It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

-
For the past wee while, I haven't been as active on my blog as I would like, due to the pressure of school work. However I will get back into my blog over the festive season.

I will be able to binge watch movies on a daily basis over the holiday period. Needless to say some of these movies will be Christmas movies. I absolutely love Christmas movies. Here are my 10 favourites to date:


 10. Nativity

09. Dr Seuss' The Grinch

08. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

07. Daddy's Home

06. The Muppet Christmas Carol

05. The Nightmare Before Christmas

04. It's a Wonderful Life

03. Elf

02. How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966)

01. Home Alone
Home Alone, part of a family Christmas Eve tradition.
Home Alone, directed by Christopher Columbus, is simply the greatest ever Christmas movie. With a breakout performance from Macaulay Culkin that is world class and two extremely comedic characters in the form of Harry and Marv (The Wet Bandits), brilliantly played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern respectively. The movie is perfect in every way.

 Every year I watch Home Alone with my family on Christmas Eve and I hope it will remain part of my Christmas tradition for many years to come.

    Not traditionally regarded as Christmas films, but Paddington and Paddington 2 are pretty damn near perfect family films for this time of year.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

UK Release Date: 12 December 2018  Certification: PG  Director: Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, Rodney Rothman  Cast: Nicolas Cage, Kimiko Glenn, Jake Johnson, Zoe Kravitz, Shameik Moore, John Mulaney, Chris Pine, Liev Schreiber, Hailee Steinfeld  Rating:   94 % I'm also a huge fan of Spider-Man on the PS4. Review: One of the greatest strengths of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse is the animation. The style means the movie is the closest thing to a comic book. All the Spider people have different animation styles - Spider-Ham looks like something from Looney Tunes, Peni Parker looks like Anime, Spider-Noir is black and white and Miles looks like he was lifted straight out of a Marvel comic. The only thing I didn't like about the animation was the way  Kingpin was portrayed - he was very wide. I don't mind the animators sticking to his comic book appearance, but really, he didn't have to be that huge! There have been a ...

Hopefully the next decade will be just as good for movies. Look out for my most anticipated movies of 2020 blog post in the next couple of days.

Isle of Dogs

UK Release Date: 30 March 2018 Certification: PG Director: Wes Anderson Cast: Bob Balaban, Bryan Cranston, Greta Gerwig, Jeff Goldblum, Scarlett Johansson, Harvey Keitel, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Koyu Rankin, Liev Schreiber, Tilda Swinton Rating: 65% Toby Dogge enjoyed Isle of Dogs too. Review: For an animated movie Isle of Dogs boasts an incredible cast, with acting legends like Jeff Goldblum and Bill Murray, to up and coming stars like Koyu Rankin and Greta Gerwig.  In Isle of Dogs , Wes Anderson relies upon a stop-motion animation technique that he first used in Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) to create a story that is both sombre and heart-warming at the same time. The movie is about a Japanese boy called Atari, who’s parents pass away in an accident. He goes to live with his uncle who is the mayor of the fictional city, Megasaki. The mayor banishes all dogs to Trash Island and the remainder of the movie tells of Atari's daring rescue mission to save his dog,...
