Watched a few things on my vacation this week:
KrampusPretty fun horror comedy, with some great gags and cool monsters. I think it should have ended maybe a little earlier, though.
X-Men: ApocalypseThis was a thoroughly "okay" movie. It tries to be a sprawling, ensemble piece disaster film, and the various elements work okay by themselves, but don't really gel into a cohesive whole very well. Oscar Isaac was pretty pimp as Apocalypse, though, even if his character didn't make much sense. Like, if he's so powerful, why didn't he just do everything himself? He really didn't need three of the four horsemen. Speaking of which, they pretty much all sucked bar Magneto. Storm was okay, but Angel and Psylocke were pretty awful pointless. I never thought I'd say this, but f**king Cyclops was one of my favorite parts of the movie.
The Alamo (2004)
This is another film that just doesn't gel. Billy Bob Thornton was excellent, but the other actors were either unconvincing or stuck with underdeveloped roles. Jason Patric seemed to be doing a bizarre Michael Rooker impersonation, and Dennis Quaid's accent sounded like he just got drunk and carried on from there.
