Christmas Movies 2022 (Part 6)
Die Hard
You can't really go wrong with this high action, suspenseful movie set in a LA tower block on Christmas Eve. A lone New York cop is pitted against a dozen well armed bad guys and Bruce Willis delivered perhaps one of his best theatrical performances of his career. Oh, Alan Rickman comes pretty darn close to stealing the show.
The Bishop's Wife
Cary Grant, David Niven and Loretta Young bring to life the story of an Angel sent to provide guidance to a Bishop whose family is suffering as he struggles to fund the building of a cathedral. Sounds a little dull but the acting is spectacular and the movie full of warmth and humour.
Hogfather
A TV adaptation of the Terry Pratchett Discworld novel doesn't do too bad a job of bringing the book to the small screen. Granted it's not as good as the novel but there's plenty there for someone to enjoy who is not familiar with the writings and while the visuals were never state of the art they don't look too bad even now and you can not fault the majority of the performances.
