It is that time of year. The Christmas holidays. Everyone is excited about presents and celebrating the birth of the Saviour.
Then it happens... You want to watch a film with the family. How do you choose? What film is good for the kids and one that parents can enjoy, too?
Russelling Reviews has put together a list of family-friendly films that should help picking films this holiday season. These are options in theatres and on DVD. We will provide a short list of films to avoid this holiday season.
Most film titles have a link to a review that will give you details about the film and help you to discern if it is right for your family.
We will include some Christmas classics for the sake of enjoying the season and to remember the reason for the season.
