Pandering to the Christmas season, Pixar bring Santa Claus the big screen in their latest uplifting tale of friendship overcoming all in its path. Reindeer will fly.
Make no mistake this is a Christmas 2010 schmalzfest with candy canes, ribbons and toys thrown at us by Lurhmann like a giant Snow Ball
This bizarre and engaging tale incorporates the spirit of giving through the unlikely protagonist – socks, the mainstay of many a gift-wrapped present. They have had enough of their ill treatment – even ads mock them. Featuring the voices of Liam Neeson and Robbie Coltrane as Harry and Santa an all-star cast provides the sock voices including Jane Horrocks, Seth MacFarlane, Will Smith and Dawn French in different roles.
Have you ever wondered how much cocaine an elf can snort before he steals a gondola and throws it through the window of Hooters? Then you have come to the right place. Director Todd Phillips is unafraid to tackle this question and more in ninety minutes of festive lunacy. “It’s Naked Gun… Stripped, drugged and made to wear a Christmas hat”
Forget everything you know about Charles Dickens literary classic ‘A Christmas Carol’ because Sir Steven has taken the classic festive ghost story, broken its wrist and thrown it through a plate glass window.
Warning – X for Xmas will mutilate your mind! The Wachowski boys are back in town with a bang (and I don’t mean Larry’s fringe), writing and directing a gun-toting, mind-blowing bastard baby of a film delivered by C-section with a chainsaw. It’s a sassy Joel Silver production, so miss it if you dare!
“When Santa turns evil, true terror awaits…”
In his latest film under the banner of the experimental ‘Dogma’ movement, enfant terrible Lars Von Trier offers his skewed world view on yuletide traditions- with messy results.
“His house, his rules.”
Remakes seem to be the order of the day at the moment and it was only a matter of time before the film that gave us Macaulay Culkin’s cheeky grin spawned a re-imagining fit for the new millennium’s gore-hungry following.
Bella, Edward and the family are living the happy ever after. The world continues to turn and their worlds continue to turn around one another. Life after life seems rosy. Until one day Santa comes knocking. Do they have the power to believe? Do you have the power to believe? Does Santa have the power to believe?
