I just put up a new feature for the holiday season – a day-by-day Christmas countdown with the aid of Playmobil’s toy advent calendar. I was doing some gift shopping this past weekend, at Toys R’Us, and I couldn’t pass this up. Each day, a new toy is pulled of the calendar, and a new mini-review goes up on the countdown page. So far, we’ve got two lambs and fence. I honestly have no idea what’s in the other boxes – I made the woman put the thing together because there were 40,000 pieces of cardboard and I couldn’t be bothered. Of course, my official excuse to her was that ‘the reviews needed the element of surprise.’ Sucker.

Also up today, a pretty rushed review of Child’s Play 2, one of my favorite horror movies ever. Actually, it’s one of my favorite movies period, which doesn’t say too much for my taste. Then again, Santa Clause 2 is burning up the charts so none of you people have taste either. Shame on us all.
