6:35am – “Babes In Toyland” – Jeff seemed to doubt we’d be awake now, but here BLW & I are watching those lovable “Babes” in Cincinnati. “Stop the world – I want to get on” Advice from the TV weatherman is to “just stay home” – and watch Keanu? Feel like Bert could really use that invisible power power at times during this movie. Have read people loathe the “Cincinnati” song, but I (for one) am encahanted by it. Plus, you just don’t see a lot of people singing DURING a “car accident” in which someone (Drew) falls out of the car, only to slide down the hill in a sled… then falls into a cake… from the sky. If only we could buy the soundtrack.

6:52 – Odd.

7:02 – Barnaby’s costume kind of seems Lemony Snicketish – could this movie be called “an unfortunate event?” Regardless of what one does think of this movie – you do get to see (and hear) Keanu sing. “Babes in Toyland: Drew saves the day, but all that means is everyone gets to go back to Cincinnati – maybe living in a shoe would be a better option” would be an alternate title option.

7:15 – Appearance of the “Toymaster” which reminds one of “Matrix: Regurgitated.” the “Toymaster” also seems to have made a lot of toys for children involving candles; I was unaware candles were child-friendly. Collecting the evil of the world is either some “Green Mile” thing or the John Carpenter classic in which the plot revolves around “a liquid canister of Satan”

At times this movie is a little creepy at times, but in a different way – thusly disqualifying it for true “back-to-back-to-back creep”

7:26 – Scowling Keanu, which is not, incidently, as good as “Singing Keanu” – maybe one isn’t better than the other, they might just be different – like comparing “Act of Vengence” and “Letting Go;” both, one could argue, are fine films (although “Act” is creepier), but they just don’t have enough Keanu And why did they not make any cars to fit more than one person?

7:37 – It is officially official – this toymaster is exactly the same as as the “Regurgitated” keymaster guy (or whatever he was called – we’ll call him “older Asian guy in peril with wisdom to offer to those ‘foolish needing help white folks’”) – he keeps talking about good & evil There is a person in that tiny chicken costume. Which they just locked in a trunk.

Very relieving to be watching a feature length movie where Keanu has some actual screen time. Finding this very enjoyable. Must be the “Cincinnati” song reprise.

‘Thonning alone does have downpoints. No one make comments to (excluding, right now at least, those lovable “Babes”). No real bathroom oppurtunities. I digress, but had to mention the chase scene. Unleash the bottle of evil! Unleash the bottle of evil!

8:07 – This movie has what might be described as a “Forest bad, toys good” message
