"There’s a new Muppet special premiering on NBC tonight called A Muppet Christmas: Letters to Santa. So, because I’m a Muppet-loving fool, I figured it appropriate to feature Jim Henson’s creations once again in the Clip of the Day. This isn’t some kind of marketing ploy, though, and anyway I couldn’t find any clips or ads specific to the new program. In order to make this post more film-related, I initially thought about sharing a scene, preferably a musical number, from The Muppet Christmas Carol, but I wrote enough about my love for that movie last year for another site. So, I’ve used this as an opportunity to finally showcase a brilliantly edited music video for a song called “All Through the Night” by Brooklyn r&b group Escort (despite their retro disco sound, they’re a current band, interestingly featuring former members of the popular Boston ska band Skavoovie and the Epitones). It’s not a legitimate Henson production and it doesn’t have to do with the holidays — unless your ... "

"I won't waste my time recapping such a well-known story. Surely most everyone has seen at least one or two other versions of this Christmas classic, which range from the nearly unwatchable, to the cheesey to the near genius. I hadn't seen this version untilr recently, but upon watching it I will take the risk and say it falls into the latter of the three categories. George C. Scott is brilliant as Scrooge, with an ominous and foreboding presence through out the movie that convinces the audience that this Scrooge will never see the err of his ways. Scott seems to hold onto his repugnant character a little longer and a little more tenaciously than the Scrooges in many other versions, making the transformation and redemption that much more surprising and heartwarming. Perhaps the highlight of the film came from the three spirits that visited Scrooge through the night. Often they are shown as purely kind and compassionate beings, interested in gently showing Scrooge the error of ... "

"It’s probably a good thing I’m not head of Summit Entertainment, because I’d replace departed Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke with “SpookyDan,” a YouTube user who shot a three-minute remake of the first movie using puppets. Fans of Twilight probably wouldn’t appreciate having Robert Pattinson replace with a silent, plush version of Edward Cullen, although their ability to project their fantasy of the vampire heartthrob onto anyone or anything (Pattinson himself admits he needed to be a blank canvas) is probably powerful enough to get over the switcheroo. Having not seen or read Twilight, I can’t say if this video is a faithful or sufficient representation of the story, but I’m going to admit that it’s good enough for me. But then, I’ll watch anything in which puppets replace human characters. Yes, even The Muppet Christmas Carol (actually, especially The Muppet Christmas Carol). As far as parody goes, I’d have loved to see Count von Count from Sesame Street make an appearance ... "

"It took me awhile, but last week I finally saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And to agree with many others, I think it features a few too many ludicrous moments. Yet the most outlandish, in my opinion, is the scene in which Indy and Marion seem to reenact His Girl Friday in about four seconds while riding in the back of a truck. I know it’d been awhile, both for them and for us, but I prefer a little more bickering, a little more holding back in comedy of remarriage plots. Anyway, we knew a long time ago, thanks to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, that Indy and Marion didn’t last long together after the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. So, I didn’t really care if they ended up together at the end of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, either. It’s probable they still wouldn’t last. And I think the same often with other unlikely movie couples at the end of their respective films. Fortunately, a number of sequels tell us outright that the romance of the first film f ... "

"Last week, while I was still exhausted from my first real SXSW experience, news broke out that actor/writer Jason Segel (of TV’s Freaks and Geeks and How I Met Your Mother and the upcoming movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall) is planning a new Muppet movie. Though the announcement likely figured into my subsequent quick recovery, I wasn’t in good enough health to write about it at the time. Fortunately, now there’s more details, courtesy of MTV Movies Blog, and I’m even more giddy than before. As I figured, Segel is looking to the original Muppet flicks, specifically The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper and
