slaytonf Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 A Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Christmas. Rita Repulsa commandeers all the Rangers' action figures in a bid to drain them of their economic power, but when a little girl with the last one on Earth voluntarily gives it to her, it breaks the evil crust on her heart, allowing the inner good one to come out and appreciate the true meaning of Christmas, and they all have a party. Andrew Lloyd Webber's Christmas: The Musical. Baby Jesus rocks out with the three Magettes as backup in this all star spectacle with songs we loved from the smash stage production, like "What's in the Manger?" "Born to be a King," and "Star in My Eye." 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sepiatone Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Never cared much for Webber. I recall commenting to a woman who was at a Christmas party held by the company we were wedding photographers for that mentioned she had gone to see some production called "The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber" that I was surprised to learn that Webber ever bothered writing music. Anyway.....all the Christmas movies I would dread have already been made. It's Christmas TV SPECIALS that I would dread that come to mind..... Like, "The JAY-Z, EMINEM CHRISTMAS RAP"! w/ special guest SNOOP DOGG as SANSHIZZLE CLAUZ. or.... "A VERY KARDASHIAN KRISTMAS". Sepiatone 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Bethluvsfilms Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Scrooged for sure....I love Bill Murray but this film was WAY too over the top for my taste, and it's going overboard with a sudden surge of sentimentality at the end of the movie made my eyes roll.

Sepiatone Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Know what you mean BETH, but I STILL like it better than A DIVA'S CHRISTMAS CAROL starring VANESSA WILLIAMS as "Ebony" Scrooge. Sepiatone Link to post Share on other sites

Ya see, while I'm no Will Ferrell fan at all, this movie is actually pretty cute and entertaining. (...and perhaps the very reason IMDb rates the thing a fairly good 6.9/10) 2 Link to post Share on other sites
sewhite2000 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Man, Elf is one of the funniest movies ever! Let go of your prejudices long enough to watch it! Link to post Share on other sites
speedracer5 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I love Elf. I'm actually less of a fan of A Christmas Carol and all its iterations. I don't know why. The only Christmas Carol that I really like is A Muppet Christmas Carol. Of all the classic Christmas stories, A Christmas Carol is boring. Link to post Share on other sites
Sepiatone Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I like A Christmas Carol, mostly the '51 filmed version. But.... The CHRISTMAS CAROL I really like is "The girl with the patent leather shoes". Especially when High school classmate Wanda Paoletti was her at the local SEARS store one Christmas season.

Finally someone else who thinks Andrew Lloyd Webber is overrated. Love Never Dies is literally "phan-fiction" on crack. And don't even get me started on the fact that this man had the audacity to write a musical version of that Jack Black "masterpiece," "School of Rock." Does he just not even care anymore? Or did he ever care, for that matter? Not to mention, there are several individuals who believe he is a borderline plagiarist. I mean, the vamp of the "Phantom of the Opera" title song is almost identical to that of Pink Floyd's 1971 hit, "Echoes." 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Or did he ever care, for that matter? School of Rock was basically Paramount trying to get into the corporate-marketing "Studios on Broadway" game that Disney, Universal and Miramax have gotten into (basically crushing the previous generation of real Broadway musicals), but as for why Webber deigned to write it...? And while Phantom II is not "literally" on crack, twenty-years-outdated gushy-fangirl Phan-Fiction is about the best way to describe the big-highlight "Beneath a Moonless Sky" money-song from the show. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Christmas with the Kranks is one of the worst Christmas movies ever. DO NOT waste your time. (You have been warned.) I may get a lot of flak for this, but I dread watching It's a Wonderful Life with my family every year. I like Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed a lot, but it's more of a chore for me to watch a Christmas movie every year that I get bored of after awhile. I'm more of a Christmas Vacation and Elf kind of girl myself. Link to post Share on other sites

Sepiatone While we're on the subject of Christmas specials, I'd love to see That Malcolm in the Middle Christmas Show. Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) and his family are supposed to go to a ski lodge in Canada, but their car breaks down outside of Eric Forman's (Topher Grace) house. Due to the car breaking down and a major snowstorm, the family is forced to spend Christmas with Eric and his friends (who are all snowed in) in Point Place. As a fan of Malcolm in the Middle, I wish this was made when Malcolm and That 70's Show were still on the air. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
CaveGirl Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I'd like to say I would dread seeing "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" from 1964, starring Pia Zadora but the truth is that someone gave it to me last year for Christmas, so I have already suffered. I will say I think Pia Zadora is a lot more entertaining than Taylor Swift though... Link to post Share on other sites
LawrenceA Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Inspired by the recent story that Netflix is making a new Christmas project with Kurt Russell as Santa Claus: John Carpenter's The Christmas Thing - It's been 35 years since RJ. MacReady (Russell) and his fellow Antarctic station workers were attacked by a shape-shifting creature from outer space. When a group of 12 explorers discover a primitively constructed dwelling in the snowy wilderness, they find a sole occupant: MacReady, miraculously still alive although grown older, with a flowing white beard. MacReady seems very happy to see the new comers, and when one comments that he looks like Santa Claus with his white beard, MacReady let's out a "Ho!Ho!Ho!"and invites the explorers to sit on his lap and tell him what they want for Christmas. Only there's something not quite right about that look in his eye... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
