The Muppet Christmas Carol
Director: Brian Henson
Year: 1992
Stars: Michael Caine, Kermit, Miss Piggy (look, they're Muppets, so real-ish-, OK?)
Now I know it must be Christmas - The Muppet Christmas Carol is on TV - and it's snowing outside (yes, really)! How much more Christmassy can you get?
You must know the story by now - even if only from reading my blog, which already has reviews of at least three different variations on Scrooge. If you don't, go and get yourselves an education.
One of the best adaptations of a Christmas Carol, even with muppets involved. It's cheery, heart warming, cynical in all the best places, and really evokes that feeling of Christmas. God Bless Us, Every One!

PS Apologies for the large amount of posts that have been appearing over the past few days - I realised with the vast amount of films I've been watching and failing to blog about instantly, I needed to play catch-up a bit before Christmas!
Watching films is one of my favourite hobbies. Often the films I watch aren't the biggest, or newest, films of the moment - but smaller independent movies, things on late night TV, or simply films I missed first time around. Not to say that the latest cinema releases don't get a look-in: my tastes are pretty diverse and I'll give almost any film a chance! This blog aims to reflect something of that diversity, reviewing as many of the films that I've watched since November 2008 as possible.

About Me
- Anna Lawson
- I live in Bristol with my husband Dan (who I married in July 2007), my son Joe (born 2012) and daughter Jess (born 2015). I work at UWE (the University of the West of England) in Bristol as a Research and Open Access Librarian. I'm orginally from Exeter, so moving back to Bristol is a bit like coming home - especially as I studied for my undergraduate degree here (also at UWE). I love travelling and movies, although I get to do a lot less of both since the birth of our children. Although we have still managed to fit in holidays to the Isles of Scilly, Chamonix and a summer in California since Joe was born.
