all I want for Christmas: curated cinema holiday countdown #4
An Advent calendar of holiday movies to fulfill heartfelt desires.
Arthur Christmas
Red One movie review: a very copaganda Christmas
Unfunny action comedy can’t even pull off sloppy Yuletide kitsch. The anti-chemistry among its likable stars is “bested” only by the ugly CGI. Have some light festive violence — you know, for kids!
Get Santa movie review: Shawshank Christmas
Or, That Time That Santa Went to Prison and Dad Broke Parole to Spring Him. You know, for kids! A new classic in the annals of Yuletide movie misfires.
Walking with Dinosaurs: The 3D Movie review: where is an extinction-level event when you need one?
Sub-vaudeville 1950s sitcom humor and a horrifically dated message about boys as heroes and girls as the heroes’ property. You know, for kids!
question of the day: Who was the most kickass female action film character of 2011?
I gotta go with Bryony, the kickass elf Wrapping Operative Grade Three, in Arthur Christmas…
French movie posters for Puss in Boots, Arthur Christmas, Breaking Dawn, In Time, The Rum Diary
I always enjoy seeing how movie titles translated into other languages, so of course I snapped some photos of movie posters when I was in France last month…
London photo of the day: Arthur Christmas takes over Regent Street
I’m guessing we’re meant to take on Arthur’s generous giving spirit as we shop, and not his clumsy, trashing-the-place-iness.
Arthur Christmas movie review: sufficiently advanced Christmas magic
Is there sweet? Absolutely. But it is cut with funny: sometimes wicked, sometimes manic, often hysterical, always clever funny. And a whole lotta poignant, too.
please with the Justin Bieber make it stop, Arthur Christmas Edition, thank you
I saw Arthur Christmas last weekend and really liked it but that might be because Justin Bieber had yet to warble all over it.

I might not have to hate this Christmas movie.
