Want to see an awesome trailer for what looks like a brand new classic Christmas movie? Check out the trailer for Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale below and get in the spirit of giving.

Was that not awesome? This has got to be one of the best voice over scripts for a trailer ever. So why should you drag everyone you know to the theatres this Christmas? Because Rare Exports looks like it will appeal to a lot of different audiences.

1 – It’s foreign so you can tell the hot girl in class that you got some culture over the break.

2 – It’s a holiday movie so you can go with the whole family

3 – It’s educational focusing on an archaeological dig.

In all seriousness though, I think I am going to have to watch this at some point. This is the synopsis directly copied from Quicktime:

It’s the eve of Christmas in northern Finland and an “archeological” dig has just unearthed the real Santa Claus. But this particular Santa isn’t the one you want coming to town. When all the local children begin mysteriously disappearing, young Pietari and his father Rauno, a reindeer hunter by trade, capture the mythological being and attempt to sell Santa to the misguided leader of the multinational corporation sponsoring the dig. Santa’s elves, however, will stop at nothing to free their fearless leader from captivity. What ensues is a wildly humorous nightmare – a fantastically bizarre polemic on modern day morality. RARE EXPORTS: A CHRISTMAS TALE is a re-imagining of the most classic of all childhood fantasies, and is a darkly comic gem soon to be required perennial holiday viewing.

And here’s a trailer with a more serious tone.

I’m at that moment in life where I’m seriously going to get my eyes checked. Eating that much food in one sitting is religously impossible and the gods are punishing me…..

Hope everyone out there in the blogosphere had a wonderful holiday – and even if you don’t celebrate the birth of the long haird guy in the mel gibson movie I hope you had a great day off.

That was lame, but this is a picture of the newest addition to my household.

I’m thining all of the kids in the lower mainland gathered one night to ask for a white Christmas, then devoted their years to being good. This is ridiculous. I just returned home after dropping off a friend in Surrey (that’s a story for another time) and had to drive around in this….
