Fatman isn’t especially memorable but I always enjoy seeing a gruff Mel Gibson and his portrayal of a grounded Santa Claus. The movie is saved thanks to an entertaining final sequence as well as Gibson and Walton Goggins.

Tintorera Blu-ray Review
Tintorera was a disappointing film, looked like it could be a cheesy B-movie Jaws rip-off and while the poor dubbing can be funny, the rest was pretty boring and a chore to sit through even with the short 87-minute running time.
