This weekend to celebrate the spirit of Christmas Star Movies will
air two X-mas themed movies as a part of its Big Two programming
initiative.
On Christmas Day 25 December Santa Clause 2 takes centrestage
at 9 pm. In the sequel to Santa Clause Scott Calvin (Tim
Allen) has been Santa Claus for the past eight years, and his loyal
elves consider him the best Santa ever. But Santa's got problems
(he's even mysteriously losing weight) and things quickly go south
when he finds out that his son, Charlie, has landed on this year's
"naughty" list.
Desperate to help his son, Scott heads back home, leaving a substitute
Claus to watch over things at the Pole. But when the substitute
institutes some strange redefinitions of naughty and nice, putting
Christmas at risk, it's up to Scott to return with a new bag of
magic to try to save Christmas.
Those tired of seeing feel good cheery Christmas movies may want
to check out the black comedy Bad Santa. This airs on 26
December at 9 pm. Here Billy Bob Thornton plays a booze swilling
thief dressed up as Santa Clause. He along with his sidekick have
robbed several department stores over the years.
