In this family comedy, Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the overworked businessman who promises to buy the year's hottest toy — Turbo Man — for his neglected son. Alas, the doll sold out months previously, thus sparking a frantic search that sees Arnie crossing swords with an obsessed postman (Sinbad) and a crooked Santa (James Belushi). Schwarzenegger acquits himself reasonably well in the slapstick action sequences — for once he is not indestructible — but he's a tad embarrassing during the cuddlier moments. Brian Levant's direction, meanwhile, could do with a harder edge.

TOP MOVIE !!!
Jingle All The Way is a film about Howard, a workaholic mattress manufacturer who waits to the last minute to get his son the most popular toy of the season, Turbo Man. Howard finds out that he must face many vicious last minute shoppers, like himself, in his quest to find a Turbo Man. However, nothing prepared him for the demented postal worker that he must fight, literally, at every turn when he hears of a possible Turbo Man in existence. In the meantime, his son is very disappointed because he thinks his dad is going to miss the Christmas parade. After facing many obstacles in the course of the day, Howard finally obtains the Turbo Man, however, the way he achieves it is a surprise to everyone, even to himself.

Festive film flops

Christmas is notoriously a time to churn out movies that would never normally see the light of day, but even seasonal goodwill is no excuse to watch Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. The 1964 film, which sees Saint Nick get kidnapped by Martians upset that their children have no-one to give them presents, has been voted the biggest Christmas turkey of all time in a new poll. Pia Zadora stars in the Nicholas Webster-directed film, which only ever made it to video. It tops a list, drawn up by... Read more
