Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal

"A Christmas Carol" (1938)
"Yes! Yes I do! I like Christmas! I love Christmas!" — Ebenezer Scrooge

Christmas is treated with way more holiday cheer in the west than Diwali here, in the East. Which is why there is a completely different genre for films in Hollywood known as Holiday Films or Christmas Movies. From the impractical wants as presents


 "A Christmas Story" (1983)
Ralphie (Peter Billingsley): "No! No! I want an official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!"

Santa Claus: "You'll shoot your eye out, kid."  
To the racists “And may all your Christmases be white. Merry Christmas!" – White Christmas, and to the addicts "You’re skipping Christmas! Isn’t that against the law?" — Spike Frohmeyer – Christmas with The Kranks
Holiday movies are for all “them” personalities.



Starting with ELF (2003), Will Ferrel playing a child human raised by elves, visiting New York to meet his biological dad, can perhaps get on your nerves probably because a child like human gets on everybody’s nerves!!!

 HOME ALONE 1,2,3,4… All are worth DYING for!!
From the famous hand-cupping cheeks scene to the smart and sassy robbers Home Alone has made even made my mother happy!! (Now that’s rare)!!
"This is extremely important. Will you please tell Santa that instead of presents this year, I just want my family back. No toys. Nothing but Peter, Kate, Buzz, Megan, Linnie, and Jeff. And my aunt and my cousins. And if he has time, my Uncle Frank. Okay?" — Kevin McCallister


A story of how George was stopped from committing suicide by his guardian angel. Sounds pathetic but “Its a Wonderful Life” actually the most touching film on this list. If I could sit through the whole film then anybody can!! (It’s certainly not the best film directed by Mr. Italy here) (And yes he is Italian)
"Merry Christmas, movie house! Merry Christmas, Emporium! Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Building and Loan!" — George Bailey

What on planet earth is cuter than Charlie Brown and Peanuts???? And extra smart Einstein friends of course
"A Charlie Brown Christmas" (1965)
"Look, Charlie, let’s face it. We all know that Christmas is a big commercial racket. It’s run by a big Eastern syndicate, you know." — Lucy Van Pel
This CB movie is EPIC and deserves tons of respect for being on this “ belle liste “
Holiday films are nowhere as close to entertaining us as the Victoria’s Secret Holiday Commercial. But who cares??? They don’t bring us into tears of joy and happiness (unless you’re a part of the commercial and you made abig deal out of it, because HELLO its VS) they don’t make us feel that family more important than anything else in this entire world (except food and unlimited wifi) and well a lot of other things that I don not know because im not that sentimental in life. END OF STORY.


"The Santa Clause" (1994)
Little Girl: Santa?

Scott Calvin: Scott Calvin.

Little Girl: How come your clothes are so baggy?

Scott Calvin: Because Santa is … watching his saturated fats.

Little Girl: How come you don't have a beard?

Scott Calvin: Because I shaved! You want this doll or not? Go back to sleep

     “With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his."-  George Bernard Shaw              Reading or listening to Shakespeare can be like learning a foreign language. And then some people have trouble finding the "real" or "true" emotion or feeling in the words. It takes time, and everyone is in such a hurry. Well, not everyone. People liked the movie "Shakespeare in Love", but then the language was changed when the "real" characters were talking with each other while not reciting their lines. The main issue may be intellectual accessibility. They are nauseatingly boring to read. And all I learned was that Early Modern English hurt my brain. The most bizarre and probably the coolest of all was Muammar al-Gaddafi on Willy, who was,  Sheikh  Zubayr bin...

Black Lives Matter

'There comes a time when silence is betrayal'.   -Martin Luther King .  To where it all started… Let's go back in time to the year 2013- The year 2013 which has made all difference by celebrating the acknowledgment of the existence of black lives, when the never answered injustice in the form of racism was questioned. Black lives matter is the world famous movement which signifies the contribution of the black folks in the society. The movement came to life against the white supremacy because of the deadly oppression and the brutal behaviour faced by the black race community. The movement black lives matter focuses on changing the mindset of racists that there is no black-white, African-American, the only race is Human race. In other words, humanity should be our race and love should be the religion. How digital media played a role? The gruesome death of Trayvon Martin a 17 year old African American who was shot in Sanford, Florida by George Zimmerman wh...

Feminism: The Way Of Being

  A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men. Gloria Steinem. Feminism not a one way concept, a wide spectrum…       Feminism – an eight-letter word which has shaped the beliefs of all of the human-kind, which has kept the connotation of ‘feminism’ as the advocacy of women’s rights the grounds of the equality of the sexes. Through this piece, I’d like to share my notion about this sentiment, seeking to establish parallel ‘hope’, ‘freedom’, ‘space’, ‘contingency’ and ‘cut’ through a male prospect. The penchant wave formally began in 1848, where about three hundred men and women rallied about for the cause of equality for women. The socio-historical oppression was born when contradiction was seen as the antagonism between both of these sexes on the basis of biological differences, being compared to men, it was believed that women were at a biological disadvantage, as the reproductive function of a woman was considered as a ...
