If you missed The Muppet Christmas Carol or Bad Santa, today is the day to check them out. It’s difficult to imagine two more different movies, but each in their own way provides a heavy dose of seasonal spirit. Christmas Carol starts at 5 p.m., Santa at 7:15.
While you might not think of The Apartment as a Christmas movie, most of the film occurs between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Besides it’s one of the best films ever made, regardless of the time of year. Jack Lemmon stars as C.C. “Bud” Baxter, a worker bee […]
Trading Places may not be the first movie you think of during Christmas, though it happens at this time of the year. Two elderly gazilllionaires, Randolph and Mortimer Duke (Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche), make a wager for “the usual amount”: Is heredity or environment more important in […]

Bad Santa (2003, 91 min.) is very naughty, but it isn’t bad. While it treads the well-worn path of pointing out the commercialization of Christmas and the hypocrisy of many who celebrate it, Bad Santa adds a freshness to the seasonal critique genre. For those who haven’t seen […]
