Day: 97 Movie: One Magic Christmas

This is a movie from the 80's that I thought was a Made-For-Tv production, but turns out it was a Walt Disney feature.


The movie is about a hard up family around Christmas time. The mother (though vaguely sexy in a housewife-next-door sorta way) is really grouchy about everything as can be expected, owing to their dire circumstances. The husband on the other hand is an optimistic chap(if a lil irrationally so) and is generous to a fault, even building a bike for a poor friend of his kids, because its all she wants for Christmas, when he himself is unemployed. He does however want to start a Bike shop of his own though his wife keeps vetoing it.


The movie centers around the rather trying circumstances that eventually force a transformation in the wife.

It is a rather heartwarming story if not a very well thought out one... I Still didn't mind watching it overall...


Plus the Santa here is probably the most convincing realistic portrayal I've ever seen in a movie. 


The WHOLE movie is actually available in 8 to 10 minute installments on Youtube, so no hassle of downloading...

Have Fun!!

Day: 98 Movie: Jingle All The Way

Its 9 in the morning and i'm watching Jingle All The Way!! :D Thank god for Movies NOW!! Best start to the day ever!


Ok I know its not exactly premium fare but still, I watched it when i was about 10 or 12 i think and i thought it was pretty damned awesome back then! :D And Despite ARGH-nold's terrible acting, it still is saved by the kickass antics of Sinbad, a cameo by Jim Belushi and of course the guy you cant help but hate, Phil Hartman... 

Day: 99 Movie: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Day: 100 Movie: Love Actually

This Movie follows the intertwining lives of a few Londoners, through the heartbreak, loneliness and exhilaration of love that is always so much more intense around the holidays. The movie opens with the narrator musing to himself that If you're ever feeling cynical about the existence of Love in todays world, a bit of time spent watching the arrivals gate at Heathrow around Christmastime will remind you that there is indeed a lot of love to go around...

Yes I know that liking this movie makes me a sap, but I don't care. As a matter of fact my favourite moment in the whole movie is this:

Yeah, so if you seriously do think I need to Butch up, please do leave your name and address and I shall very obligingly come over and beat the piss outta you with a lead filled candy cane. :D
