With Christmas fast approaching I realised that we don't own a copy of The Night Before Christmas. Therefore I began my hunt for a copy that my three year old would enjoy. I wanted something with vivid color and interaction. The pages are very busy and there is something new to see each time we open the pages. The traditional poem has always been one of my favorites. The illustrations add life to the words. My son loves it and keeps asking to "Read Santa!" and he goes around saying "Dash away! Dash away!" If you too are on the hunt for The Night Before Christmas, I recommend this copy. Eventually I would like a classic hard copy of this poem to own, but this year I am settling for a digital copy of this version that I found through our local library. May your season be filled with Christmas cheer!

Brooks almost at his finest!
Contains spoilers, click to show
Not Brooks best, but I'd say his 3rd best, just after Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.

The film follows Brooks character, a moviemaker with an original idea, a new silent movie with some of the biggest stars of the 70s. The film is mainly based around hiring the cast and saving the studio from being bought by an evil conglomerate.

Despite the movie being completely silent apart from a single word, the jokes in the title cards are hilarious, and the return of traditional slapstick comedy is somehow very comforting.

The cast is what really makes this film. The comedic talents of Mel Brooks, Dom Deluise, Marty Feldman and Sid Caesar are brilliant, with hilarious cameos from 70s stars Burt Reynolds, Paul Newman, Marcel Marceau and Liza Minelli, this film is perfect for the whole family!

One of those enduringly great movies that captures the spirit of the time in which it was made. A pair of outlaws discover that the free-and-easy west in which they've lived is being overtaken by the modern world. What do two men do when there just isn't a place for them any more?

A shamelessly nostalgic and bittersweet reflection on the loss of innocence, not least in the western genre itself; the film is unapologetically romantic about the activities of a couple of bandits, but they are written and played with such charm and conviction that you accept them utterly and keenly feel the loss of everything that they represent. Great performances from the three leads, and a script filled with quotable lines and memorable moments - not sure it's strictly speaking a classic western in the traditional sense, but certainly a classic film.
