The Santa Clause

-  Tim Allen (aka Scott Calvin) is a egotistical toy executive who infamously treats his son Tim Allen Jr. (aka Charlie) to holiday dinners at Denny's.  On Christmas Eve Tim Allen hears what he believes to be an intruder on the roof and murders him, only to learn that it is Santa.  While gloating over the corpse of Santa, Tim Allen tries his coat on and unknowingly signs a contractual clause to become the next Santa.  Tim Allen spends the majority of the film fighting against the horrific transformation into Santa while his world crumbles around him.  When Tim Allen's ex-wife tries to take Tim Allen Jr. away he gives into the dark powers of Christmas and fully transforms into Santa.  In a display of power Tim Allen kidnaps Tim Allen Jr. as he evades capture through space and time while delivering presents to the entire world.  Satisfied in his revenge against his ex-wife Tim Allen returns Tim Allen Jr. so he can reign supreme over the elf's of the North Pole.

A plane full of people fly from Los Angeles to Chicago. A wholesome movie featuring families and loving couples, it's a reminder of the good times, when the airlines offered pillows and blankets, and all passengers were served a full meal during the flight.

A elderly media tycoon dies alone but somehow his servants hear him say "rosebud"  as his last word despite not being in the room.  Other media outlets attempt investigate if "rosebud"  has any significance.  The story is ultimately deemed to be uninteresting and dropped..
