On with another Xmas film your family should hate you for this holiday, the subject of a Splice Live Tweet-a-thon or whatever, Hulk Hogan's Santa With Muscles:
If you're of a certain vintage the Hulkster will be something of a hero to you. On the wrestling he used to bash the bad guys and go mental in interviews so as a kid you loved him. And as such you then dragged your parents to see movies starring him. That meant those poor sods sitting through Suburban Commando and Mr. Nanny. They'd be thankful then that the third of this unholy triumvirate, Santa With Muscles, never made it to these shores.
But what about now? I have to admit to slightly enjoying watching this, but it seems that was a result of the nostalgia it thrust into my mind area rather than any quality on show. It reminded me of those trips to the pictures when I was a wee kid.
Sadly your parents may react the same way. Where you're looking for them to run screaming in horror at the idea of another Hulk kids movie they may get all fuzzy remembering you as a wee tubby munchkin spilling your popcorn and getting your face covered in ice cream.
The kids'll hate it though. Because kids just aren't that stupid. And by stupid I mean they're not old enough to wallow in nostalgia yet.
