Wow! Now this one is a different kind of Christmas movie. It is a true story....and an extremely emotional one at that. If you are one that will cry from a movie this one will easily have the tears flowing. A very powerful movie with a strong message. It is one I definitely recommend and hope to add to my own collection as it is another one I watched on Netflix.

Bedtime Stories, a review by addicted2dvd

Bedtime Stories
Funnyman Adam Sandler stars in Walt Disney Pictures' Bedtime Stories, the magical family comedy that's packed with adventure and lots of heart. When Skeeter Bronson (Sandler) babysits his sister's (Courteney Cox) children, his imagination runs wild as he dreams up elaborate bedtime stories - always casting himself as the hero. Entranced, the children add their own ideas to these once-upon-a-time tales of heroics and chivalry. Then...magic happens. These nighttime fantasies become Skeeter's daytime realities, leading him on a real-life adventure in search of his own happy ending. Filled with colorful characters, humor and whimsy, this heartwarming comedy will enchant your entire family again and again.

Stars:
Adam Sandler
Keri Russell
Guy Pierce
Courteney Cox

My Thoughts:
The first thing I did after I watched this movie was check the reviews here because I thought I remembered someone else reviewing this movie. And I was right. Both Rich and Marie reviewed this one. I found myself siding more with Marie personally. With all due respect to Rich... who I know disliked this movie quite a bit... I must say I disagree! I found this movie to be quite a bit of fun. It felt like a good fantasy fun for the entire family mixed with a bit of Romantic Comedy. That being said I wouldn't say this is a great movie as it is a bit silly at times. But it is definitely enjoyable.I was actually a bit surprised to see Courteney Cox in this one as I never heard anything of her in it before. Though she is only in the beginning and the end of the movie as she played the mother to the kids Adam Sandler was watching. On this one I plan on eventually adding to my collection. But not one I will rush to do so with as I am sure it will be a while before I am in the mood to watch it again.

The Flash Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

Guest Stars:
Mike Genovese as Lt. Warren Garfield
Charley Lang as Ted Whitcomb
Lenny von Dohlen as Jason Brassell

My Thoughts:
This one is a good episode. But I must admit it was strange seeing him act child-like for the clone character. But it is a good entertaining episode.

My Rating:
