Favorite Christmas Songs


It's the holidays, right? So, when everybody gets out of work or out of school for the day or out of a final, you feel tired and weary and want to recline on a soft bed with hot cocoa or coffee and a dessert. Well, again, it is the holidays, so I listen to Christmas carols or Christmas songs now and again. I know that this is a movie blog and it is irrelevant, but I want to have fun and share with you my favorite 15 (or maybe more) Christmas songs along with the singers or orchestra that are provided.

1. The Christmas Song (Nat King Cole)

2. Christmas Eve/Sarajevo (Trans Siberian Orchestra)

3. We Three Kings (Celtic Woman, I like the song in general. It does not matter who sings it.)

4. Happy X-Mas (War is Over) (John Lennon, but I like Celine Dion's and Sarah McLachlan's versions too)

5. It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year (Andy Williams)

6. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (Kenny G, but there are lot of good renditions)

7. White Christmas (The Drifters, I could not post Bing Crosby's version for some reason.)

8. All I Want for Christmas is You (Mariah Carey)

9. It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas (Johnny Mathis)

10. Cold December Night (Michael Buble)


11. Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree (Brenda Lee)
12. Last Christmas (I like Wham!'s version, but, hey, there are a lot of Glee fans, so I'll post that one.)

13. Grown Up Christmas List (Amy Grant)

14. Sleigh Ride (John Williams)

15. (3-way tie) Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

O Holy Night (Josh Groban)

Believe (Josh Groban)

But, hey, there are a lot of good ones. Please, don't be afraid to generously comment on what your favorite Christmas songs are.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007), PG-13, ★★1/2

We're about halfway through the Harry Potter franchise and this is the turning point in which I found the material to be darker and more mature when the storyline surrounding Lord Voldemort grows. And, also we see another new and fresh direction as David Yates comes into the spotlight to finish off the franchise with the last four movies. I remember watching the trailer in the theaters and I was excited for this movie as it was mostly action-packed. The bottom line is despite the camaraderie between the young Hogwarts characters and a real-good action sequence in the climax, it is a choppily edited and more grounded movie that does not provoke much magic or memorable scenery. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is enduring a hot summer and Dudley (Harry Melling) provokes him by making fun of the fact that Harry is haunted by Cedric's death from The Goblet of Fire and also his mom's death. As a storm approaches, demeanors come into the tunnel sucking Dudley's so...

The Best 10 Talking Movie Animals

I have to admit when thinking about doing a list of the best movie talking animals, live-action or animated, I thought to myself: "This may be an easy list to do." I was certainly proven wrong because when researching every likable character, it was down to about 25-30. What that proves is that animators, storytellers and filmmakers work real hard on not just its special effects, hand drawn or computer animations, but its persona. How do we, the audience or the viewers, connect with a talking animal? How do you all get us to like the animal? About each of the characters I list have a different personality and charm that we have immediately or have grown to adjust to. Plus, I thought that this was a fun list to do bringing back some of the childhood talking animals that I grew up to watch and also maybe show some of much little cousins the characters that are lovable. 10. Mr. Fox (The Fantastic Mr. Fox) 9. Po (Kung Fu Panda series) 8. Baloo (The Jungle Book) 7...
