Who's The Very Best Onscreen Father Christmas?

Since it is Christmas, the growing season of a lot of holiday-designed snacks, dinners, music (aside from "Last Christmas," by Wham!, because that's the very best Christmas song ever.), etc. believe to invest some time alone at the computer from individuals crazy and noisy relatives compared to our excellent poll: Who Is The Greatest Onscreen Santa? In producing the candidates with this poll, I recognized that you will find a lot more awesome Santas in film than I figured. Well, I needed to be really picky and play faves because, well, this really is my poll. So without further ado, listed here are your five candidates... Edmund Gwenn, "Magic On 34th Street" From probably the most classic Christmas movies comes probably the most classic Santa about this list. Famous character actor Edmund Gwenn's performance am well-received he won a Best Supporting Actor for this. Billy Bob Thornton, "Bad Santa" The title of the film informs us everything we have to learn about Thornton's version of Kris Kringle. He lies, cheats, steals, womanizes, turns up drunk to operate, also would you request for within the most anti-heroic of Santa portrayals? Bonuses granted to Santa's little person little assistant, performed through the amusing Tony Cox. Erectile dysfunction Asner and Artie Lange in "Elf" Sure, Santa plays second fiddle towards the new-classic performance from Will Ferrell as Buddy the elf, but his presence(s) is an essential component regardless. First we now have real Father Christmas (Asner), who loves Buddy without any reason, eccentricities, over-enthusiasm and all sorts of. Then there's fake Santa (Lange), who works part-time at mall Gimbel's. The second of these two does not fair very well as he is faced by Buddy to be an imitation. He totally manages to lose his awesome before a lot of kids and the boss. Shaun Gillen, "A Christmas Story" Poor Ralphie was possessing one further shred of hope the one individual who would understand his want a Red-colored Ryder BB Gun could be Father Christmas. Regrettably for him, Santa shared exactly the same sentiments as the rest of the grown ups within the film: "You'll shoot your skills out, kid." Gillen as Santa states to some devastated Ralphie. "Anyway, Merry Christmas. Ho, ho ho." Jack Skellington, "A Nightmare Before Christmas" An unconventional choice, possibly, but this movie rocks !, specially the wholesome, well-intentioned character of Jack Skellington, who had been fed up with being the Pumpkin King and desired to go through the pleasure of gift-giving, even when he needed to borrow the actual Santa's hat to get it done. Honorable mentions: Serta Akroyd, "Buying and selling Places," James Belushi "Jingle Completely," Paul Giamatti, "Fred Claus"

