Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town

First Viewing

"Toys are hereby declared illegal, immoral, unlawful AND anyone found with a toy in his possession will be placed under arrest and thrown in the dungeon. No kidding!'"

Thoughts: This was good. Charming and funny. Rankin/Bass really did produce a number of keepers back in their day.

Silent Night (2012)

First Viewing

"Not nice...'"

Thoughts: It's just okay. Has some nice scenes, but ultimately it's very hollow and callous.

A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas (2011)

First Viewing

"The tree is a cancer, Harold. We have to get rid of it before it kills Christmas."

Thoughts: I loved this. It's a funny, fast-paced R-rated stoner comedy set during the festive season. I laughed loudly and frequently, and it was even better in 3D.

Saving Santa

First Viewing

"The time globe... Wouldn't be able to keep up with my deliveries if it weren't for this!"

Thoughts: It wasn't bad, but it was flat and unremarkable.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas (1974) (1974)

Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983)

First Viewing

"Listen, Scrooge, if men were measured by kindness, you'd be no bigger than a speck of dust."

Thoughts: I've seen so many versions of this story, but at least this one has energy, comedy and spirit.

One Magic Christmas (1985)

First Viewing

"Well, my job is to, every Christmas, have to help one person, that's feeling down, to get into the Christmas spirit."

Thoughts: This was pretty delightful. It's definitely a Disney movie and it is cheesy, but I was won over by the end.

Prancer (1989)

First Viewing

"He's magical, Carol!"

Thoughts: This was actually pretty damn good. Has a lot of good-natured charm, and Sam Elliott is awesome.
