Trying to capture the magic of her now-traditional Christmas road show, Amy Grant offers ... more
the solid but not substantialA Christmas to Remember. Since 1993, Grant and friends, along with the Nashville Symphony, have taken their brand of musical holiday cheer on limited tours. Show staples such as "Gabriel's Oboe" and "Highland Cathedral" are documented here, but they sound flat. However, a few songs--the newly penned title track, the nostalgic "Christmas Can't Be Very Far Away," and the playful "Mr. Sandman"-redo "Mr. Santa"--live up to Grant's usual high standards. A moody, ethereal "Silent Night" and a subtle reworking of Michael W. Smith's "Agnus Dei" are also of interest. WhileA Christmas to Remembermay not be one of Grant's finest moments, after three Christmas albums what's left to do?--Michael Lyttle

Advantages: A amazing one of a kind film, highly interesting and thought provoking Disadvantages: none
This film is one of the best i have ever seen when i first seen this me and my brother watched it on sky movies. I remember being so bored and for some reason assuming this film wouldn't be that great. I can honestly say i have never been more wrong, i have seen this film many times since and it still moves me to tears every time. I am not a weepy person, i don't cry easily at films but i think even if you are the toughest person who never cry's at films, you will be emotional once you have have seen this. Its a extremely moving film and very thought provoking too it really does get you thinking about life and sends a overwhelming message in my opinion it says there is no guarantees.
If you watch this and have been having one of those days, you know when you think everything's going wrong and life's terrible. This is a knock back to ...

THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!
A Walk toRemember remains my all time favorite movie. Sure the plot holds a common thematic element to many other movies- the perfect couple who gets separated by death. Sure it is a typical cliché in many love stories: The cool guy and the nerdish girl start going out. But what, according to me really really differentiates this movie from any other movie is the pure undiluted charm and chemistry between the actors.

Advantages: soulful, melodic Disadvantages: the media hype on amy's personal life
Amy Winehouse has courted a lot of controversy and the recent coverage of media hype on Amy's personal life overshadows this album which is a shame.
I got this album as a stocking filler at Xmas and I wasn't disappointed.
The album is good, Amy sings beautifully and I especially like the Back to Black - it is soulful and quite melodic. I'm amazed at the sounds and tones Amy can present it really is marvellous
Rehab is the song that really brought Amy into the limelight and is good, but I think a bit overplayed on the radio now. It is a good song as are all the songs on the album
It is a shame that her version of the Kook's 'Valerie' does not appear but I guess this is copyright of Mark Ronson.
In short I would recommend to others ...

Engineers include: Al Schmitt, Ron Huff, Terry Christian. Recorded at Sony Pictures Studio, Culver City, California; Sound House Studio, Brentwood, Tennessee; Sound Kitchen, Franklin, Tennessee. Eminently photogenic pop vocalist Amy Grant's holiday album A CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER is a pleasant collection that mixes Christmas standards, stirring instrumentals, and some of Grant's own late-winter compositions. Throughout, the singer receives generous backing support from the Patrick Williams Orchestra and Choir, as well as the Nashville Studio Orchestra. Originals include the album-opening title track as well as the delicate "Christmas Lullaby," on which Grant shares the spotlight with child vocalist Grace Stumb. The strains of bagpipes introduce the orchestral instrumental "Highland Cathedral." Grant's treatments of Christmas vocal standards are impressive, as her "Silent Night" and "Jingle Bell Rock" work the transporting magic that these Christmas chestnuts are known for.
