The Natchez is the pride of the Mississippi River and is as beautiful as any of her namesakes. Many of her crew have been with her since her maiden voyage. The calliope trills a melody into the air while the great wheel, 25 tons of white oak, churns the heavy waters of the Mississippi. You soon find yourself slipping into a sense of the old, vast and timeless river. |

 "Four Christmases"
Directed by Seth Gordon, Written by Matt Allen & Caleb Wilson and Jon Lucas & Scott Moore
Stars: Vince Vaughn, Reese Witherspoon, Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, Mary Steenburgen, Jon Voight, and Jon Favreau
Rated PG-13 for some sexual humor and language. 92 minutes.
 
“Four Christmases” is a first in many categories, none of them good. It’s the first film I’ve seen that wastes the talents of no less than 5 (count ‘em) Oscar-winning actors (Duvall, Spacek, Steenburgen, Voight and star Witherspoon). It’s also the first film that has a running time of 82 minutes that still feels padded. And finally, it’s the first film I’ve seen that makes likable Vince Vaughn unlikable and lovable Reese Witherspoon unlovable. (More) |
