I always thought this was a good movie. However, if Anne Baxter likes it, it must be a great one...

Movie Quote of the Week

Yeah, there’s a lot of bad “isms” floatin’ around this world, but one of the worst is commercialism. Make a buck, make a buck. Even in Brooklyn it’s the same -- don’t care what Christmas stands for, just make a buck, make a buck.

The One Book I Most Look Forward to Re-Reading This Christmas Season

One of my favorite anthologies from one of my favorite modern sci-fi writers. (And yes, I suppose she can be considered a fantasy writer too.)

Among other things, this book includes Ms. Willis' take on the original Christmas Story, plus the definitive argument as to why the original Miracle on 34th Street is a better movie than that other Christmas movie associated with the 1940s. (The one directed by Frank Capra, and no, I don't mean Meet John Doe.)

And, of course, it has more than a few of Ms. Willis' own short stories, which is never a bad thing in my book.
