  1. The main story opens on December 5, 2104, and soon jumps to a "few weeks" later. And so, "Alien: Covenant" (2017) is also a Christmas Movie. In this essay I will...

  2. I just watched Rare Exports, which is one of the strangest Christmas movies I've ever seen. It's filled with bad daddies. Also, that ending hurts my brains. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_Exp #movies #ChristmasMovie #HorrorMovies

  3. Good Morning #Canada
    Happy #Festivus everyone. I'm looking forward to the airing of grievances and performing feats of strength later today. But we also have to celebrate National Christmas Movie Marathon Day on December 23rd. Our pickings are slim if you want to limit yourself to Canadian classics of this holiday season. Sure, virtually every #Hallmak movie is filmed in Canada, apparently with variations of a single plot, but they don't count. Here's a list of 5 Canadian films provided by CBC to get you started and you can provide a community service by suggesting other titles for your fellow Canucks. For example, Uncle Buck feels like a Christmas movie solely because of John Candy. When your list is ready, you can wrap yourself in a Hudson's Bay blanket, munch on some Nanaimo Bars, and binge watch your favourites.

  4. Finished our annual watching of the Muppet's Christmas Carol (a favorite, and one we've watched for much of its 33 year lifetime.)

    So many pieces of dialogue from the movie are embedded in our family lexicon, and yet I laugh out loud each year when we watch it again.

    "Thanks for makin' me a paht of this!"

    "What? What? Hey, what? What?"

    Silly, great, fun.

  5. Never mind #DieHard.
    We will look back on 2025 as the first for which #TheShining was our family’s #ChristmasMovie.

  6. My partner put on Home Alone 2 the other night, which surprised me because there is only 1 #ChristmasMovie he usually watches annually, and I will tell you what it is on Christmas Eve, because that's when we watch it.

  7. "The Heroes of Telemark" (1965) is, of course, a Christmas movie. Anton Diffring, who specialized in Nazi villains, plays Major Frick. He also played Colonel Kramer in "Where Eagles Dare" (1968).

    I've been saying for years that Lethal Weapon is a Christmas movie. People tend to overlook it & it absolutely is a Christmas movie.

    It takes place at Xmas, with Xmas music & Xmas decorations. Martin Riggs suffering a lose & giving up on everything until Roger Murtaugh & family show him love.

    Ending with Riggs giving Murtaugh a present (his suicide bullet) as he no longer needs it, he finds his soul & a new family.

  9. Instead of being obvious, the script plays the familiar relations really subtle … but you notice some things:

    * Clark really hates Eddie
    * Art, Ellen’s dad, despised Clark
    * Ellen deserves a medal
    * Ellen’s mom also hates Clark

    It’s always a joy to hear all the side comments, because they’re true examples of the kind of passive-aggressive battles white Anglo-Saxon Protestants politely endure.

  10. Wenn ihr euch den #Advent bzw. #Weihnachten versauen möchtet, dann müsst ihr auf YouTube mal „Christmas by Design Trailer“ eingeben.

    Egal, welchen Trailer (der beiden gleich benannten Filme) ihr anschaut, schlimmer kann es bzgl. „Weihnachtsfilm“ fast nicht mehr werden 🤢.

  11. Spoiler-free #xmas #movie #review...

    Last night my partner and I watched Violent Night (2022) for the third xmas in a row. It's held up well, and is our new favourite xmas movie (dethroning The Ref (1994)). It's basically an action-comedy, but the story is about Santa Claus and a little girl - it's a dyed-in-the-wool xmas movie, not just a movie that happens to be set in December, like some of the ones people argue about "Is <X> a Christmas movie or not?".

    It's got a good #cast - the lead, David Harbour, is absolutely fantastic. Beverly D'Angelo is a supporting part, but steals pretty much every scene she's in. John Leguizamo is great as the villain, chewing every last bit of the scenery with gusto. The actress playing young Trudy isn't even annoying, and that's a rare achievement in #Hollywood.

    Highly #recommended.

  12. “Designing Christmas” (2022) is a #ChristmasFilm meets #ChangingRooms. The romance elements are by the by, the comedic moments will out! I should defo re-view in the future. 😂👍🏻 #ChristmasMovie

  13. This #ChristmasFilm, “Christmas Wonderland” (2018), is definitely one to play in the background, as we speed through seven days in a snowy, rural town. This #ChristmasMovie is good on the eye, but will not tax your brain… at all! This was my fourth viewing and if it appears I shall watch again; but I should not go looking for it. 😉

  14. Tried to watch the #ChristmasFilm “Christmas Unwrapped” (2020), but had to give in. Cliché’d tropes, wooden acting (with a couple of exceptions), lack of chemistry… I could almost have believed the ‘NSB’ was a cult. After three-quarters-of-an-hour I had to give up on this fairly poor #ChristmasMovie. View at own risk!

  15. I don't know how to make sense of the fact that this was the original cut of this LOVE ACTUALLY sequence -- a three-minute-long gymnastics-laden chase. THREE. MINUTES. LONG.

    Also, gymnastics.

  17. Another #TeriHatcher & #DanPayne #ChristmasMovie, but this time quite watchable - if one ignores the preposterousness of this actually funny rom-com, #ChristmasAtTheChalet (2023). TH’s hair looks a bedraggled mess throughout, but p’raps matches her exuberant character. #WilliamDeVry plays an (uncharacteristically for #ChristmasFilms) introverted love-interest. I should view again, but donæ recommend one searches it out.

  18. I hope I never have to view this #ChristmasMovie again: #HowtoFallInLoveByChristmas is not dire, but not far off. #TeriHatcher is in cruise-mode. The leading-man, #DanPayne, is a mature, handsome chap who falls for Teri’s Norah; alas there is no chemistry between them. The best acting was by supporting actress, #RachelWilson, who subtly out-acted everyone to convincingly portray a sibling. Fine as a background #ChristmasFilm, otherwise avoid! 😔

  19. I am up AND downstairs! Did a bit of clean & tidy up in the kitchen. Then I prepped a #VenisonStew (top image) for the #SlowCooker. After that, I prepared a #BreadAndButterPudding (bottom image), which housemate will need to pop in the oven later. Now I am viewing a #ChristmasFilm (#ChristmasMovie) and noshing on a light #brunchea! Ha ha ha

  20. A bright new light in the sky leads travelers who study the stars to witness the birth of a baby who could change the future of humanity. #STTMP is my favorite #ChristmasMovie (well, Epiphany, at any rate!) Happy holidays all! #AllStarTrek #MeTVStarTrek #StarTrek

  21. I bumped into #JohnPatrickShanley last night and I told him I treat #Doubt as a #christmasmovie - “They’re arguing about Frosty the Snowman. It’s a Christmas movie.”
    Him: “Well, it’s certainly my Christmas.”

  22. Black Christmas (1974)

    Quite possibly my favourite #ChristmasMovie and also one of my favourite #HorrorFilm houses. I really like all the woodwork in it.

  23. Just watched My Policeman #film. That's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. Don't bother. Seriously, ignore all the 5 star reviews because they're just fans who love Harry Styles. An interesting storyline, but marred by terrible directing and hopeless script. Even the costumes looked wrong, like they'd just been taken off the wardrobe department's rail. One star, maybe two at a push.

  24. This time around watching #Elf, it was pretty cool to pay close attention to how Jon Favreau used #ForcedPerspective for the elves at the North Pole. #Cinemastodon #ChristmasMovie
