Christian’s Christmas: The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
By Christian DiMartino Alright, I’m sure those who are unaware are ready for a laugh. BUT… of all the adaptations of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol… George C. Scott did one, Alistair Sim did one, Jim Carrey did one, Albert Finney did one (perhaps the most underrated), there have been a number of reiterations of…

Christian’s Christmas: Jack Frost (1998)
By Christian DiMartino Imagine hiring one the most talented, funny actors in Hollywood to provide the voice of a creepy, CGI snowman. Not just a creepy, CGI snowman though: a creepy CGI snowman who doesn’t get much in the way that’s funny to say or do. Of course I’m talking about Michael Keaton, and the…

Christian’s Christmas: A Christmas Story Christmas (2022)
By Christian DiMartino Christmas! I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas. It really doesn’t feel like it. Like I’ve had my tree up since early November (judge away) and the last few weeks have been a blur. I’ve even been slacking on my Christmas movie viewings. I typically try not to do more than one post…

Christian’s Christmas: Reindeer Games (2000)
By Christian DiMartino So in all my years, I’d never actually seen Reindeer Games. Perhaps because at a young age, well, not only should I not have been watching it, but also, I was steered away from it. It was a movie we owned on VHS, and yet, my family claimed it wasn’t good. Must’ve…

Christian’s Christmas: Elf (2003)
By Christian DiMartino It had been 10 years since I’d seen Jon Favreau’s Elf. I’m sure some people watch it every winter, and that’s great. For me, it was a movie I’d always liked, but… my sophomore year of high school, I was forced to watch it in three different classrooms. And that did it…

Christian’s Christmas: Jingle All the Way (1996)
Do people like Jingle all the Way? Not sure if it’s a movie anyone cares about, but maybe we revisit it at Christmas time because it isn’t awful. Well, okay, it’s kind of bad. At times, it’s bad. As a kid, it was enjoyable enough to get by. With time though, I just sort of…

Christian’s Christmas: How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
Alright, so I reviewed this movie on here whenever I first started this page, circa 2015. Yet time has passed and I’m a bit different of a person. Has anything changed? Well, I’ve always had a soft spot for Ron Howard’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and it’s one that I always find myself defending.…

Christian’s Christmas: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)
I often wonder what reputation Home Alone 2: Lost in New York has. Obviously the original Home Alone was a classic and a box office behemoth at the time, but I know that everyone has to have an opinion about Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. I’m just not sure what the opinion is.…

Christian’s Christmas: The Polar Express (2004)
Robert Zemeckis’ The Polar Express seems to have people pretty polarized, even some 17 years after its release. In some circles, it’s probably considered a holiday classic, and could be seen as understandable, seeing as its imagery is singular (there is also Polar Express-themed celebrations and such). Yet the film was met with a lukewarm…

Christian’s Christmas: Christmas with the Kranks (2004)
I have an interesting history with Christmas with the Kranks. I saw it in theatres when I was about eight years old, and found it pretty funny. My sisters and I thought nothing of it. My mom though, she thought it was atrocious. So I watched it a few more years and then forgot about…
