Movie Review

Grade: C- To kick things off, this review isn't about how children will like "The Polar Express." Sure, while adults may find it simple, boring and downright creepy, some children will find "The Polar Express" entertaining, or at least awe-inspiring, as a magical train journeys into the north pole. Unfortunately, I am not a child, and you probably aren't either - let's just say that after watching "The Polar Express" you'll want to stick in a copy of "Christmas Vacation" just to get your brain functioning again.
