A Christian Carol is strange little adaption from 2017. After viewing a few times, it hasn’t fared any better in my perception from previous years. It is another adaptation where the lead character is female. It is poorly acted. In this day and age, an independent movie does not have […]
Tonight I’ve been watching the versions of ACC where the central character is a woman. I’m starting with A Diva’s Christmas Carol though I’m adding it in later. This effort was done by VH1 in the year 2000. It is probably the best movie VH1 has ever produced. (That’s saying […]
Everyday is Christmas is one of the more recent adaptations of A Christmas Carol with a female lead. It features pop singer Toni Braxton who also serves as an executive producer. Originally presented as one of the standard Christmas offerings in 2018 by the Lifetime cable channel, it is now […]
The last decade of the 20th Century introduced the first adaptation of A Christmas Carol portraying the main character of Scrooge, at least, as a female instead of male. The 1990’s gave us at least two: first 1995’s Ebbie or Miracle at Christmas: Ebbie’s Story, followed by 1997’s Ms. Scrooge. […]
In the earlier post about Skinflint, I mentioned how 1979 was one of the more interesting years for A Christmas Carol adaptations. Rich Little’s Christmas Carol, though made in 1978, was first aired in ’79. All three of the major U.S. networks put something out that December. There was the animated […]
Rich Little’s Christmas Carol has the greatest all-star cast that never was. It is master impressionist Rich Little portraying all the characters of A Christmas Carol. Developed from an early routine, this expanded one-hour special was a CBC production airing on HBO in 1978. It wasn’t until the special was a few years […]
It’s Christmas, Carol is a 2012 A Christmas Carol adaptation produced for The Hallmark Channel in the U.S. This is now the third time I’ve put it on the annual blog. It’s Christmas, Carol belongs to the increasing number of adaptations with a female lead. It’s one of two female […]
Tonight I watched another newer adaptation that I still haven’t viewed often. This adaptation is ZogHogg Studios’ A Christmas Carol and Scrooge interpretation released in December of 2018. It’s available to rent or buy digitally. This adaptation takes place mostly in Scotland, thus giving us the first live-action Scottish Ebenezer […]
I begin my “Female Fridays” with the version that has become a tradition. It is usually the first A Christmas Carol (ACC) adaptation I watch on the first Friday of the season. The last decade of the 20th Century introduced the first adaptation of A Christmas Carol where portraying Scrooge, […]
Updated / modern-day adaptations of A Christmas Carol are not uncommon anymore. Most are usually U.S. centric and produced. An English modern-day adaptation was refreshing when it was made. It still is as it reaches its twenty-first year. 2000’s A Christmas Carol, originally presented on ITV, still isn’t available on […]
