Christmas TV Classic Alert: Grinch and Shrek

Posted on November 26, 2012 at 8:00 am

The joys of Christmas include sharing holiday favorites with the family and two of the best of the animated classics will be on ABC tomorrow night. “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas” — the animated Chuck Jones version with the voice of Boris Karloff, not the live-action Jim Carrey version — and “Shrek the Halls,” with everyone’s favorite ogre family getting ready for the holidays. Now is a good time to turn off all the devices and sit down as a family to watch together.

Thanksgiving Classic: “What’s Cooking?”

Posted on November 22, 2012 at 12:00 pm

This is my favorite Thanksgiving movie, the story of four families preparing for their Thanksgiving dinner, directed by Gurinder Chada (“Bend it Like Beckham”) and starring “The Good Wife’s” Juliana Margulies, “The Closer’s” Kyra Sedgwick, and two of my favorites, Alfre Woodard and Mercedes Ruehl.
