It's January, which means Nicolas Cage Month. The Critic starts the ball rolling with John Woo's horrifically outrageously overdone, but so-bad-it's-good, Face/Off. He enjoys what a loose canon Cage is in the film, and John Travolta is no slouch in the overacting department either. Also, Critic and Malcolm have to say farewell to Rachel, who's moved on to bigger and better things.

The Nostalgia Critic's "ghost" reviews the horrendous 1990 Bill Cosby flick Ghost Dad. It seems Cosby could never catch a break with his movie career, and this film is no exception. Implausible rules of the after-life, bad acting, bad writing, this movie never stood a ghost of a chance.

Time to speak for the Seuss as the Critic reviews the horrible 2012 cash-in on the good doctor's book that was against corporate greed, but the movie chooses to embrace it. Nothing but clichés galore, a poorly represented protagonist, and endless pop culture references, and somehow, it was still a big hit. The Critic intends to find out why.

At long last, it's time to review Jurassic Park III, the low point of the trilogy, so far. The Critic is dismayed to find Grant and Sattler's relationship retconned, the M.F.ing T-Rex biting the dust, and Tea Leoni's teeth-gratingly annoying performance. While he thinks the movie is stupid, he does praise its short running time.

The Critic balks at the 2013 horror thriller The Purge. He points out how illogical the whole idea is and how serious the movie takes it. He does however relish the over-acting villain. Meanwhile, a maniacal Film Brain demands the Critic do a crossover with him, lest he destroy the entire studio.

Hyper Fangirl coaxes the Nostalgia Critic to her 'humble' abode to make him review Princess Diaries 2: Royal Boogaloo with her. The movie is a stupid, cliché-ridden waste of time, but the Critic feels he must endure...lest he be picked off by the assassin who keeps following him around.

Being a fan of the original Christmas Story, though a bit put-off by its over-abundance of merchandising, the Nostalgia Critic takes a look at the unnecessary 2012 follow-up. It sucks donkey balls in every respect, from acting to writing to over-used narration to Ralphie's immature day dreams. It really puts the Critic's Christmas spirit to the ultimate test. Fortunately, Hyper Fangirl and her Assassin are here to try and restore his faith.
