Christmas 2009 Movies

With Christmas just around the corner it’s time to get festive and stuff! So here at Movies Illustrated we have got a couple of upcoming Christmas themed movies for you to take a look at, however this year seems to be a bit light on Xmas related movies, with only a couple of big movies.

First up is Everybody’s Fine, starring Robert De Niro, Kate Beckinsdale, Drew Barrymore, and Sam Rockwell, where we follow widower Frank played by DeNiro as he makes his way to see his children at Xmas time when they all cancel their usual yearly visit.

Next up we have the slightly bigger animated movie A Christmas Carol starring Jim Carrey in the lead role as Ebeneezer Scrooge in the retelling of the classic story. This one is definitely going to be the one to take the kids too, and maybe Everybody’s Fine is for the more mature audience.

Overall i’m pretty disappointed with both offerings, and will probably find myself catching up on a couple of Xmas classics this year, namely National Lampoons Christmas Vacation and the very very funny and sweet Elf. In the meantime though enjoy the trailers below and if we have missed any big Xmas movies from this list be sure to let us know!
