To celebrate being top of the dooyoo movie crowns in December, here is my festive pick of the films and TV coming up this merry holiday. One of the best Christmas movies has already been and gone, 'Elf' (if you can stomach Will Ferrell talking very loudly for two hours), and so too late for that one. But there are one or two gems hidden amongst the repeats for you to enjoy. ****CHRISTMAS EVE**** The premier of 'Cars' and The Chronicles of Narnia will make you snug in the afternoon on BBC1 for a solid start to the holiday. I have seen neither but somehow it seems ok for adults to watch kid's films at Christmas so these somewhat tempting. The network ...  Read the complete review

Christmas is my favourite time of year..it always has been. When I was a little girl, I would eagerly await my Mum announcing that the tree was coming out to be decorated. Shops absolutely mobbed and enticing adverts on the television. Awaiting for that first snowdrop to fall and if it fell on Christmas Eve..all the more magical. So Christmas day comes but once a year and after the hustle and bustle of unwrapping those gifts and stuffing ourselves silly with a 3course meal, my Granny would put the Queens speach on (hated that part)! Once Granny and Mum dozed off on the sofa, I would scan the 5 channels we had for the perfect film. A Christmas ...  Read the complete review

Bwahahaha ! 'Tis I, the evil beggar ! I look down upon the land, and see all you dooyooers full of festive spirit, laughing and decorating your Christmas trees. Well, take heed ! For here is a list of Christmas evil, with tales of santy claus gone bad, of yuletide slaughter, which will make you gag on your eggnog and choke on your mince pies ! But seriously...I just figured that since all the given Christmas classic are so well known, and since all this saccharine makes me feel right sick, I might as well write a different kind of list. Here are catalogued a slightly more sinister breed of festive films, offering a more cynical or downright unpleasant ...  Read the complete review

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Better than your average ‘Christmas Movie’ Not normally being what you could call a ‘film buff’, I happened on this delightful, entertaining and *extremely funny* film quite by accident over the Christmas holidays. Shown on BBC 1, on Christmas morning (2000) I ‘stumbled’ over it by chance, during a lull in the festivities. (i.e.; - after preparing the sprout, but before the really ‘heavy’ work of the day) I have since found out that it was first shown last Christmas and has won umpteen awards. Ask me what this film is lacking and I ...  Read the complete review

'Jack Frost' is a heart-warming Christmas movie that all the family will enjoy - and one that HASN'T been on terrestrial TV yet! It stars Michael Keaton (Batman) as Jack Frost, an aspiring musician, loving husband and occasionally absent father. But Jack's just-getting-better life is unexpectedly cut short by a car accident... so it seems he'll never be able to put right the wrongs in his life? Don't bet on it. Because one year after his death, his son Charlie (Joseph Cross) makes a heart-felt wish that his dad could come back. And what do you know, he comes back as a snowman. Well you do don't you. The original death of the father ...  Read the complete review
