While most critics were watching this season’s big tentpole movies — Tom Hanks in “News of the World” and Gal Gadot in “Wonder Woman 1984” — I spent the past week binge-watching Christmas movies.
No, not those old classics like “It’s a Wonderful Life” or “Miracle on 34th Street” or “The Bishop’s Wife.” This past week I devoted myself to modern Christmas movies, like those sticky-sweet concoctions you find on the Hallmark Channel.
