Joyce Sohyun Lee, Jon Swaine And Miriam Berger, Anchorage Daily News, 29 Mar. 2022 The strap of a rifle carried by one captor has a small yellow section, the other main color used to signify Ukrainian allegiance. Travis Bean, Forbes, An investigation into Steven's reappearance uncovered that he was motivated to plan an escape after his captor abducted Timmy.

#FIREPLACE 4K CRACKLING BIRCHWOOD SERIES#
Log line: With quality production values and the branding to match, the FFYH series are perennial go-to backdrops for a reason.Recent Examples on the Web Regardless of payoff, however, they’re seldom seen alive again, because this sadistic, psychotic captor has a harrowing fondness for the machete that seldom leaves his hand.ĭennis Harvey, Variety, 3 June 2022 This time, the captor was none other than The Dance Cartel, Ani Taj’s dynamic dance company that specializes in seizing the moment. If we could recommend one non-holiday entry, the Fireplace 4K: Crackling Birchwood edition (on Netflix only) is quite lovely, and is available, in FFYH fashion, with and without a musical soundtrack. The lighting-not too dark, not too bright-makes for a cozy contrast. Visual flourishes are minimal aside from the almost perfect symmetry of freshly chopped wood-bonus points for the fire actually evolving over the course of the hour. For our seasonally specific purposes, the Christmas Music/Holiday and Crackling Yule Log Fireplace editions are tasteful, straightforward installments. Other audio: An instrumental soundtrack of synth and string textures is expected if innocuous.įireside thoughts: Ash auteur George Ford’s empire of “Fireplace for Your Home” titles provides nothing if not options, and the holidays are no exception. Log line: From secular to sacred to clip-art Santa, this is truly the ultimate, whatever that means.įireplace for Your Home Presents: Christmas Music/Holiday Edition and Crackling Yule Log FireplaceĪvailability: Christmas Music/Holiday Edition (Amazon Prime Video and Hulu), Crackling Yule Log Fireplace (Netflix)Ĭrackle factor: Quite pronounced, even over the music.
Add a dusting of snow and a starry night on top of the flames for odd measure, along with another obviously computer-sketched hearth superimposed over the fire, some truly god-awful illustrations, an old animation and telling of the story of Luke 2, and a scene from 1935’s Scrooge, the first feature-length sound adaptation of A Christmas Carol. No kidding, the finest bit of Santa clip art floats down the live-action chimney (ouch, those flames!) barely 2 minutes into the hour-plus shenanigans, with the backing brick wall a canvas for projections of Christmas ornaments, nutcrackers, church facades, winter landscapes and other seasonal sights. Did someone ask for a ball-peen hammer for Christmas? Break it out.įireside thoughts: A vestige of the old 4:3 screen ratio age, this one throws everything and the kitchen sink into the (deeply sooted) hearth, which looks as though it were illuminated from above by fluorescent key light. Other audio: The corn factor is high on this one, from an opening poem of Hallmarkian sentiment to the lowest-budget Manheim Steamroller carols a la ’80s-era Casio, tinny pianos, ancient symphonic and choral treatments, even a reggae nod. The Ultimate Yule Log: The Light of ChristmasĬrackle factor: You’ll be too dumbfounded by the visuals and music to bother seeking out the crackle.
