Scrooged is one of those movies where Bill Murray is hilarious. He has that straight deadpan look and then goes all nuts. I just love it. The cast of characters in this movie is also very funny. The movie has David Johansen (aka Buster Poindexter) as the Ghost of Christmas Past. He was a cigar smoking cab driving ghost. Carol Kane as the Ghost of Christmas Present. She was hilarious with all the beating up on Bill Murrary’s character. This was one of the more funny takes on the Christmas Carol theme. Even Bobcat Goldthwait was in it in a Bob Crochet sort of role. One of my favorite parts was on the set of the movie Bill Murray’s character was producing and the set designer or animal handler comes up to Bill’s character as explains that the antlers won’t stay on the mice. Murray asks, “Did you try staples.” The movie was just filled with twisted humor like that and Murray is the only guy who can deliver in that way. So, get in the holiday spirit with Scrooged. You can watch the trailer at the Video Detective website.

A Muppet Christmas Carol
We were supposed to have a copy of The Muppet Christmas Carol – Kermit’s 50th Anniversary edition. But our recent order from the Disney Movie Club got screwed up and instead of The Muppet Christmas Carol – Kermit’s 50th Anniversary edition, Mickey’s Once and Twice Upon a Christmas, we ended up with Lady and The Tramp II. Yesterday as I was going through our bills and whatnot I came across the invoice and called the Disney Movie Club to see how I could get this rectified. They were great. So very helpful. And even before I hung up the phone Allison received the e-mail confirmation that the movies were on their way. Disney Movie Club is really a good deal. And their customer service is awesome.
