Film and Theatre Lover!
Everyone knows the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, Bah Humbug. Who on Christmas Eve is visited by three ghosts who will make him question his life and attitude towards those around him. Will he be able to understand Christmas before it is too late?
This is now a early thing at Let’s Go To The Movies by adding in more reviews and posts that have been made to do with Christmas.
Here you can see the reviews for Christmas time films which are already on Let’s Go To The Movies, and you may well see more which I will watch over the festive period!

Back in 2010 . . . I completed my Top 10 list of Christmas films – Top 10 Christmas films
Take a look at things that make a good Christmas film here.
A lot of blog posts and talk is currently surrounding Christmas films, so I decided that I would think about what makes a good Christmas film. Especially as it’s not that we get new quality Christmas films every year it always seems to be older now classic films which everyone makes sure they watch at some point in the build up to Christmas. These must have key elements which make everyone love them and want to watch them year in year out. I think that does help make these films extra special, as long as you get the formula right recent times have been more Christmas Turkeys rather than classics.
A selfish TV executive who is in charge of a live version of A Christmas Carol on Christmas Eve is visited himself by three ghosts, all wanting to show him the errors in his ways.
An animated version of the classic tale A Christmas Carol, but with this being an animated film we have the addition of two mice who are along for the story.
It’s that time of year again . . . time to watch all of those Christmas films! I thought a small recap of the films I have already reviewed on my blog and the Top 10 Christmas films list I completed last year would be a good way to start and then films which have not been reviewed yet will be added onto the blog! Possibly with more Top 10 lists if I can think of some to do!

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) Review
1st December which means we are now officially allowed to watch Christmas movies again (and attempt to get in the Christmas spirit). I reviewed quite a few Christmas films last year, and will probably watch most of them again this year/ After all some of them are my favorite Christmas films. Missed loads though, so be ready for more Christmas reviews if I manage to catch the films of course.
Love Actually I also started doing blogs on the love shared between characters, Billy Mack and Joe. Harry, Karen & Mia.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
Hopefully I will have some seasonal top 10 lists as well!
Which Christmas films will you be watching first this holiday season?
Onto another weeks review!

Katie at the Stories That Really Mattered posted about Jim Carrey being an underrated actor
MadHatter at Dark of the Matinee made an interesting post about Movie Snobs
The other day I posted this blog Cineworld: 3D Price Change however after going to see A Christmas Carol in 3D on Monday. I read the news article on the cineworld website wrong. It is still cheaper than before . . . only if you take your glasses back and not by much really.
It is 1.90 for adults if you have 3D Glasses
1.30 for Unlimited and Children
The 80p is extra on top of those prices for those who need to buy 3D glasses.
So, I was totally wrong in my last blog as it is not really that much cheaper.
Charles Dicken’s classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge is given an animated Disney look, and if you so wish 3D (2D is still available). I just had to go for the 3D option in an attempt to try to make my mind up whether I like it better or not. Scrooge is taken on a journey of redemption by three ghosts, the ghost of Christmas past, present and future. Going back looking at his life as it was, how it is today and how it will not be for very much longer. But can he be convinced to change his ways?
