While the central message of Charles Dickens' classic A CHRISTMAS CAROL is that money isn't everything, this inert cartoon version--with its lifeless animation and limp songs--appears to have been churned out simply to make a buck. On Christmas Eve, miser Ebeneezer Scrooge (voice of Tim Curry) bristles at the suggestion that his clerk, Bob Cratchit (voice of Michael York), get an entire day off for Christmas. When Scrooge's nephew Fred invites him for dinner, Scrooge decline... read more

  • What was the first Christmas ... | Movie News | 12/22/2005
    Question: What was the first Christmas movie?Answer: Oh, how I love a "first" question! While I know better than to definitively declare any film the first of anything, there have been Christmas-themed movies for almost as long as there have been movies. Early films on a holiday theme include the shorts Christmas Eve, Christmas Morning and The Christmas Tree Party (all 1897). Jolly old St. Nick takes center stage in Santa Claus and Visit of St. Nicholas (both 1897); Santa Claus (1899); Georges Melies' Le Rêve de Noël (The Christmas Dream, 1900); Edwin S.

  • Any scoop on Smallville? | Today's News: Our Take | 12/7/2005
    Question: Any scoop on Smallville? Answer: Tomorrow night's holiday-themed episode takes a page from A Christmas Carol and shows Lex what his future could be like should he decide to take the good, honorable path. (Translation: No cheating on AA "contests.") This alternate reality is set seven years into the future with Lex happily married (with children) to Lana and free from daddy's iron grip. (Clark is with Chloe, although it's not clear whether they're married or living in sin.) I don't want to give away the whole enchilada, but TV Guide's resident Smallville junkie Rich Sands wanted me to tell AA readers "not to miss the last five minutes" as it "represents a major turning point for Lex." That Rich Sands is sounding more like a network promo exec every frakkin' day. read more
