Big Screen: That Time of the Year Flicker

Marlete Volz’s movies are homemade, but a big sore point. “All Christmas Does” is remind her you’re gone. Barely hanging in there vocals over slow symphonic pop.

Keyla is more convincing with her sultry snarling R+B “My Christmas Blues“. Even with enough movies and cookies, joy not gonna happen. He gotta come home. Damn.

Niquio claims there’s “More To Christmas” than presents and movies. His soaring pop diva delivery makes me believe. Hand me the remote.

Josefine Luna traps a childhood memory in amber with her breathy country/pop “Christmas Day“. Movies on repeat may have more to do with her upbringing than the season, sadly.

Big Screen: Natale Cinema

Jake Hadrick dutifully synthesizes out the list of wintry attributes (movies!) in a sort of rap for “A Christmas to Remember“. What was i talking about again?

More confidently Teauxbba childchants “Ho-Ho-Host a Christmas Party“. I wouldn’t say no; sounds fun. And the movies are for inspiration, not a party activity.

Haylee Joe would prefer to ditch the overplayed movies for a better Xmas treat: a big man. Overplayed–albeit calm–flirty pop delivers “Santa, Did You Get My Letter?”

AI to the rescue! Eh I By brings us “Christmas Movie Nights“, where we’re back to title-dropping with morals attached. Country rock of the boot scooting sort.

Big Screen: 12/25 Picture Show

Those Christmas movies; They seem to be on every channel… cheesy pops iSeeMusic (feat. Devyn Rush) for the trying to hard “Christmas Everyday“. Love blah blah forever, you know.

Kendra Williams filter-slurs “My Boo“, as in Can you be my–? for, you know, watching Christmas movies right by the tree. It’s all about attitude, not message though in this overproduced love letter.

Unrequited indie love from Rhys Prosser sets the moody for “Snow for Sand“. In this overthought out review of all the sights of the holidays (incl. movies), he realizes she’s not that into him. He tries to make the best of it.

Benedicta comes on strong with lounge piano pursuing a persnickety paramour in “ChristmasTime“. Not holding out much hope, the way she noodles it.

Big Screen: Merry Multiplex

5 Chinese Brothers rock the country with an odd tale that smushes reality with cine-magic in “And to All a Good Night.” ‘Santa Conquers the Martians’ gets a meme!

During a “California Snow” Kathryn Anne Davis catches a few holiday shows. Plunky new age indie.

William the Angel learns of Yuletide customs in the indie rock “What Do I Find There?” Rob Mathes takes us there with gentle criticism.

Big Screen: Festive Films

Robert Lund uses a medley of carol tunes to criticize how December is full of Oscar hopeful releases. “Pinecones and Halle Berry” poops all over those gutwrencing dramas.

Randy Rainbow actually sings the love themes in “The Christmas Movie Medley“, but as ‘Home Alone’s (not a) hit song is included–and Randy’s cool–we’ll allow it.

Boogie woogie implies wildly “It’s No Christmas” without all the denouements of Christmas movies fulfilling their endings. Woo hoo, Larson Lee.

Big Screen: Advent Theater

Jeremy Lapalme wants to spend, with you, “Christmas at the Movies.” From an amateur revue in Canada. So, showtune.

Le chat au café stumbles thru “Christmas Stories” as a sort of folk rap ballideering about all those TV movies–okay, they’re just specials. But we embrace all.

Radish Friends evoke awkwardness when they set “Holiday Classics. On Television” to the tune of Rocky Horror’s intro number. Lip sync it now.

Big Screen: Holiday Features

“A Christmas Film” from Canvas: the human is a rollercoaster of feelings and scenes in a rock genre. Problems with the third act….

Keepers of the Stars compulsively title-drop in the percussively pop “Christmas at the Movies” so much that you begin to wonder if these are lyrics or Mad Libs. Antic.

The Meanwhile rock “Christmas at the Movies” much harder, but their overview includes Gremlins, Ernest, and Muppets. Rock ON.

Troy and Lyric cook sample here there and everywhere for the popping “Christmas at the Movies“. It encompasses all the catharses of the season. Phew.

Big Screen: December Motion Picture

Cherry Candy’s “Christmas Movies” is electronic practice with as much attention to cinema as to date stuff. Sweaty and insistent.

Mahtie Bush Bru Lei Vangloryus’s “Christmas Movies” are specific and pointed. But this rap seems to use the focus of details as weapons of criticism.

Celebrating “Christmas at the Movies“, Polivka Brothers strum and whistle their folk pop to let you know where to find them 12/25.

Big Screen: Chilly Flix

Electric Needle Room rattles off the various “Christmas Movies” and their reactions through a bit of the ol’ indie. And out.

“Christmas Movies / Jingle Bells” by Suspender Defenders is more of an odd indie mantra than an actual experience. Peppy, though.

Matt Heaton’s “Christmas Movies” fill him with cheer. Plodding folk runs us through the memories of childhood and on and on.

Big Screen: Xmas Movies

Film is what we mean when we say media. It may be the most contributory element of culture today. It is our agenda, our mood enhancer, reality. When we argue the good and bad of Christmas, we reference shows and cinema.

The genre of Christmas movies has been overrun by a single romcom formula wherein the birth of the Savior is mere backdrop. Lauryn Marie’s “Christmas Movies” nudges the bear with gentle irony and tinkly pop. It would be great in a soundtrack after the declarations of love.

 Jason Michael comes right out with country barking and names the problem: “You, Me & Hallmark Christmas Movie.” Real drunken life isn’t like those.

“Christmas Like the Movies” sets Santa and all the trappings into the doldrums of mumblecore. Richard Watson troubs this folk into the dumps. Love it.