Let's Rank the 10 Finest Screen Performances of 2011

If you’re both a movie fan and a consummate statistician, it’s easy to love and appreciate the Oscars for shoehorning the majority of film history into a manageable grading rubric. I’m an Oscar apologist myself, and I still have one bone to pick with the Academy — and all award-spewing organizations: the unnecessary reliance on gender-based categories. Is it not more thrilling to pit all actors against each other? Is there such an objective difference between Jeff Bridges and Sandra Bullock? Meryl Streep and Robert Downey Jr.? “Actor” is a gender-neutral term, and I think we’d all better off — and better entertained — without the meaningless siphoning. Thus, I’m stacking up the best performances of 2011 without categorical regard for gender or role size. It’s a winner-take-all affair, and this winner definitely wants it all. Here’s my top 10: 10. Albert Brooks, Drive Albert Brooks is Drive’s Oscar-friendliest component, and that’s for one reason: eerie, sustained dastardliness. As the Driver’s shady foe, Brooks’s lovable, aw-shucksy expression hardens into a papier-mache fright. Perhaps he benefits generously from his decision to counteract the lovable schmos he offered in Lost in America and Broadcast News, but his rancor is too real and evil to dismiss. While Ryan Gosling’s stoicism helps substantiate Drive’s reputation as an evocative mood piece, Brooks’s performance steers — or careens — the movie into horrifying reality. 9. Keira Knightley, A Dangerous Method Knightley’s performance in the part-fascinating, part-boring A Dangerous Method embodies the acting trope “big choices,” but it’s still a triumph: As Carl Jung’s histrionic patient Sabina Spielrein, she’s a quivering, questioning, repressed and entirely believable intellectual. Even when she’s jutting her jaw in spastic episodes like an unhinged Ruth Buzzi, her humanity is apparent and her insight is breathtaking. For playing such an uncomfortable character, I missed her whenever she wasn’t onscreen. 8. Jeremy Irons, Margin Call Irons’s very presence summons actorly gusto, so it’s easy to write off his commanding performance (or any of his performances) as a mere extension of his Shakespearean bravado. But Irons is no ham as CEO John Tuld in the bracing ensemble drama Margin Call; he’s the perfect picture of bureaucratic spinelessness. If you’re wondering what happened to the ungodly chill he once emanated as Claus von Bulow, look for it in his delivery of Margin Call’s spookiest insight into Wall Street politics: “If you’re first out the door, that’s not called panicking.” 7. Ralph Fiennes, Coriolanus Stephanie Zacharek is on to something when she denounces the relatively ho-hum proceedings of Coriolanus’s original text, but let’s remember to commemorate Ralph Fiennes’s directorial debut for its greatest asset: crackling performances. As the titular veteran who wears his moral conflict like an Egyptian death mask, Fiennes’s rage transcends mugging, warps into agony, and projects thunderous depth. Thunderous, I say! He’s so thoroughly and bleakly numbed to the strife and fanfare he abandons in wartorn “Rome” that his grisly comeuppance in the movie’s final moments feels like something of a relief. You see, Fiennes’s performance is an internal bloodbath long before we’re confronted with a viciously Technicolor one — and if there’s any justice, he’ll be rewarded with the Best Actor nomination that he was snubbed for after Quiz Show. 6. Shailene Woodley, The Descendants The most revered teenage performances seem to share the same dichotomies: childlike overreaction and burgeoning maturity, self-assurance and bubbling insecurity, sensibility and selfishness. Woodley is no iconoclast in these departments, but she gives Alexander Payne’s drippy, but poignant The Descendants its handfuls of urgency and momentum. While I’d hate to whittle her fabulous — and subtle — work down to one scene, the most memorable sequence I’ve seen all year is Woodley’s underwater breakdown in her family’s pool. It’s a heartbreaking and startling shot, but moreover, it’s an expression of unadulterated fear that confronts the viewer and challenges him to disbelieve her.

Survivor: South Pacific Winner Sophie Clarke: "I'm Trying to Be a Little Sunnier"

