This is the desert-island choice of the many versions of A Christmas Carol, with a magnificent, full-bodied portrayal of Ebenezer Scrooge by Alastair Sim that leaves everyone else in the dust. Lean and direct, this film's version of the story wastes no time trying to impress viewers with the magical nature of the spirits' visitations. Director Brian Desmond Hurst keeps the focus on Scrooge's life story, beautifully simplifying and underscoring the theme of lost women with a haunting musical refrain from the folk song "Barbara Allen." Sim's commitment to the role is at times astonishing; his Scrooge's Christmas-morning ecstasy is a marvel of giddy technique. Watch for Patrick Macnee (Steed in The Avengers) as the young Jacob Marley--the actor made his screen debut in this 1951 production. --Tom Keogh On the DVD This ultimate collectors' edition is crammed with special features, on both discs. Amazon exclusive video: George Cole, who played theyoung Ebenezer Scrooge, reflects.Watch here Find out what's new on this restored version of A Christmas Carol. Watch here Never-before-seen U.S. andU.K. trailers. Watch here Film (and Charles Dickens) fans won't want to miss a single screen. The audio commentary by Marcus Hearn and George Cole adds depth and perspective to Sim's amazing performance, and the groundbreaking special effects for the time. Cole also gives a homey remembrance of working with Sim during World War II and living in the English countryside to avoid the Blitz. One of the most compelling extras is a short bio of George Mintner, the film's executive producer who would go on to found his own successful distribution company, Renown Pictures. An unlikely film mogul, the British Mintner was shy and bookish, but managed to build a reputable mini-studio in the '50s, out of the Hollywood limelight. He produced mostly B-movies, though after A Christmas Carol (originally titled Scrooge), he produced another Dickens adaptation, The Pickwick Papers. There's a great mini-bio of Dickens, who grew up in the poverty that later fascinated him in his writings. Other extras include the colorized version (what were people thinking back in the '80s?), cast bios, original trailers, and a features that more film companies might want to consider, an optional narration for the blind. Nothing is left out for film fans--God bless us, every one.--A.T. Hurley Beyond A Christmas Carol 1938 version starring Reginald Owen 1984 version starring George C.

Biblical Costume Patterns For A Nativity Play

Julia — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:24:29 +0000

When putting on a Christmas pageant nativity play one of the most important things to do is to arrange costumes for the players. You will need costumes for the leading roles, especially Mary, Joseph and the Three Wise Men. Other players also need costumes, such as shepherds, angels and perhaps (if you include them) King Herod and his soldiers.

You can buy children's Nativity costumes and similar ready-made biblical costumes for adults. This saves time and trouble but incurs an expense. Simple biblical costumes are not difficult to make, but it does help to start with a sewing pattern.

Here are some sources of suitable low-cost biblical costume patterns. With these patterns anybody with sewing skills could soon prepare the costumes needed to put on a nativity play.

Bakugan Battle Brawlers For Boys And Girls

Julia — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:47:54 +0000

A modern version of marbles, Bakugan Battle Brawlers are spheres rather like marbles that players roll onto a board. The board is magnetic and the spheres open up to become various kinds of monsters when they land. The scores depend on the G-Force of the Bakugan and where it lands.

The game is derived from a children's TV program, and is exciting to play and very popular with both boys and girls, especially in the 5-12 age group.

Some Bakugan are more are desirable to own than others, and, of course, you need a board to play.

A starter set is a good gift to start out with, but children who already have a set may very much appreciate an expansion pack or more individual Bakugan to add to their collection. There are also launchers and other accessories available.

The Nativity Story Movie On DVD

Julia — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:54:42 +0000

The Nativity Story DVD

With Christmas approaching, Christian families will want to include a reminder of the Christian origins of Christmas somewhere in their celebrations.

To this end, the Christmas nativity story is traditionally retold as part of Christmas activities. Church and other Christian groups will often put on a Christmas pageant or play to portray the story.

A more modern alternative is to sit down and watch a movie telling the Christmas nativity story. This is also a more convenient option for many families.

The 2006 version of The Nativity Story stands out as a well made movie that keeps the traditional story pretty much intact. It stars Keisha Castle-Hughes as Mary and Oscar Isaac as Joseph. The movie covers the full story including the dramatic tension in the background of the attempts by King Herod to find and destroy the baby Jesus, including depicting the massacre of the innocents at Bethlehem that he ordered. The violence in the movie is bloodless and it is rated PG. It is intended for family viewing with parental guidance, though perhaps it is a little frightening in places and so not well suited for very young children.

In addition to showing the DVD to your own family, you might consider it to be a suitable Christmas gift to give to family and friends with whom you would like to share the Christmas story.

Hannah Montana Dolls Top Tween Girl Gift Wish Lists

Editor — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:06:58 +0000

Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana

New Hannah Montana dolls are becoming rivals for Barbie's long held top spot in the doll market. The pre-teen or tween girl market (ages 9-12) are driving the trend with their gift wish lists, spurred on by the ongoing Hannah Montana stage concert and movie promotions by Disney.

For girls in the tweenies age group, it has been easy to identify with the both the fictional story and the real life success of the lead star, Miley Cyrus. Fiction and autobiography become confused, or you might say fiction becomes reality. As Hannah Montana, Miley has become a rock star with a huge following, especially from young girls who can see her as "one of them".

As with Barbie, there are variations of the Hannah Montana doll available, from Hannah Montana singing doll concert rock star performers through to "memorable moment" styles representing a celebrity lifestyle and Hannah Montana movie dolls. Clothing variations, dressing room settings, living and bedroom settings and other accessories round out the play options for the dolls. There is even a doll representing her boyfriend Jake in a "sweethearts" set, which calls to mind Ken in the Barbie doll collection.

A Hannah Montana dress up doll gift is sure to thrill many a young a girl in the tween age group on Christmas morning.

A Hannah Montana guitar continues to be one of the favorite gifts for tweenies inspired by the rock star success story of Miley Cyrus, and lower priced gift options include music from the best of Hannah Montana albums.

Santa's Little Helpers

Don't leave your pets out this Christmas.

Sure, you could give them a few gourmet treats on Christmas Day (but be careful about the chicken and turkey bones, as they could hurt them). But what a lot of pets like most is to be the center of attention.

What better way to have your pet admired by all your family and guests than to dress it up in a Christmas costume. You could just make it a special collar, but you can also add a hat, or get a lot of laughs with the Little Santa's Helper costume in the picture to the left.

Dressing up is not just for dogs. Cats can join the party too, with costume variations for them.

See our Pet Costume Store for a lot more pet costume ideas.
