The Christmas Chronicles (2018), Unrated, ★★★

Do you believe in Santa Claus? Well, do you? One can answer with a succinct, confident reply. But, when one comes to increasing age and maturity, reality surround a person's conscience to negate their childhood beliefs. However, in the case of the children characters, sometimes life can bite you hard when you are creating some familial memories as a tragedy can occur in the household. But, sometimes the Christmas spirit can re-kindle your feelings and emotions to get back in the swing of things with other people and yourself. It does share that lesson in this holiday film that is full of corniness and some bad acting, but when Kurt Russell is in the spotlight, the movie becomes a treat. In Lowell, Mass., the Pierce family has been festive with their Christmas traditions but unfortunately, the paternal figure of the household, Doug (Oliver Hudson), a firefighter, died in the line of duty.

In Kiev, Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), has basically been shunned from the world after both events of the death of Apollo Creed and his defeat against Rocky Balboa in Rocky IV . But, he has another opportunity as he helps train his son, Viktor (Florian Munteanu), for multiple matches. Due to his s
