THIS YEAR (2008) CHRISTMAS MOVIES

December 21st 2008 12:31
Here it is again. That time of the year when, according to the church, we should celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. - According to Bart Simpson, the birth of Santa Claus. - Some of the holiday traditions are sending cards to people you don’t really know and/or only care about for personal gain, decorate the house, the Christmas tree and put up Christmas light - Even tough it might be tiresome and time consuming and will have to removed after a couple of weeks followed by equally beautiful and bright bills -, sing Christmas carols - watch out for cracks on windows, - the last trip to church for the year (First: New Year, Second: Easter), stuff yourself with turkey and other Christmas treats and the most important part, remember that giving is more important than receiving. – Yeah right!



Anyway, there are some great Christmas movies in the theaters.

Four Christmases, Staring: Vince Vaughn, Reese Witherspon, Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, Jon Voight and Jon Favreau. Synopsis: A couple struggle to visit all four of their divorced parents on Christmas Day. – That’s what happens when you lie then caught.

Nothing Like The Holidays, Staring: Alfred Molina, Elizabeth Peña, Freddy Rodríguez, Luis Guzmán, Jay Hernandez, John Leguizamo, Debra Messing, Vanessa Ferlito, Melonie Diaz. Synopsis: A Puerto Rican family living in the area of Humboldt Park in west Chicago faces what may be their last Christmas together. - Don’t let the title fool you.

A Christmas Tale, Staring: Catherine Deneuve, Jean-Paul Roussilon, Anne Consigny, Mathieu Amalric, Melvil Poupaud, Hippolyte Giradot and Emmanuelle Devos. Synopsis: The Vuillard's shared history of physical and mental illness, estrangement, self harm, and loss doesn't lead itself to the idea of a cheerful holiday season. But can a Christmastime reunion, a scheme concocted by three of the youngest family members, finally bring peace their clan – The actors might not be familiar because the movie is French. (“Un Conte de Noël”).



Movie which will be release in theater on Christmas are:

Marley and Me, Staring: Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson. Synopsis: A family learns important life lessons from their adorable, but naughty and neurotic dog. – Did you see Jen on the cover of GQ Magazine?

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Starring: Brad Pitt and Kate Blanchet. Synopsis: Tells the story of Benjamin Button, a man who starts aging backwards with bizarre consequences. - Curious indeed.

Bedtime Stories, Staring: Adam Sandler and Courtney Cox. Synopsis: A family comedy about a hotel handyman whose life changes when the lavish bedtime stories he tells his niece and nephew start to magically come true. - Now this seems like an ideal Christmas movie.


Movies which don’t fit in the Christmas genre are: Valkyrie staring Tom Cruise – Who hasn’t been abducted by aliens. Yet. – is the true story about a plot to assassinate Hitler, Revolutionary Road staring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet – Yep, their first movie together since Titanic – is about young couple living in a Connecticut suburb during the mid-1950s struggle to come to terms with their personal problems while trying to raise their two children and Frost/Nixon staring Frank Langella, Michael Sheen, Sam Rockwell and Kevin Bacon is a dramatic retelling of the post-Watergate television interviews between British talk-show host David Frost and former president Richard Nixon. – We can handle the truth. Can’t we?


To everyone I wish you 2008 Merry Christmases. And Remember don’t drink (alcohol) then drive – drinking and driving is also illegal and dangerous by the way – eat responsibly – you don’t want it to be your last Christmas by sending you cholesterol level to the roof – be careful with lights, candles and fireworks unless you want to be homeless, get a trip to the hospital or host a funeral the next day.
