Frequently over the past THREE YEARS Michael Obremski has called
unsuspecting young girls in the Roanoke area, threatening to defile them.
A judge in Roanoke yesterday doubled Obremski's sentence for the string of
obscene phone calls that the prosecutor said robbed these girls of their
innocence.

He's also been sentenced to serve an additional 31 and a half years from

A knife from a pair of murder suspects in 19-85 may now be a factor in
another case that happened during that same time period.

But it came back from the state lab this week withOUT any traces of blood.

Arnold plays Howard, a loving but often absent father who always misses the
important events in his son's life.
To appease Jamie--Jake Lloyd--Howard promises to get him the thing he wants
most for Christmas, a Turbo Man action figure.
The problem is that Turbo Man is the hot Christmas item and is sold out all
over town.
In his search, Howard crosses paths with another desperate father--Sinbad--
as a stereotypical wacko Postal worker.
The two men engage in infantile and spiteful behavior trying to find a Turbo
Man.

"Jingle All The Way" gets a "C+". The whole thing is pretty silly. Not to
mention violent in a cartoonlike way.
But the conmen Santa scene and some of the climax at a Christmas parade
almost make this one worth seeing.
