Movie Buzz: November 5

WE ALL KNOW THE STORY OF SCROOGE...BUT IF THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS FUTURE WOULD HAVE SEEN THIS VISION OF THE CLASSIC STORY...HE WOULD'VE BEEN IMPRESSED. IT COMES TO LIFE ON THE BIG SCREEN AND ON IMAX USING MOTION CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY. IT IS VISUALLY UNBELIEVABLE...BREATHTAKING.AND THE PERFORMANCES MATCH THE SPECTACLE. JIM CARREY AS SCROOGE AND ALL OF THE SPIRITS IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT...IN FACT, IF THIS WAS A LIVE ACTION PERFORMANCE - HE WOULD GRAB AN OSCAR NOM! IT'S ONE OF THE BEST VERSIONS OF "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" I'VE EVER SEEN...BUT PARENTS, ONE WORD OF CAUTION - IT'S DEFINITELY NOT FOR THE LITTLE ONES...THE VISUALS, ESPECIALLY IN 3D ARE RATHER OVERWHELMING AND WHEN THE STORY TAKES A DARK TURN...IT CAN BE A LITTLE FRIGHTENING.

HAVING SAID THAT - DISNEY'S "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" IS A PERFECT WAY TO KICK START YOUR HOLIDAY SEASON...AND A FANTASTIC NEW ADDITION TO YOUR FAMILY'S TRADITIONS. GRAB THE FAMILY, PUT ON YOUR 3D GLASSES AND GET READY TO FEEL THE SPIRIT OF "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" PULLING OUT THE REPORT CARD...I GIVE IT A BIG "B+"
