The Santa Clause Region 1 Released: 10/13/1998 Widescreen 1.85
Watched the Santa Clause. I do like this one. It's just fun to watch and the end is cute and sweet enough without being too much. There's comedy but it's not over the top for me. | | | Pete |

| Posted: | | | | The X-Files: The Complete Sixth SeasonEpisode Watched:How the Ghosts Stole ChristmasMulder convinces Scully to put aside her gift wrapping on the night before Christmas to help him stake out a reputed haunted house. My Thoughts:Not only is this one of my favorite Christmas episodes to watch each year... it is one of my favorite episodes of X-Files. This episode has 2 big named guest stars in Ed Asner and Lily Tomlin. How The Ghosts Stole Christmas takes place in (and some outside) a haunted house the entire episode only has the 4 actors in it. And I think they all did a great job. My Rating: 4.5/5 | | | Pete |

| Posted: | | | | Title: It Happened On Fifth AvenueYear: 1947 Rating: NR Director: Roy Del Ruth Stars: Don DeFore, Gale Storm, Charlie Ruggles, Ann Harding, Victor Moore Overview: No one is inside that boarded-up mansion on Manhattan's ritzy 5th Avenue, right? Wrong. Its secret inhabitants include a philosophizing hobo and some GI families who are unable to find apartments during the post-World War II housing crunch. They set up residence in the posh brownstone while the owner, the second richest man in the world, winters in Virginia. Except the owner isn't in Virginia. He's there in disguise...and discovering a lot about how the average Joe and Jane think and live. My Thoughts: A sweet, silly piece of holiday schmaltz. This film is like a piece of cake - sweet, enjoyable, with just a little bit of substance. That little bit of substance is a lovely message, that "A man without friends is the most serious form of poverty." Funny at moments, touching at moments; they don't make films this innocent any more, even the ones they call family films. It is a bit long, and very short on action, but recommended if you don't mind a sweet, slow-moving film.

| Posted: | | | | Title: How the Grinch Stole ChristmasYear: 1966 Rating: NR Director: Chuck Jones Stars: Boris Karloff, June Foray, Thurl Ravenscroft Overview: Boris Karloff magnificently narrates the saga of the crotchety Grinch, who tries to rob the happy holiday from the Whos as they snooze. My Thoughts: A holiday season tradition in our family - one of those films that it just isn't Christmas without (along with Rudolph). We actually watched this one last night, but I didn't post. There's nothing that can be said about this cartoon that hasn't already been said - it's a wonderful telling of the story, just right, and should never have been remade. It's practically perfect in every way.

| Posted: | | | | The Polar Express: Two-Disc Widescreen Edition Region 1 Released: 11/22/2005 Anamorphic 2.40:1 Just finished watching the Polar Express. I really enjoyed it this year. It's a good story without going overboard on the sweetness factor. The only thing that detracts from the movie is the way it was made. Sometimes the characters seem very real and move realistically and the movie works. Other times, it's very obvious this was done with computers and the movements are just a little too disjointed. I know it was the first one (or one of the first ones) to use this type of animation, but you can definitely tell and I think that's the opposite of what the film makers were going for. Overall, I'd watch again, perhaps making it an annual watching or almost every year one. 4/5 for me. | | | Lori |

| Posted: | | | | WATCHED YESTERDAY...NOT SURE HOW i MISSED POSTING IT HERE...Veronica Mars: The Complete First SeasonA little bit Buffy. A little bit Bogart. A dash of Nancy Drew. Veronica Mars takes the best and brainiest of the American culture of crimesolving and adds a unique vision of its own – brooding, edgy, darkly funny and just plain dark – to become one of the hottest, sleekest series of the new century. Veronica (Kristen Bell) is an outcast in a trendy SoCal beach town. Once she ran with Neptune High's in crowd. But she's on the outside after her best friend is murdered and her sheriff father accuses the wrong man as the perp: the dead girl's billionaire father. Dad loses his job, Veronica loses her popularity and both struggle to build a detective agency and new lives. E-mail scams, cults, car thefts – you name it, Veronica investigates it. But her obsession is the murder of her friend. And she'll take any risk to solve it. Episode Watched:An Echolls Family ChristmasCalifornia Hold 'em. Weevil's the big winner at Logan Echolls' poker party but the $5,000 pot disappears. Keith attends the Echolls' swank Christmas party to discover who's been stalking Logan's father. My Thoughts:This is a good episode. There was two mysteries in this episode. One for Veronica to solve. And one for her father. Of course Veronica's mystery was the more interesting mystery to watch. I really didn't find myself caring too much about the mystery Keith was working on. But either way a good show... well worth watching. My Rating: 3/5 | | | Pete |

| Posted: | | | | Mr. Magoo's Christmas CarolAn animated, magical, musical version of Dickens' timeless classic "A Christmas Carol." The nearsighted Mr. Magoo doesn't have a ghost of a chance as Ebenezer Scrooge, unless he learns the true meaning of Christmas from the three spirits who haunt him one Christmas Eve. My Thoughts:This is part of a boxset that I got called The Original Christmas Classics... it is in a set of 7 specials. This is one I haven't seen since I was a kid. I always liked the character of Mr. Magoo. And I always liked the story of A Christmas Carol... but the one thing I don't like about this special is all the music they use in it. That is the one downfall of this show in my personal opinion. I am happy to say that the quality of the release is much nicer then I was expecting... for some reason I wasn't expecting too much quality wise. but I have absolutely no complaints about the quality of this set. My Rating: 3/5 | | | Pete |
