Mar 9, 2018
The classic picture book that finds the true meaning of Christmas as the Grinch tries to stop Christmas from coming for the Whos. Told in classic Seuss rhyme, it's a book I loved as a kid and still enjoy as an adult.

The Marinated Meeple (1853 KP) rated Elf (2003) in Movies
May 30, 2018
An amazingly charming Christmas story with lots of childlike wonder.
The over the top charm is part of what makes this movie for me. You gotta buy in and not be a humbug. Probably one of the top 5 modern Christmas classics. if you've not seen it yet, you should. plus an alternate movie poster.

Animatronics are good
Gingerbread men + nailgun = win
Amusing
Watched this for the first time today, and it's a good laugh. Silly fun, and probably the first "horror" I've watched with a Christmas theme. If you're looking for a Christmas film that's different from the usual family fun or slapstick comedy, it's worth a go.

The ultimate Christmas film
This is by far my favourite Christmas film and I watch it every year without fail, and it never fails to raise some festive cheer.
The Muppets with Michael Caine as Scrooge, you really can’t go wrong. It’s thoroughly enjoyable, full of great humour and heartwarming scenes. The songs too are well written, catchy and some even bring a tear to your eye. The only negative thing I can say about this is that it’s sadly looking a little dated, but it’s still miles more entertaining than some of the more recent Christmas films.

Average Festive Rom-Com
A decent enough Rom-Com Netflix film set around Christmas time. Think the title is from 2 films that are most peoples fave Christmas films, Love Actually and Die Hard.
A journalist who writes about her bad online dates finally meets a great guy. So she travels across America to surprise him for Christmas, only to find out she has been Catfished. However the guy in the photo is in the same town and tries to get to know him.
Nina Dobrev is quite funny and it has a certain charm to it but nothing original really.

Easy watch
Standard Christmas film
Contains spoilers, click to show
What with Christmas just around the corner, I decided to give this a go. It's a lovely film to watch with the build up to Christmas. At times I felt like there wasn't much going on. I'm not a huge fan of Christmas so that could add to why I didn't score it as highly. The plot itself was very good and unique for a Christmas film. It features a young aspiring journalist, Amber who is about to marry a prince in Aldovia. When she arrives in the country she has to be aware of what she can and cannot do as the Queen to be. Prince Richard is under a lot of stress following his royal duties. It is soon discovered that money was being taken out of the royal account. I just felt that it was a bit obvious who was behind changing the figures and it could have had more of a build up. Overall a good film but don't make the same mistake I did and watch the second one first without realising!

Stop Motion at its Best
Jack Skelington has become dispondant with his Halloween life. He feels bored, unfulfilled, and does not love the day like he used to.
While pondering his identity crisis, we stumbles out of Halloween Town and into Christmas Town!
Becoming obsessed with this new Holliday, he convinces the town to run Christmas, and takes father Christmas hostage/ for a forced holiday, in order to put their spooky twist on the day.
With a host of creepy but lovable characters, they learn the true spirit of Christmas.
Sounds cheesy? Well, surprisingly not. It is often debated as to weather this is a Christmas or Halloween film. Considering the lessons learnt, I would say it is an Xmas film, but a bit of a spooky one.
The songs are catchy (And I recommend the 2 disc soundtrack with the cover versions), the visuals are spectacular! All done with stop motion, it is a credit to this school of animation. Stunning and fun, it's a great watch, and one of my all time favourite.
