It's a Wonderful Life (1946) One of those movies that is shown almost every christmas, 'It's a Wonderful Life' started life as 'The Greatest Gift', a short story written by Philip Van Doren Stern in 1939 and published in 1945. George Bailey gives up on his lifes dreams in order to help the people of Bedford Falls fulfil theirs touching the lives of so many people along the way. But because of $8,000 of misplaced money George's life begins to crumble and just as he is about to commit suicide an angel steps in to show George what the town and the lives of its people would be like if he hadn't been born. Filmed in the middle of a sweltering July, 6,000 gallons of a new type of fake snow was used. Up until 'Its a Wonderful Life', cornflakes painted white were used to show snow. So innovative was this that the RKO Effects Department received a technical award from the Academy, but although the movie was nominated for five academy awards including 'Best Picture' 'Best Director' and 'Best Actor' it didnt win any. Great movie with a great performance from Stewart.

Films watched over xmas so far.... what more can you say? reminds me of saturday mornings as a kid, the saturday morning picture show! Great big bug movie, I enjoyed this a lot. Would love see a remake of this! Classic futursitic sport and can not understand why it did not catch on? I would have a season ticket! Was never going to top the series I watched as a kid (or the book ever!) but enjoyable film that is so hard to put to film I think. On paper it sounds ridiculous, man eating plants that shuffle at snails pace a threat to mankinkd?..... but I LOVE THIS MOVIE! scared me has a kid and now has a place in my heart. Its great my little lad loves it too!

Dredd! "I am the law" Pretty good but watching it in a 2D version is slightly annoying since some of the scenes are obviously devised to be all 'in your face' especially the over-cooked slo-mo bits. Much better than the Stallone version though hahah. I want to get a 3D tv and watch it again how it was intended to be seen.

3D? have not been the cinema watch a 3D film yet and can't see me doing so. Dont know why but I just see it as a gimmick and going... 'ooohhh! that looked like it was coming at me!'...novelty would soon wear off and doesnt warrant the extra bucks for a 3D T.V or for cinema entrance. Now completely immersive T.V...Thats a different matter! where did I put that blue movie?
