Movies

7. Happiest Season (December 6) -- 3 stars

Enjoyed it but I think it would have benefited from building more Harper POV from the beginning because I spent most of the movie rooting for Abby to dump her and possibly date Riley. Costume designer did a great job, all of Kristen Stewart's outfits were on point. 3 stars

8. The Nightmare Before Christmas (December 23) -- 3 stars

This was fun! Nice soundtrack. :D 3 stars

9. Soul (December 31) -- 4 stars

Yet again Disney has failed the Have A Animated Black Lead That Gets To Stay Human Challenge.

(It was good and I really enjoyed it! But still)

4 stars
