THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE CHRISTMAS CHOIR
Three weeks before
Christmas, workaholic accountant Peter Brockman (Jason Gedrick) is dumped by his
fiancée, Jill Crosby (Cindy Sampson), because of his non participation in their
lives.
He metaphorically
drowns his sorrows, drinking a soda, in a piano bar and gets talking with the
lounge's "volunteer" pianist and singer Bob (Tyrone Benskin) who plays
for tips.
They discuss their
love of music and forgotten dreams of youth.
Bob invited Peter to
his home for dinner with his family, but his home turned out to be a homeless
shelter run by Sister Agatha (Rhea Perlman) and his family were a group of
homeless men.
After being introduced
to Bobs “family” a jam session ensued.
His visit to the home
served as an epiphany and he suggested they form a choir in order that the men
could raise a little extra pocket money for the holidays.
The choir faced many
obstacles along the way and there were many ups and downs.
Alongside his work
with the choir he also met Marilyn (Marianne Farley) who worked in the subway
kiosk and a relationship develops between them and she is also instrumental in
reconciling Peter with his alcoholic father Henry Brockman (Michael Sarrazin).
This is a very nice
Holiday tale which is based on a true story and is most enjoyable.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – WILL YOU MERRY ME?
Despite the silly
title it’s actually a very enjoyable film.
It’s about Rebecca
Fine (Vikki Krinsky) a Jewish girl. From an upper class Los Angeles family and
Henry Kringle (Tommy Lioutas), from a choir-singing, church going, dyed in the
wool traditionalist family from the Midwest who are in love.
Not only that they
become engaged just before Christmas and as a result the Fine’s agree to delay
their vacation in Aspen and meet the Kringle’s the week of Hanukah just before
Christmas in Madison, Wisconsin.
Which is when the
humour really starts as the two cultures collide and despite both sides good
intentions and their trying to respect each other’s' traditions, it turns out
to be a bumpy ride.
The film is definitely
at its funniest when the main protagonists, Suzie Fine (Wendie Malick) and
Marilyn Kringle (Cynthia Stevenson) butt antlers.
Very enjoyable and
well worth a watch you will soon forget the silly title.
THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – LOVE AT THE CHRISTMAS TABLE
Family friends Sam
Reed (Dustin Milligan) and Kat Patton (Danica McKellar) spend every Christmas
Eve at the Children's Table from the age of three.
Over the years they
grew up together, sharing the highs and lows of young adulthood.
But at the age of
thirty, Sam realizes that Kat is the one...but he's afraid that the past will
get in the way.
A real gem of a
Christmas movie and Danica McKellar is an absolute delight.
THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE CASE FOR CHRISTMAS
This is a variation on
the classic “Miracle On 34th Street” which has Santa facing a class-action suit
for disappointing children at Christmas.
As a result he hires,
widower and single parent, Michael Sherman (Dean Cain) as his lawyer. He chose
Michael in order to both defend the lawsuit and to give Santa the chance to
bring Michael out of his emotional malaise.
Although it doesn’t in
anyway live up to “Miracle On 34th Street” it is still a very enjoyable piece
of Christmas entertainment.
Santa is portrayed
exceptionally well by George Buza while the love interest Lauren, (Rachel
Blanchard) is an absolute delight.
Also the hero’s
daughter Lily Sherman (Helen Colliander) gives a particularly mature
performance.
All round it is an
excellent movie although the Elves are a little annoying.
THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – INSTANT MESSAGE
Gina (Marla Sokoloff)
and Seth (Patrick J. Adams) have been pen pals for thirteen years and over the
years they graduated from handwritten letters and started corresponding by
email, but they were insecure with who they were as people and had decided not
to exchange telephone numbers or photographs, instead they sent photos of their
more outgoing best friends, Ellen (Lindy Booth) and Matt (Jonathan Cherry),
passing them off as themselves without telling either Ellen or Matt.
Each has been there
for the other through every major event that has happened in their lives, and
as such, they have both fallen for the other without either admitting it to
themselves or having the nerve to tell the other.
Living in different
cities - Boston and Denver - they have never even seriously considered meeting
in person, until when Seth, a junior executive at a toy company, is heading to
Boston just before Christmas to attend a toy convention, which Gina, a
struggling reporter stuck in "obits"
So with them both in
Boston they allowed their surrogates to meet in their places with amusing
consequences.
