Every Christmas Has a Story (2016)
Harassment for the holidays
The action that sets this movie going is this: A woman politely turns down a gift from a man. He continues to harass her for several minutes as she keeps politely deflecting him. He then gets so far into her personal space that when she turns around, he gets knocked over. Somehow, no one has a problem with the harassment. In fact, the woman is considered a bad person because the man lives Christmas, and she prefers not to celebrate it. Her boss even has a staff meeting where, in front of co-workers, she also acts like politely preferring not to celebrate means the woman is bad. No one even thinks to defend the woman and say, "The man was harassing her-- shouldn't we do something about that?" How is this a feel-good movie? The woman has to spend the rest of the plot atoning for being harassed?
Batman Beyond (1999)
Enjoyable Batman cartoon
I really liked this series, although I do wish they had tied in a bit more of the old Batman mystique. The series can and does stand, though. There did seem to be a "villain of the week" quality to it, but Terry was a fun addition to the Batman lore. Try it, you'll like it.
