Larry the Cable Guy might seem like an unlikely candidate to host a seasonal variety show but VH1 has taken a chance on the redneck comedian for this amusing 2007 CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR. Larry is joined by an array of special guests as he tries to “Git-R-Done” and the show has been designed as a spoof of the great 1970s variety shows so Tony Orlando who hosted his own TONY ORLANDO AND DAWN RAINBOW HOUR in the ’70s makes an appropriate appearance; Flavor Flav and Jamie Kennedy are also featured. The whole event was filmed at a luxury resort in Las Vegas and is sure to keep fans of Larry’s inimitable brand of humor chuckling over their turkeys as they enjoy the festive season.

When a doubting young boy takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe. Destined to become a holiday perennial, The Polar Express also heralded a brave new world of all-digital filmmaking. Critics and audiences were divided between those who hailed it as an instant classic that captures the visual splendor and evocative innocence of Chris Van Allsburg’s popular children’s book, and those who felt that the innovative use of “performance capture”–to accurately translate live performances into all-digital characters–was an eerie and not-quite-lifelike distraction from the story’s epic-scale North Pole adventure. In any case it’s a benign, kind-hearted celebration of the yuletide spirit, especially for kids who have almost grown out of their need to believe in Santa Claus. Tom Hanks is the nominal “star” who performs five different computer-generated characters, but it’s the visuals that steal this show, as director Robert Zemeckis indulges his tireless pursuit of technological innovation. No matter how you respond to the many wonders on display, it’s clear that The Polar Express represents a significant milestone in the digital revolution of cinema. If it also fills you with the joy of Christmas (in spite of its Nuremberg-like rally of frantic elves), so much the better. –Jeff Shannon DVD features The most intriguing feature on the two-disc DVD is probably the six-minute sequence featuring a new song performed by the two engine-room characters, Smokey and Steamer. The animation is crude and the song is nothing special, but it does preserve the dual performances of Michael Jeter (he played both characters), who passed away during filming. One of the striking aspects of The Polar Express is its use of motion-capture technology to turn real actors into animated characters, and that is examined in a significant portion of the five-part 11-minute featurette, in the “look at” Tom Hanks’s multiple performances, and in an Easter egg that offers a side-by-side comparison of the actors in their motion-capture suits with the finished film in the “Hot Chocolate” number. There’s also a live performance of Josh Groban singing “Believe” followed by an interview segment with him and composer Alan Silvestri, author Chris Van Allsburg providing a five-minute capsulization of his career, a PC game demo, and a kids’ set-top game. The version of the film on DVD is the standard theatrical version, not the 3-D version seen in IMAX theaters. –David Horiuchi The World of The Polar Express The book by Chris Van Allsburg The Soundtrack The Magic Journey (Polar Express the Movie) (book) Stills from Polar Express (click for larger image) Read detail product

A PRESENT FOR SANTA IRAPIDO, TICO!SCHOOL PETQUACK! QUACK!Dora’s too smart a cookie to leave Santa standard-issue snacks for Christmas. But when he slips through the chimney without spotting his gift, it’s up to her and buddies Backpack, Boots, and the trusty Map to battle their way through snow-capped mountains and an icy river to ring his North Pole bell. Even at Christmastime, TV’s most intrepid cartoon Latina is no slouch–she takes 2- to 6-year-olds to task on shape identification, Spanish vocabulary, and more during Project Present Drop . With her encouragement, Swiper the Fox surrenders Santa’s gift as quickly as he five-fingers it, and elves come caroling when the merry mission’s complete. Dora’s gift to her devoted play-along-at-home pals is a second episode. In “Rapido, Tico!” the gang tackles land, lake, sky, and snow to reclaim Boots’s toy fire truck. –Tammy La Gorce Read detail product
