Description

Don't waste another second of your valuable holiday time on another boring Christmas movie. {Au: "Another" twice ok?} Film critic Alonso Duralde highlights the best - and worst - movies of the Yuletide season with this fun and informative film guide. Whether you're looking for the classics, family favourites, holiday horror, Christmas-themed crime epics, or the most wonderfully awful cinematic lumps of coal, Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas will point you and your rental queue in the right direction. Whether your idea of a holiday classic is White Christmas, Bad Santa, Die Hard, Eyes Wide Shut, or Gremlins, you'll find the right film for you, as well as an exhaustively entertaining breakdown of the various screen Scrooges, from Alistair Sim to Jim Carrey to...Tori Spelling? And get ready to encounter movies you may never have heard of {Au: I think "may never have heard of" sounds better in that it reflects what people actually say - not an argument I make that often, but I don't think we have a strong mandate to keep "never heard" together at the expense of naturalness.} , from the gritty noir Christmas Holiday, starring 1930s singing ingenue Deanna Durbin in her first hard-bitten adult role, to the loony Santa Claus, a Mexican kiddi movie in which St. Nick teams up with Merlin to fight the devil! Plot synopses, video availability, and fun facts - did you know the actor cast as Uncle Billy in "It's a Wonderful Life" was also in the running to play mean old Mr. Potter? - make this a stocking stuffed with information you'll turn to every Christmas season.
