    The Six Triple Eight

    I enjoyed this movie, though I would have liked to see more of how the Six Triple Eight actually managed to pull off their remarkable achievement. The actual footage at the end was great.

  • Hanukkah on the Rocks

    Hanukkah on the Rocks

    Ok, this is a Hanukkah movie that doesn't have Christmas in it (unlike the last Hanukkah movie I watched, ahem), so for that reason, it deserves kudos. Was there a competition to fit in as many yiddish words as possible, though, as if to prove that this IS a Jewish movie? And I'm sorry, but there just happens to be Manischevitz at the bar?

    Leah's Perfect Gift

    Look, I'll give Hallmark props for a) having a "Hanukkah" movie and b) a gay character. But this is barely a Hanukkah movie! Leah is so excited to go to her boyfriend's parents' house for her first Christmas, a holiday she loves. She feels like she's doing everything wrong and doesn't fit in with his family. Blah blah blah. It's a Christmas movie disguised as a "Hanukkah" movie!

  • Schindler's List

    Schindler's List

    When I saw this movie with my then boyfriend, I had never seen him cry. I told myself if this movie didn't make him cry, we'd have a serious issue. Thankfully, he isn't made of stone, and I later married him.
