Kick started the New Year by watching “Christmas on 5th Avenue” (2021) - a classic grumpy / sunshine pairing! Also a diverse cast and iconic New York City landmarks.

Rating: 3.5 stars out of five (good)

Thoroughly enjoyed “Christmas with You”. Some not so traditional themes, also touches of Latinx /Hispanic culture; a mix of English and Spanish; and a diverse cast, which included some plus size actresses.

Today’s #Christmas 🎥 was “Your Christmas or Mine?” (2022)

Some British tropes - different social classes; fish out of water kind of set up. Great that it wasn’t at all London-centric! Diverse and multicultural cast - another YAY!

Rating: 3.5 stars out of five (good)

@RomComLove I preferred it to “The Holiday”! My favourite so far is “Holidate” - have you seen that one?

So we have been watching a few Christmas movies over the break. Yesterday we watch Nativity and Nativity 2.
Nativity is improbable but charming and very satisfying with great performances all around.
Nativity 2: Danger in the Manager, is mostly a series of safeguarding failures, around an improbable journey to Wales. David Tennant gives a nice performance as both the "put-upon" teacher and his nasty twin, but it's pretty thin gruel.
Overall disappointing.

Death On The Nile (1978)

What’s Christmas without a little murder? Ustinov’s first Poirot, and he instantly made it his own. The joyous 70s who’s who and who was, filmed on location, and every minute an absolute joy even though you’ve seen it a thousand times before. It never gets boring. Special praise for Maggie Smith in her first Poirot, who is a delight and a bomb for Lansbury who is hammy from start to exit.

Tonight the partner chose Black Christmas (1974).

Built a big Christmas film list in Plex, and have been going through it each day. The partner loves horror and that was the main addition in that genre, though Cronos (1993) is also included.

We have a new addition to the pantheon of #christmasFilms alongside #RareExports and #TrollHunter
#Troll on Netflix is excellent.

Yes, Die Hard is a Christmas film and so is Die Hard 2. #DieHard #DieHard2 #Christmas #Christmasfilms

Y'all the joke in Home Alone 2 about Kevin saying "he said if I go in there I'd never feel like a real man" about walking in on his uncle in the shower??? I was today years old when I realised what that meant??? I'm 33... #christmasfilms

It's not Christmas unless you watch the Snowman. #Christmas #TheSnowman #Christmasfilms

The great Christmas film argument, has been going on supposedly since 336.
