Arthur Christmas (Sarah Smith)
*** - There have been a lot of films on the Santa Claus legend. Some are
better than others. This is one of the better ones. I was genuinely
surprised by this one. I wasn't expecting much since we've all been here
before but there's enough charm, wit, humor and visual delights that it
makes it all seem fresh, probably due to the fact that it infused a
certain British sensibility to the proceedings. I like it better than The Santa Clause and Elf.
The Seventh Seal (Ingmar Bergman) **** - This is actually the second time I've seen this film so this is a rewatch since I own it on DVD. Yes, it's every bit as haunting and occasionally disturbing as when I first saw it but I also took note at how darkly humorous it is at times. It's a doom, gloom landmark film. It's not my favorite Bergman film but it's in the Top 5.

Arthur Christmas does look kind of good, but can it really be better than The Santa Claus?
i want a yukon cornelius movie
Thanks for the Round-Up as usually buddy, I was originally extremely sceptical when I saw a poster for Arthur Christmas but now I don't know... I am sorely tempted to go check it out. There's no way it can beat the all time greatest Christmas film Bad Santa though!
Yessss the Seventh Seal is awesome.
I watched The Seventh Seal, but I thing I have to watch it again.
The Seventh Seal is such a great movie.
The Sevent Seal is a classic, great movie.
Probably wont buy Arthur Christmas, but if I ever come across it I might just check it out.
