Let’s admit up front that two of the coolest things in the world are Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol and the Muppets. So it is humanly impossible to dislike The Muppet Christmas Carol [4].

[6] Bernie [7], a based-on-fact study of a small-town eccentric now serving a life sentence in a Texas prison, will be celebrated years from now as one of actor Jack Black’s finest moments.
[9] Some of the science on display in When Worlds Collide [10] looks suspect today... but then we’ve had 60 years of advancement since the film was made. What still rings true are the ways in which humans react.
[12] Every year seems to bring another filmic variation on Dickens’ immortal A Christmas Carol [13]. But none of them has succeeded in surpassing the 61-year-old British version starring Alastair Sim.
[15] Darling Companion [16] isn’t earth-shaking. Nor is it terribly original - in fact, it fairly creaks. But darned if Lawrence Kasdan’s latest didn’t leave me feeling very, very good.
