Christmas Classics Fatigue? TRY THIS, instead!
Vendetta: A Christmas Story is fast, furious, and funny! Despite the look and feel of a weekender production made by friends with little money and even less to lose, this nano-budgeter is downright inspiring, considering its humble means. Chock full of clever gags, chases, and one absurd situation after another, it proves what is possible when a filmmaker, armed with wit, a camera, and not much else, sets out to entertain on purpose. I'm inspired every time I watch it. It reminds that film-making for the joy of film-making is a worthy ambition. And this lesson translates into every arena. Create art that YOU enjoy and you'll find your audience. If you've had your fill of the usual roster of Christmas classics, turn to this instead. Presented as two back-to-back episodes of the fictitious TV show, "Vendetta", we get a plot involving a failed raid which sends Santa fleeing for his life. Over-the-top by design, this is bare-knuckled, tongue-in-cheek entertainment that must be seen to be believed. Cinephiles who delight in finding hidden gems should check out this minor miracle. This Christmas truffle proves that good things still come in small packages. (As of this writing, the film can still be viewed for free on the web. Just google Vendetta Christmas and you'll hit their site.)
