Music : A Christmas Carol [1938] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
I captured this on video some twenty years ago, but, unfortunately, missed recording the first five minutes. Never mind, it has been a perennial Christmas favourite. Despite the passage of years, it still comes out each December. In fact, if it were not for this film I would probably not have retained my video player! A month ago, I left my previous job and was rewarded with a multi region DVD recorder/player. I immediately sent off for the DVD via Amazon. I can now see the whole film!!

The film is a marvellous evocation of a by-gone era, but one we would all like to still experience. The cast is consistently excellent, the musical accompaniment subtle, appropriate and totally unevasive, and the film captures the mood and ... Read More:

Music : A Christmas Story [1983] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
A little jewel of a film! This movie was released with not much fanfare in 1983, but has developed a loyal following in the U.S. due to it's repeated airing on cable television. Such is it's cult following, that American cable network TBS regularly hosts a "Christmas Story Marathon" during which the film is shown for 24 hours straight, from Christmas Eve to Christmas Day! I moved to Ireland from America 6 years ago, and have searched in vain for this film to appear on the Christmas schedule of RTE, BBC, Sky or any of the other 500 channels on my system. Sadly "A Christmas Story" is virtually unheard of on this side of the Atlantic, and I soon realised that I would probably never see it again, unless I bought it myself.

Since the last Goon has passed away, I have been playing a couple of my favourite cds. And Lo! this is one of them.It has 4 classic shows and includes previously unreleased material. I will pick on three highlights; "I'm walking backwards for christmas" the first time
Spike unleashed this comic song to the unsuspecting public. Enter Bluebottle through the pipe. A master of a thousand voices was Peter Sellers. The third one was the John Snagge meeting Eccles, applying for the announcers job. Snagge could not beleive Eccles "was at Cambridge". When he asked Eccles what he was doing at Cambridge;
"Buying a tie" came the classic answer. Out of four shows it is not easy picking your favourite bits. Buy this today and pick ... Read More:

Music : Jack Frost [1999] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
When Frank Capra directed It's a Wonderful Life a classic was made and whilst Jack Frost may not be anywhere near to this standard a 3rd generation Capra directs a very enjoyable Christmas fare.Michael Keaton and Kelly Preston shine in this warm hearted tale about young boy whose father is too occupied with hitting the big time rock and roll stage rather than spend time with his kid.However this all changes when the film takes a rather unusual twist(if not totally unbelievable). Nevertheless,the storyline has a warm Dickens type feel good factor and an underlying message for ignoring father's.Michael Keaton is polished in his role as the father of Charlie and Kelly Preston shines as his mother in a spoof snowman tale that is bound to go down well with the kids (guaranteed)The ...

Music : Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics [EXPLICIT LYRICS]
I don't know about you, but I try to keep the spirit of South Park Christmas in my heart every day of the year, and nothing keeps the Yule log burning quite like Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics. Yes, this is an album for all seasons of the year, a collection full of good cheer, good laughs, and of course pooh. Here are eighteen - count 'em, eighteen - South Park Christmas classics to keep your heart warm, your funny bone tickled, and your bowels regular.

Get the party started with the classic early 50s version that started the whole phenomenon, Mr. Hankey the Christmas Pooh. If that doesn't get you in the South Park Christmas spirit, Mr. Garrison's energetic rendition of Merry F'ing Christmas will - unless you're one of those dirty heathens who don't celebrate the season. ...

29.Dr. Seuss How the Grinch Stole Christmas - Combo Format [HD DVD] [2000] [US Import] starring: Jim Carrey, Taylor Momsen, Jeffrey Tambor, Christine Baranski, Bill Irwin

Music : Dr. Seuss How the Grinch Stole Christmas - Combo Format [HD DVD] [2000] [US Import]
The Grinch feels like a movie made for two reasons: to cash in on Christmas. And to cash in on Dr Seuss.

The movie lacks charm. Nothing really works within it. Carrey's performance is tolerable, but I think Seuss would be mortified at how they've portrayed his character. The Whos of Whoville are some of the creepiest make-up jobs I've ever seen. Although I'm not surprised they made it screen looking this eerie, since Ron Howard is the director, and I've yet to be impressed by anything he's put on screen.

The one saving grace of this film is some really nice portrayals of Christmas-y landscapes. They do a great job of evoking that warmth and wonder of Christmas season.

Aside from that, this is a pretty bad film, and the over-sentimentality is almost ... Read More:
