"Manah Manah" To You Too (or Tron Lives!)

For some reason, NPR contributing film critic Mark Jenkins saw fit to not simply review "Tron: Legacy," but to "sark" all over it and its fans. Jenkins opens with the (tee-hee) clever quip, "In Scandinavian countries, it was once common to bury a fish until it rotted, then dig it up and eat it," and closes by comparing the original "Tron" to "Howard the Duck." He also claims the 1982 CGI breakthrough movie probably never got a sequel until now because "nobody wanted it."

Welcome To My Brain

So I've been struggling to figure out just how to kick this thing off. And suddenly I found myself with a great post that started as a comment to a friend's FB question: What are your Top Five Christmas movies?

This is REALLY hard to narrow down so I did ten (and a bonus). My list includes some movies that people will NOT consider Christmas movies, but I think they are. (I provided some insight into my choices too.)
