Of course with the assortment of film blogs/sites out there now the rules have changed a bit. <br /><br />A little over ten years ago I worked at a small Mom-n-Pop video store just south of Dallas (where I live now) and I'll never forget the smirk on my face when I read one certain blurb. It was on the box for Stephen King's Night Flier and the quote read, "startling, nonstop horror..." - Ft. Worth Star Telegram. I laughed so hard. It must have been a pretty lame movie if they had to look all the way to Fort Worth, Texas' paper for the blurb.Damonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028349028380872442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-40819527270571808382009-11-27T19:44:39.935-08:002009-11-27T19:44:39.935-08:00I blogged about that cruise your dad was on.

I am half Jewish (we only lit 4 candles on Hannukah). <br />My mom was an introspective person--she never talked about her family and their beliefs or lack thereof. She was a convert and it this was before she knew my dad, so not one of convenience. (My knowledge of Judaism was gleaned from reading the holiday issues of "Highlights for Children" and watching Robby Benson in "The Chosen.")<br /><br />Which brings me to my question. Back in the day, my family watched Bing Crosby movies (Going My Way, Holiday Inn, etc. etc) The Bishop's Wife, etc. And we looked forward to The Grinch and other animated specials. I know many non Christians go out to movies on Christmas (and have Chinese food). But are there any holiday themed movies you would watch as part of the festive season? I could only think tangentially of "For Your Consideration" which features the making of a movie about Purim. And that's kind of new.Abie'sIrishRosenoreply@blogger.com
