A Christmas Winter Song (II) (2019)

Winter Song is a breath of fresh air among the holiday competition.

Stan Shaw the longtime underrated actor steals the show is this new Lifetime Network movie for the holiday season. Wanting to reconnect with his daughter he is befriended by Ashanti (also solid) who lost her father years earlier. Lots of music but what it doesn't have is the cookie cutter plot that most other Christmas themed movies have this time of year. A breath of fresh air for this holiday season.

An American Christmas Carol (1979 TV Movie)

Henry Winkler Triumphs In An American Christmas Carol !

[10/10 · 24 November 2013]

I'm going to start of by saying that the "Fonz" from Happy Days is my all-time favorite TV character from my all-time favorite show. I'll also put out there that i got to meet Henry Winkler in person a few years back. That being said i remember fondly back in 1979 watching An American Christmas when it premiered on TV. Henry Winkler was at the height of his popularity then and i couldn't wait to see him in a new Christmas movie around the holiday season. Myself being all of 12 years old at the time i loved Henry Winkler in his "Scrooge" type role and the depression era setting. As others have stated the story has been changed slightly for an American setting and the ending a little differently done. But for me those are strong points that separate this version from other versions. That's why it's called "An American Christmas Carol" and not just "A Christmas Carol" because of it's American spin on things. For those looking it's been released on Blu Ray and DVD and you can probably find it online or locally for a pretty reasonable price. For fans or someone looking for something new they haven't seen give "An American Christmas Carol" a shot. This reviewer gives two thumbs up for "The Fonz" and if you don't agree you can "Sit On It" ! (Just some Happy Days humor for you.....Happy Holidays !)
