolas/Kurt Russell
Have you seen this movie? Will you watch it?
Do you have a favorite Kurt Russell movie? Bob's is Captain Ron. Of course, that is one I had to force myself to watch with him. He could not be forced to watch Christmas Chronicles.
I loved a lot of them, but Tombstone is my favorite and we have watched it several times over the years.
