This
is a golden oldie for all teenagers who learned to talk in the 80s.
There’s no
evil plot to kill Santa, no amazing computer graphics, just a kid who’s
growing
up in the 50s and wants an official Red Ryder Carbine-Action
Two-Hundred-Shot
Range Model
“Saturday
Night Live” fans both young and old will get a good laugh from Will
Ferrell’s
act of playing an orphaned human baby who grows up with Santa’s elves
but
journeys to 
We all
loved journeying to the crazy worlds of Dr. Seuss in his books. This
movie
brings his outlandish story to life and takes you into Whoville where
all the
Whos are getting ready for Christmas. Just outside Whoville lives the
Grinch.
Be prepared to both cheer for and hate the Grinch as he tries to ruin
Christmas, but instead begins to appreciate the holiday. From the
surreal sets
and costumes to Jim Carrey’s stellar performance this film is sure to
entertain
Christmas movie lovers of all ages.
Based on
Chris Van Allsburg’s beautifully illustrated book of the same title,
the movie Polar Express is destined to become a
Christmas classic. It is Christmas Eve, and one little boy lies awake
in his
bed, doubting the existence of Santa Claus. Intently listening for the
sound of
reindeer or snow bells, much to his surprise, a steam engine’s roar can
be
heard from his window. He steps outside and boards a train bound for
the North
Pole with other pajama-clad children. As the magical tale unravels, a
series of
extraordinary events take place on their journey to Santa. The boy,
along with
the rest of the children soon learn the gift of believing in themselves
as well
as Santa.
When this Tim
Burton (Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Big
Fish) classic came out in 1993, children
were divided into two groups: kids who saw this movie in theatres and
were
entertained, and kids who left the theatre early because they were
terrified by
the sight of clowns with tear-away faces and shrunken heads for
Christmas
gifts. Even if you were one of the children who didn’t exactly
appreciate the
movie when you were five, consider seeing the movie again. If the
concept of
the king of Halloween hijacking Santa’s sleigh and sending evil undead
trick-or-treaters to “kidnap the Sandy Claws” sounds a little weird to
you,
well, you’re right, but this Claymation musical is worth two hours of
your
winter break.
