Afternoon at the Movies
Well, the holiday business is upon us. I am looking toward spending hours daily driving my Christmas kettles around, late nights, early mornings, but all of this comes with the necessity of working to raise the dollars needed to fund our programs. We stand to have a record year here in Norwich, and the hard work will be worth it. Due to the so called, "calm before the storm" we decided to go to the movies as a family this afternoon and go see The Santa Clause 3---The Escape Clause.
This movie must either be in an extremely limited release or perhaps an early release as the main cineplex that we usually go to, one that has 12 theatres did not have this movie playing. We drove 20 miles away to Colchester and caught it at a smaller theatre.
The movie was basically killed by the critics. I wasn't expecting a whole lot. I was surprised though however as the movie was a decent family movie. Martin Short was good as Jack Frost. All of the original cast from the previous two movies were also there. For you Star Trek TNG fans out there, Michael Dorn, aka Lt. Commander Worf, played the Sandman .
If you have seen and enjoyed the previous sequel, you will probably enjoy this movie. If you have small children that are easily impressed and aren't interested in quality movies, they will like this movie. It will not win any oscars, but the movie was fun and the family time together was even better.
We picked up some Chinese food and returned home this evening. As the busyness of the season begins on Friday, it was a nice time to enjoy together with no stresses and no work to think about. The only work in the outing was dropping our big van off for service tomorrow. I have to get it ready to be on the road for 14 hours a day for 37 days!

We've enoyed the Santa Claus movie series. Nothing deep or glitzy about them, but they are nice for unwinding with some good, clean fun. Nice family fare for the youngsters, which is sometimes hard to come by .
I have not had muchof an interest in seeing this one. Yet, as long as the kids enjoy it, how the parents feel about it does not matter.
