Significant Thrills & Puppets

The National Film Registry has put another 25 films into their significant vault. One of them is The Muppet Movie. The other is Thriller, Michael Jackson's music video. I find that a bit unfair, since it's not a movie but a music video. Still, I guess it's a tribute that those guys bended the rules for MJ.

DVD Reivew: Muppets Letters To Santa

In the past two Muppet TV specials, the Muppets have acted wildly inappropriate and just haven't had the same magic. Have they hit that hillarity this time? Almost. Almost my friends, but...DANG!! They come so close here it's amazing.

Gonzo and pals go off to the post office to dleiver their letters to Santa. However, a mishap there leaves their letters unsent. So, Kermit, Fozzie, Pepe, Rizza and Gonzo head off to the North Pole to give the letters to Santa before it's too late.

The Muppets act much better here. However, they aren't too tame that they don't give a single laugh. They still give off many a-chuckles including a funny bit with Sam the Eagle and letters and Fozzie's jokes (including the return of Wakka Wakka). It's a little too long, but there is still much fun to be had in the Muppets as this movie shows.

Rating: 7.9 out of 10 or B+

Muppet Christmas Comeback

If you like the Muppets, read this article. It talks about all the things the Muppets are doing recently, including a recrod-breaking viral video and a JAy Leno and Jimmy Fallon appearence.

There's also a great contest where you can create a Muppet and it'll be in a video with Kermit and Fozzie. I love the Muppets, so I'm glad they are making a comeback. I didn't know they got that honor in People magazine, but I'm glad they did.

Oh, and Muppets: Letters To Santa is on tonight. It's on NBC at 8/7:00 central. I'll be watching it and have a review up for it soon.
