License to Kill
Our Bond series continues with License to Kill, one of Timothy Dalton’s two entries. He’s a polarizing 007, for sure. Count me as one of his defenders. I like the dark edginess he brings to the role. Additionally, this film has killer action scenes,

Saving Christmas
Saving Christmas is a "Christmas movie" that belongs on Halloween. The writing, directing, acting, and music are ghoulish. On top of all that, Kirk Cameron's ugly, insular view of the world elevates this bomb to a whole new level of badness.
