So if you believe in Father Christmas, children, like your Uncle Billy does, buy my festering turd of a record

Date: Sunday 9th December
Film: Love Actually (2003)
Director: Richard Curtis
Starring: Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson and Bill Nighy
Running time: 02 hours, 15 minutes
Rating: 8/10

This film is terrible but I love it. There is nothing that makes me feel more Christmassy than Andrew Lincoln being slightly stalky before declaring his love with cards (still would though).

It wouldn't be Christmas without watching this. It's not the best Christmas film (it's missing Kermit), it's not even the best Richard Curtis film, but it does still make me laugh in places, and not just because of Hugh Grant's dancing.

I'm supposed to get all dully-eyed and mushy. Well, forget it, pal, you got the wrong guy!

Date: Sunday 2nd December
Film: Scrooged (1988)
Director: Richard Donner

Running time: 01 hour, 41 minutes
Rating: 7/10

Christmas and Bill Murray, what's not to love?

The story is one we seen plenty of times, but this modern take on A Christmas Carol is well done. Anything that mixes Bill Murray with ghosts gets my vote.

Plus, Bobcat Goldthwait pops up, and he instantly makes any film 20% more wonderful.
