Xmas DVDs approcheth!

Posted by Christine Miguel Nov 10, 2007

A couple of new Christmas releases on DVD for family viewing:

Deck the Halls - the battle of the light show as two neighbours attempt to out do each other's Christmas light display in this over the top comedy. Special Feature include Audio Commentary and 3 featurettes showing the construction of the houses, the design and execution of the finished lighting display and how cast and crew shot a winter Christmas film in the middle of July.

Jingle All the Way - if those recall the craze of Tickle Me Elmo may appreciate the lengths 2 fathers go to get the perfect gift, Turbo man. In the newly released Family Fun Edition, Special Features include the extended Director's cut not seen in theatres, 2 featurettes showing the making of the film and the Turbo Man: Behind the Mask mini-documentary, plus two Set Top Games: Christmas Rush and Guess The Gift.

Also, may I also suggest some other Christmas classics available on DVD:

The Muppets Christmas Carol - it's a tradition in my house to always watch this film and sing along with Kermit and Michael Cain in this hilarious adaptation of the Dickens classic.

Love Actually - I know the film is kind of all over the place and may confuse the children a wee bit, there is enough entertainment for everyone to enjoy.

For some reason, I think the Sound of Music is also a Christmas film - but I know it really isn't.
