Elf (2003 film)

Oh Elf i'm not gonna lied here i have a soft spot on the film i remember watching it when i was around 6 years old and it was when i discover Will ferrell who i can't help but remember watching the movie at that time. It's one of those classic Christmas movies so i'm gonna give it a go. 



The movie begins with Buddy who's in a orphan and it's christmas eve and he seeks his way inside of santa's bag and live his life as a elf in Santa's Workshop play by Will Ferrell however he isn't working well in the workshop and his talents aren't being useful, his adoptive father papa elf (played by bob newhart) tells him that he was adoptive and explains to him that his dad live in New York City the film explains that his biological mother and father put him in adoptive and his mother died sometime after he was born the film does explain it. Buddy left his goodbyes to Santa and the elfs and made his way to New York. He reaches to New York and Empire State Building he does meet his dad played by James Caan his dad is Walter Hobbs who's a children publisher and works for greenway pass  who doesn't take too kindly to his family and doesn't really cared about them only himself, but he doesn't take him too kindly and dismissed him and thinks buddy is some man-child playing as a elf and raise from the north pole and doesn't believe him. eventually he would meet his stepmother emily hobbs played by Mary steenburgen and half-younger brother michael hobbs played by daniel tay. 


Buddy meets a worker while at the mall Jovie played by Zoeey Deschanel who works at the gimbels who's uninterested in the christmas season and also sings which buddy takes noticed of only to get caught. Buddy gets a job from his dad after putting in a role with the mailroom and makes some new friends with the workers and Buddy goes on a date with Jovie he finds love which he feels more happy but unfortunately, it doesn't go well for him at the end his father meets with Miles Finach another best selling children author who is mistaken for a elf which he beats buddy up and Walter has had enough of it. Buddy decided to leave for the north pole leaving a note for his family to read, however michael discover buddy's letter and tell his dad and walter has a change of heart and decideds to go search for buddy. Santa Claus is in Central Park and Buddy is search for his missing enger before the New York Park rangers find them they soon came across each other and Buddy and his dad reconcile with each other, trying to lift the christmas spirit Jovie would sing Santa Claus is coming to town and at last after escaping from central park the next christmas Buddy and his family celebrated christmas together and Jovie takes in singing lessons and now they're parents to their firist child. It's memorable christmas movie where it tells of what's it like feeling different realizing they came from and being adoptive and discovering your family roots attempts to reconcile and having the festival spirit. 


The film does take inspiration from Rudolph the red nose reindeer with the costume fitting the elves and the stop motion itselfs gives you the style of Rankin/Bass that was done in the 60s. Also the soundtrack itself reminds me from style of the grinch mostly the suite or medley that was from James Horner but the music for Elf is done by John Debney. 

Anyways then feel free to watch Elv this christmas if you can. Also more to come for tomorrow or Christmas Day.

The Muppets Christmas

The Muppets Christmas is a classic Christmas special that we remember watching however it also was part of my childhood which I remember watching with my siblings growing up and its fun special so let's talk about the movie.


The plot starts with Michael Caine who plays Ebenezer Scrooge based on 19th century by Charles Dickens 1843 book, the film is set in 19th century London in the middle of Christmas season. Scrooge is a mean cold hearted and lonely moneylender who does not shared the Christmas spirit he doesn't accept his nephew Christmas dinner invitation, and tells his employees to e dismissed played by DR. Bunsen honeydraw and Beaker, tossed a wreath at a carol singing to Bean Bunny who was singing. After telling his employees that they won't be getting a day off on christmas day however he agrees with it and Scrooge leaves for home and the bookkeepers celebrate Christmas. His employee is Bob Cratchit is played by Kermit the Frog. 

While at his home he is encourge by his former business partners Jacob and Michael Marley who warned him that if he continues his wicked ways he'll be visit by three spirits of christmas. Scrooge is visit by the childlike ghost of christmas past who takes him to his childhood and early adult life that show his lonely school days. His early days he was in love with his childhood love Belle that he was in love with but belle left him after he chose money over her and led to him back to his bedroom. At Two'o Clock Scrooge meets the gigantic merry ghost of christmas present who shows the joys of christmas day as Mrs. Cratchit (played by Miss Piggy) and her family are having joy, but scrooge is made fun of his stinginess and general ill. Bob's Son who is ill tiny tim played by robin the frog and the ghost of christmas present fast forward and shows that tiny tim will likely died if the future does not change as they go to a cemetery, the ghost of christmas yet to come a tall silent cloaked figure takes scrooge into the future and show scrooge of a funeral of a unnamed colleague later on the ghost would take scrooge to see tiny tim has died and the crachits are mourning him after revealing scrooge was the one who died after revealing it all scrooge wish to change his ways. Realizing that it's Christmas Day Scrooge gleefully wish to surprise Bob's Family with a turkey dinner with bean dickens rizzo and the charity workers to spread happiness and joy around london. Scrooge reconciling with Fredd and Fozziwig and goes to the cratchit house. revealing to raise Bob's Salery and pay off his mortgage at last the neighborhood celebrate Christmas and Scrooge became a second father to tiny tim escape death and got well. 


This film is interesting and i like how it adapted a book from Charles Dickens and it's a good special and teaching the lessons of how to have joy and happiness for Christmas and to help people out not to make them feel left out. Michael caine fits well for the role of scrooge the cinematography is wonderful and the songs amazing and i like how the song brings the joy of it.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)


Oh Rudolph The red nosed reindeer how special of a tv movie it was. I'm not gonna lied here i remember watching this special when i was little at the time of kindergarten as i got older i watch this one to very and it reminds with me to this very day. What also got my attention of this one is it's stop motion which the film elf got to use with combing both live action and stop motion together. It aired back in 1964 of december at that time and later on it would get it's sequels and direct to sequel which i'm not gonna talk much about on this post perhaps i might don't know much of the story itself. 

This film has good songs my favorite is we are santa's elves and we are just a couple of misfits those are my favorites of the movie and remember when being in kindergarten where couple of kids use to sing this song it was a fun time before school ended.
