Since it is the Christmas Season, I figured I would share my favorite Christmas Songs with you guys. These are the ones that I love the best because they evoke the best Christmas memories of my life. Here we go... Mr. Mike D's favorite Christmas Songs!!!
The Royal Guardsman - Christmas Bells (Snoopy vs The Red Baron)
This is probably my favorite Christmas song ever... it reminds me of my childhood so much! Any group that works Snoopy into their song will surely score points with any 80's babies.... especially me!!!
Bing Crosby & David Bowie - Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth
One of the most awkward partnerings in the history of music, this duet works extremely well. I love this rendition of this song, and I love the video for it. Wonderful... just wonderful!
Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas
One of the greatest modern Christmas songs of all time... and just look at her in this video!!!
The Chipmunks - The Christmas Song
This song reminds me of my sister Oona... opening gifts, playing with toys, and listening to this song on a record that she had. God I miss her more & more each year... love you sis, R.I.P. OD!!!
Lou Monte - Dominick, The Italian Christmas Donkey
If you are an Italian, you know this song was a part of Christmas growing up... you gotta love Lou Monte!!!

DVD Release Day March 30,2010
This is Guy Ritchie's take on the classic english detective that starred in the stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Ritchie is know for gritty, grimy crime drama's that are filled with wit and humor... and in this version of Holmes, he does not disappoint. Downey is awesome as Holmes, creating the perfect balance between eccentric and genius. Law plays a much different Dr. Watson then we have seen in the past. In this film version he is not just a sidekick, he is an equal to Holmes as well as a good friend concerned for his good friends mental health. Mack Strong has the villian thing down pat, and his turn in this film cements him as one of the great bad guys in recent cinema. After he becomes a star in Green Lantern next year, you will remember that this is where the casting directors probably fell in love with him. The stage is set for a sequel, so I think this is just the first step in a potential franchise for Ritchie and the crew.
Released in 1951, some people view this as the greatest animation ever done in the history of the Disney studios. Telling the story of Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland and intertwining in certain elements from his sequel Through The Looking Glass. It features the most songs of any Disney film and was also one of the first Disney movies to be released on home video. The movie was a pet project of Walt Disney himself, and although it never recieved such great results upon intial release, it has gained cult status over the years. The 70's drug counter-culture brought the film into popular circles again, and its been enjoying a status boost ever since. Disney is trying to capitalize of the success of Tim Burton's live action version of the story, so why not release a DVD of the seminal animated version of the same story. Even 59 years later, the film holds up. Enjoyable for the whole family.
Also Being Released This Week: Alvin and The Chipmunks 2: The Squeakquel, The Abbott and Costello Complete Series, Collateral (Blu-Ray), An Education, Lupin the 3rd: Episode 0
