The Santa Clause 2 (2002)

 

Not nearly as entertaining as the first, but not all bad either. Most of the scenes in the North Pole are fairly weak. The entire clone Santa subplot was lame. However, the scenes in the real world were oftentimes funny and well written. Loved Molly Shannon's bit part. 

Rating: C-

The Purge: Election Year (2016)

A more compelling story than the first two films, with a few returning characters. Still a lot of senseless violence around a premise--the purge--that doesn’t make a whole lot of logical sense. Of course, I choose to watch anyway.