Sophie Clarke, Jeff Probst If anyone understands the importance of an immunity challenge it would have to be Sophie Clarke. As one of the final contestants left on Survivor: South Pacific, the 22-year-old medical student from Willsboro, NY, was no frontrunner. But after winning the last immunity challenge of the season and ousting fan favorite and Survivor veteran Oscar "Ozzy" Lusth at the 11th hour, the game was suddenly Clarke's to win. We caught up with Clarke right after she beat out Benjamin "Coach" Wade and baseball coach Albert Destrade for the grand prize of $1 million to find out what she was thought her chances of winning were after the final tribal council, how the show changed her life and why she would return to Survivor in a heartbeat.TV Guide Magazine: How did you feel going into the finale?Clarke: I was so nervous. I was watching the show backstage and I started crying watching myself cry. I thought I would break down.TV Guide Magazine: Did you think you were going to win?Clarke: I had a good feeling. You never know, right? You never know if at the last second these people that you're getting a good read on write down Albert's name, or something. So, I felt like I was going to win, but it was a close vote.TV Guide Magazine: That last tribal council was kind of gnarly. Clarke: I don't think you saw all the gnarl that was there! Everyone was lighting into everyone. I think the only comfort... well, there were two things that were comforting. One was that Coach was getting it much worse than I was. Albert was getting it much worse than both of us. And I had champagne in my water bottle from the breakfast, so that was calming my nerves as well.TV Guide Magazine: Your personality came under a lot of scrutiny during the season. What did you take away from all that criticism?Clarke: I've always considered my confidence to be an attribute, and I've always kind of been proud of how blunt I was. I just felt like it was me. I haven't changed that but I'm just more aware of how it comes off to people initially. I'm more aware of my first impressions. I'm trying to be a little more like Dawn [Meehan], a little sunnier.TV Guide Magazine: There seemed to be no love lost between you and some of the other contestants on the show, but now you all seem chummy again. Clarke: It is a game, and part of my game was just to be a hard-ass and observing people and staying the course and being serious and calm. I didn't want to align with the Savaii [tribe]. I didn't want to be friends with them. I wanted them out. So it's very different in the game and out of the game. Also, I really felt like I, more than anyone, had my personality stripped of me because of the [lack of] food. I didn't feel like myself out there. I'm usually a very funny, joyful person, and I felt the whole time like I was Mrs. Potato Head - expressionless. It was really awful.TV Guide Magazine: What happened?Clarke: We were starving. Physically I looked different, I lost so much weight. But emotionally, it's overwhelming.TV Guide Magazine: I've been told you feel emotions like you've never felt before?Clarke: Oh, exactly! I was saying to Dawn, I'm terrified that I'm never going to feel such extreme emotions again in my life. I participated in this charity event, fasting for a day for health clinic, and I was so excited by it because I thought, maybe by the end of the day I'll feel the same kind of joy about eating a banana that I felt on the island. And of course, I didn't. You can never recapture it. I think that's why all these Survivors keep going back. When we were out there we thought they were crazy. This is sadistic! Why would you ever want to do this to your body again? And now I understand. It's really the emotions. I can't describe them and they can't come across on TV. Watching the show and being on the show are two different experiences. It's life-changing.TV Guide Magazine: You mentioned that on TV. What is the greatest change?Clarke: I think you're at your weakest, you're at your most vulnerable. You learn so much about what you can do physically and emotionally - what you can handle. It gives you so much confidence in your everyday life. It's hard to say anything else is a challenge.TV Guide Magazine: Would you do Survivor again?Clarke: I would do it again in a heartbeat. It sounds so ridiculous to say. I have nothing to prove, it's more about recapturing the emotions and meeting a whole group of new people.TV Guide Magazine: What are you going to do with $1 million?Clarke: I'm in medical school right now, so I have a lot of loans. Well, I'm not going to have a lot of loans. It eases my mind a lot.Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine now!

'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Trailer: The Rock, Channing Tatum and Bruce Willis Save the World

.post-content img {display:none;} You probably didn't think much of 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra' despite its $300 million worldwide gross. After all, the film -- from noted hack director Stephen Sommers -- was savaged by critics, and audiences didn't seem too pleased either -- at least judging by 'G.I. Joe's' heinous IMDb user rating. Fortunately, 'The Rise of Cobra' came out at a time when ticket buyers were spending money like the 1%; put out 'The Rise of Cobra' now, and it would be lucky to hit $200 million worldwide -- even in 3D. So! How did Paramount change 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' in an effort to prevent the sequel from paying for the sins of the original? By casting Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Bruce Willis and Tyra from 'Friday Night Lights,' of course! Directed by the increasingly interesting Jon M. Chu, 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' plays like a sweatier version of 'Mission: Impossible.' The 'Joe' team is wrongfully accused of being a threat to national security and all are killed -- except for Roadblock (Johnson), Duke (Channing Tatum) and Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki; TYRA!). Together they team with original G.I. Joe, Joe Colton (Bruce Willis), to stop Cobra from taking over the White House. "The world ain't saving itself," says Roadblock before a techno version of 'Seven Nation Army' kicks in on the soundtrack. Hey, why not? 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' hits theaters on June 29, 2012.
