2012: A Cinematical Retrospective



It’s New Year’s Eve, and I’m into a bottle of wine. I’d say it’s about time to wrap up the year and ring in the new one by naming my favourite movies of 2012.

Review - Christmas Playlist 2012

I'm working on something... monumental for next week's post--that is to say, Christmas Eve's--and seeing as I'm creatively spent I'm going to be a cheapskate and just post my playlist for the 2012 holiday season. YouTube links have been provided.

Review - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (with Commentary!)


Keeping with the Christmas spirit, this week my friend Katelynn E (who writes semi-regularly at Duchess Thoughts) and I sat down at our kilometres-apart computers and watched the Rankin and Bass stop-motion classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer together. Our chat feed was not silent.

Tangent - Songs I Somehow Associate with Christmas


December is upon us, and so I feel little shame in devoting this week as well as the remainder of the month to discussing all things related to Christmas. With Yuletide approaching, a great deal of the music I listen to leading up to it has been chosen to enhance the accompanying atmosphere. The vast majority of these songs, mainly Christmas carols, have very, very good reasons for being on my iTunes playlist. Others, not nearly as much. This week's piece is about the latter category.
