☝ merry *&#@ Christmas y'all, this is a mega-post, first off, happy holidays to you and yours and starting off the proceedings with
TOP TJREE CHRISTMAS MOVIES THIS YEAR >
1 CANDY CANE LANE (2023) - Eddie Murphy's tour de force could be a lot worse and in general good Christmas movies of any acceptable caliber don't come down the pike every year, Enter this charming world complete with talking and singing ornaments. Many things to love here - top of the list being it's culturally diverse with a nice vibe, it's musical but not a musical, and like a well-decorated tree it;s bas many bells and whistles to marvel at along the way. 3.0 stars/5
2 SCROOGE (1970) This is one of those watch every year one's. You have to be ready for a singing, dancing Albert Finney in a lavish British production along the lines of Chitty Chirry Bang Bang. And, in fact, has some lineage to that previous family classic. This is really a great take on A Christmas Carol and the only adaption ever to feature a now infamous sequence where Scrooge goes to hell shortly. If you can immerse yourself in it's world, this is a wonderful experience of the Dickens fable. 3.0 stars/5
3 I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS (1995) - Yeah, I know. Guilty pleasure for sure, but have and still do love this goofball slapstick-y comedy from mid-'90's Disney. Johnathon Taylor Thomas, who went on to become a lawyer later in life, plays a college shyster who can fast-talk his way out of any situation. That it, until he pisses off the jocks, who tape a Santa beard and costume to him and drop him in the niddle of Joshua Tree. He now has to cross country in 24 hours to make it home for Xmas dinner at 6pm and inherit his dad's Porche. 3.0 stars/5
