Dark Side of the Moon: Surviving Christmas – How To Not Spend Christmas
We got through Christmas day and here comes New Year, but before that we have to remember a few movies that didn’t work on such a special and cliché date to the movies. My choice today – as you could read on the title – os “Surviving Christmas”. Have you ever heard of it? Yes, that’s right, if you though about that movie on which Ben Affleck pays a family to be his Christmas family, you’re right! Let’s go? Surviving Christmas is a North American comedy movie, directed by Mike Mitchell, written by Harry Elfont, Deborah Kaplan, Jeffrey Ventimilia and Joshua Sternin, based on a story by Elfont and Kaplan,…

Dark Side Of The Moon: Fred Claus – Your Christmas Nap
You thought the Christmas dose of the year was done here at Lune Station? Well, you are very wrong: our special this week are the bad Christmas movies – after so many good recommendations this week. On this post, I could talk about a GIANT list of weak Christmas movies – because yes, there are many and I’ve watched thousands of them – mostly the romance ones that have a similar plot and the movie making looks really amateur. But I wouldn’t be able to talk about any of those: I like this type of movie too much. Then I remembered the comedy movies that surround Santa Claus, his successors…

Dark Side of the Moon: Black Christmas (2006) – How To NOT Have a Happy Christmas
And we’re back with our column of trash movies, this time Special Christmas Edition: Black Christmas (2006) is a movie that gets into the Dark Side of the Moon in all his trashy glory. A headstart disclaimer that the title sucks. It’s completely nonsense to put “black” on the title just to be ~scary~ – black is a colour. Let’s have more creativity for horror movie titles, the name has nothing to do with the movie. Ok, after that: Black Christmas is one of the most comical horror movies I’ve ever watched and I really don’t know if they aimed for it or not. As a remake of a 70’s…

Lunar Popcorn: The Grinch and the Magic of Christmas
On this time of the year, on a snowflake, something magic happened: in a Christmas day, the Grinch appeared on Whoville and stole the who’s Christmas, one of the most important holidays of the year. Today I, Sel, bring you one of my favourite Chrismas movies, known by many and also – for most incredible it might be – unknown by many. On my humble opinion, one of the best and most representative movies in the genre. Are you ready to take a stroll on Whoville? Because I’m more than ready to take you with me directly to Grinch’s cove, on the northerns mountains of Whoville. ps: you might seize…

The Nutcracker Ballet: A Christmas Classic!
The story of the Nutcracker is one of the most classic Christmas stories – probably one of the first things that comes to our minds when we start seeing Christmas decorations throughout the city along with all that magical energy from this time of the year. Who never sang the Sugar Plum Fairy song – even on their minds – at least once in their lifetime? I studied dance since I was little – going through ballet and jazz mostly – so we have a tiny collection of ballet DVDs/Blu Rays here at home, and we always have fun watching live or in videos. Although I was always the rebellious…

Lunar Popcorn: Nightmare Before Christmas – Merry Christmas!
Jingle Bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way – insert here your favourite melody! Christmas week is here and everyone that lives around me knows how much I’m in love with movies from this time of the year (and yes, be them the biggest super productions, Netflix originals, or those undergrounds that starts with two people that never seen each other that get trapped in a city that super celebrates Christmas and one of them loves it while the other hates it and, at the end, they get together – I have a PhD in those – my Lune sisters already gave up on me). So you must already imagine…
