Sooo today on Blogmas we're going to talk about different movies and songs that... I'm not too sure about. I think it's hard to judge Christmas Movies because these are things I loved as a kid and... I feel like I can't judge those that well and I can't judge Christmas movies that Harshly because I really really like Christmas.
Jack Frost
Soo... I'm not a huge fan of Sentient Snowman... it took me a little while to warm up to Olaf... anyone else isn't really my fave. I'm sure I'll get to Frosty in this too...
Brief synopsis... this singer named Jack Frost has a happy life with his wife and his son... although he's kind of struggling at being a father because he travels a lot as a musician and he just really wants to make it as a musician... and he keeps promising his son he'll be at his games and stuff... and then he doesn't show up... and it's kind of sad that when he keeps promising to get it together and he thinks he's about to get his big break... he dies.
Sooo... like that sucks. It kind of held my attention when I was watching it... up until Jack turned into a Snowman... and then I just kind of stopped... so maybe this is an unfair review since I didn't watch the full thing... but eh? I think if it didn't hold my attention when literally the whole plot of the movie started... it can't be that good.
Sooo yeah... I don't think this movie aged well partially. I think the CGI Technology was actually advanced for the time... but it looks bad now. And they say the snowman looks like George Clooney because he was supposed to play Jack Frost... but the snowman literally doesn't look like anything other than a Snowman. And Kelly Preston, who plays Mrs. Frost is INTO him lol.
Also... Jack Frost wanted to be a great musician and wasn't as concerned about being a great father... and that makes me feel less sympathy for him and I just feel bad for this kid that's idolizing him and he's just not delivering lol.
Soooo overall... it's not good. Will I watch it again next year? Probably.
I won the DVD in a giveaway a few years ago... I don't know if I want to give the DVD away or not. I like having a good selection of Christmas movies... but what are the chances I'll sit down and watch this... maybe for a good laugh because it's bad? But it's not enjoyable like Glitter- it's just kind of hard to watch. Idk.
The Year Without a Santa Clause
I loveee this movie. It is sooo cute and fun to watch! I thought this was really funny as a kid... but as a grown up I just think it's kind of heartwarming and it's very fun to watch. It's sweet that the kids want to give Santa Clause a present... there are some great songs... I like that Mrs. Clause wanted to help and dress up as Santa.
I like Mickey Rooney as Santa too... he's great.
Plus Heat Mizer, Snow Mizer and Mother Nature? Sooo funny!
This is one of the first movies I like to see!
Disney's A Christmas Carol
So this isn't my favorite animated movie... and I've found it a bit creepy in the past... but now I have it on... Scrooge just met The Ghost of Christmas Present... this is pretty much A Christmas Carol but animated... but animated in such a way that it looks very realistic...
I actually don't dislike it. I'm a fan of Jim Carey's acting... he's especially good when he plays multiple characters or characters with different personalities... so yeah. It's a good story they told in an interesting way... but this is the scariest Christmas Carol I think... I've only seen this once when it first came out and I liked it okay then... but I think when I saw it in 3D it was better... this is one to invest in if you already have a 3d tv... this is worth it... but it's a little weird and not as good as A Muppet Christmas Carol or Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol... but it's still good.
This btw is not the disney movie with Scrooge McDuck... that one I LOVE!
Santa Claus is Coming To Town
This is a good movie... but at the same time- compared to some others it's a little weak in the song department. I think they might play Santa Claus is Coming To Town at the end... but the songs aren't Christmasy. I think The Year Without A Santa Claus is sooo much better because that has some really great Christmas songs. This one has songs... but nothing christmasy. It's a little ehhh in that department. Plus it gets a little lazy at the end... idk. I'm going to be harsh and say this is only good because of Christmas.
A Charlie Brown Christmas
This is good... my favorite thing to watch first in the season... it's definitely not just Christmas that makes it good.
I think that's all I have for right now! I'll update you more throughout the season!
Byeee!
