Due to my bad habit of tracking down every sequel to films I like, I forced myself to watch this. From the stupid plot that makes NO SENSE and does everything it can to undo the first film to the lackluster performances from actors who are no replacement for the originals. There is as little of a reason to watch this as there was to originally make it. I give it 1.5 stars out of 5.

Regarded as the crudest of Christmas comedies, “Bad Santa” finally has a sequel on the way and some new images showing us what’s in store for Willie. While it was believed that Willie had given up the “mall Santa scam” it looks like he’s back in action and joined by many familiar faces. Marcus (Tony Cox) has managed to make his way back into Willie’s life and the kid who was obsessed with him seems to still be in his life. Take a look below and see what you can gather from these new images.

“Equity” examines women and their roles in the world, especially on Wall Street and in corporate America. With exceptional performances by all of the actors and with characters you can sink your teeth into, these women, and some men, do a wonderful job carrying you through a roller coaster ride of a story, which has perfectly placed plot points and an ambiguous ending. But, a roller coaster can sometimes have too many ups and downs, making tension conflict with boredom. While in no way is “Equity” an uninteresting experience, the absence of a constant layer of tension makes the film lack substance at times, frequently going from one tension-filled scene to a scene where a sense of safety and content take over. This didn’t stop me from enjoying the story that was being told and the characters carrying me along through it, although I can still guarantee older audiences will enjoy it much more than I did. At the end of the day, “Equity” is an important film not looking to grab awards and sweep the Oscars. It’s just a story that wants and needs to be told, and through Meera Menon’s exemplary direction, that point gets across in an honest and realistic fashion.
