Movie Reviews of Christmas In New York
Movie Review: Bring me back home..Christmas in NY...Loved it!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Awesome! I wasn't expecting live video, I just thought it would be a slideshow to music. Boy was I wrong! I have it playing on my 55 inch plasma and feel like I am back home. My 3 year old especially loves the part showing the citicorp train set up, it was awesome to watch! I also loved the neighborhoods showing snow and lights and decorations, made me feel like I was looking back at my old street, just gave me that magical feeling like you only have as a child. :)
Of coarse I didn't live in the city, we lived on the island, but we would go to the city at Christmas when I was little to see the Nutcracker, and Rockefeller Plaza, and window shop. just to see the snow, the decorations the trees, the people, just brought back such warm memories for me, as I am homesick for snow here in the south. I am planning to play it all night for my Christmas Eve company, and than bring it with me to my sisters for Christmas Day, of coarse I am sure the guys will turn it off to watch football. lol... Anyway I didn't get it here at amazon, cause I found it at CD universe for $6.99. What a bargin! Highly recommended!!!!!!
PS: The only thing I would have liked to see done differently, but is ok as is.. would be some actual classic Christmas music, performed by original artists, but I guess that gets into copyright issues. Anyway my work around when I get tired of the music on disk (which is nice and very relaxing btw) is to dub my direct-tv XM holly channel 107 through the receiver, so I see the video of the dvd but the audio of the Christmas channel which has all the classics... awesome!!!! I am ready for Santa now :) lol....
Movie Review: Totally Unique Christmas Item!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first played this DVD, I wasn't expecting much more than some cliche images of classic New York Christmas scenes. Boy, was I surprised when I found myself sitting there through the entire 90 minutes -- even though the packaging suggests playing it in background at holiday party or while opening presents. The images are beautifully shot and edited to a great selection of Christmas music as varied as the images themselves. I would expect to pay this price for a CD of the music alone!
It conveys a real festive Christmas air! Christmas In New York Great value!
UPDATE: I recently returned to order some copies as gifts and discovered the original DVD's been updated with several new 'bonus' scenes. Even greater value!
Movie Review: Pleasant Surprise!
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't been in New York during a Christmas snowfall, well - since I was a kid. Except on this DVD -- which has scenes all over New York City and it's snowing, snowing, snowing! Not only are there scenes of virtually every beautifully decorated NY/Christmas landmark you can think of, but many of them are photographed during, and in, heavy snow! This makes it very special for me because that's how I remember Christmas as a kid in NYC - with snow. The editing moves to the classic Christmas music and it runs 90 minutes with very little repetition, but the best part is the photography which sets a delightful mood. A friend sent it last Christmas and I only now got around to looking at it - and what a pleasant surprise! I'm going to rewrap and give it to myself again this Christmas!Movie Review: Puts you in the Christmas mood
Summary: 5 Stars
This dvd is wonderful. Scenes all over New York City. You can almost feel the cold and see your breath as you experience wonderful holiday scenes from the famous Angels to Central Park, which is a dazzler!
The music is perfect and seems to be coreographed to fit the scenes at times. There is amazing footage of a miniature New York City (historical)
set up in a beautful atrium with a great train running through , a babbling brook , green grass , trees and shrubs. Macy's windows, carriage rides, lights, trees , fountains, wind, snow ... in short all the things that make Christmas and winter the wonderful season that it is. Buy it, and you may be back to purchase some as gifts!!
Movie Review: Beats 'Christmas Log' video by miles!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just bought a 42" plasma screen and was looking for some 'wallpaper' video I could play on it when not watching TV or entertaining. I have a video of the Yule Log buring in a fireplace and was looking for something along that line.
This DVD is that, but it delivers much, much more. It's an hour and a half of great images that never repeat. The shots are edited to flow with the music and they've managed to put about 20 or so great xmas selections that seem drawn from many different sources, from full orchestras to choral to simple woodwinds. I'm going to order a few more as gifts because I have some friends, who when they see this, will want to have their own copies.
