This is possibly the most irreverent take on the Christmas classic… “A Christmas Carol” ever made! Bill Murray plays the horribly ruthless TV exec Frank Cross (the Scrooge in this version). First he is visited by his late boss (played by John Forsythe) who tells him it’s not too late to change. Then he is visited by three of the most unconventional ghosts you will ever see… and Carol Kane is the funniest (and most vicious) ”Ghost of Christmas Present” ever!!! John Forsythe, (a very young looking) Wendy Malick, Michael J. Pollard, Karen Allen, Robert Mitchum, and Bobcat Goldthwait round out the cast. Don’t miss it this holiday season… you’ll regret it if you do. 
A memorable line from the movie… “Well, Charles Dickens would have wanted to see her nipples then.”
It’s here again… “A Diva’s Christmas Carol” starring Vanessa L. Williams! The classic Dickens tale is retold with attitude and a female Scrooge… first name… Ebony. Kathy Griffin makes a fantastic “ghost of Christmas past!” In this one, Bob Crachett is her former love interest (an interesting twist) and his son, Tim (Ebony’s Godson, by the way), has a mysterious illness. “Chilli” Thomas of TLC plays Marli Jacob (get it?). And Ernie is her lawyer/fianancial guy… who just happens to be embezzeling from her! Lots of fun and funny lines… great Christmas songs, too. Enjoy it… I ALWAYS do!
A funny line… “Stop being SO hauntable!”
This one stars Nancy McKeon (Jo from “Facts of Life”) as Jane, a stressed-out ad exec, who, on her way to a company Christmas party, has a car accident and is knocked into an alternate reality where she is not only married but has two kids! Lots of crazy stuff happens, including serving Christmas dinner to the homeless at the church where she is head of the Alter Guild and has cooked all the food… btw: she doesn’t cook, do charity, or go to church in her “other” life. A special treat… Dixie Carter plays Jane’s mother. I just LOVE this one and watch it every time it’s on… even if I’ve already seen it during the holidays!!! Lots of fun… a must see… enjoy!
Great lines from the movie… “What is this? Where is my coat? Did you undress me?!”
This one stars Jennifer Grey as a photographer on her way to Aspen to surprise her fiance for Christmas… her Italian fiance! She has lots of trouble trying to get there, but meets, Tom, a nice man (okay, so she doesn’t think he’s very nice, at first… but Clark Gregg is SO good in this), and his daughter (played by Megan Park… who is awesome, by the way) on the way… spends time with them and his mother… and well… then the Christmas magic happens!!! Check out this crazy road-trip… lots of fun… and lots of funny lines, too… enjoy! :-)
A great line from the movie… “You, two, eat your moral vegetables. Tom and I’ll eat some dead flesh.”
Okay, so my favorite movie of all time is… “Somewhere in Time” with Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, and Christopher Plummer. Just in case you’ve never seen it… it’s the story of a young playwright, Richard Collier (Christopher Reeve) who is approached by an old woman after the opening of one of his plays. She gives him a pocket watch and asks him to come back to her! Of course, he’s never seen her before and doesn’t quite know what to make of the whole bizarre incident. Years later he takes a trip (because he has writer’s block) and he runs across a photo taken of a young actress (played by Jane Seymour) from 1912. He’s captivated by her and vows to learn all he can about her. That’s when he finds out that the young actress is actually the old woman from years before! Now, he must travel back in time to meet and woo her! Of course they do meet and they fall in love, but there are “complications.” Be sure to check out this wonderful movie sometime… Somewhere in Time, that is!.
A great line from the movie… “I am not a doormat. Do not attempt to wipes your boots on me!”
I am a 50 something gay man living in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. My partner and I have been together 21 years… we have 3 dogs, 1 bird, 1 indoor-cat, 3 barn-cats, and 14 goats. I’m inviting you to come along on a journey of self-discovery.
Okay… so this is my first post on my new blog! I have made entries to my Journal page ( http://www.dgregdenton.com/journal.html ) in the past, but no more! I am joining the 21st century and now I’m “blogging.” So check back often and feel free to bookmark it… you never know what you’re gonna get!!! Thanks, David-Greg
Okay, so this is one of my favorite things about this time of year! I LOVE watching Christmas movies. I know some are pretty hokie, but some are really great! I’ve already watched one of my favorites on Lifetime… “Will you Merry Me?” It’s about a Christian boy who gets engaged to a Jewish girl, then brings everyone home to his mom and dad’s for the holidays. Of course, mayhem ensues, but it is SO cute that I just know you’ll LOVE it, too! A special treat… Wendy Malick plays the perfect jewish mother! So be sure to check it out if you get the chance.
A great line from the movie… “If I’m the mayor [of Crazytown], then you’re the governor and the president!”
