Special holiday videos — Watch No. 3 now
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Grandpa Smithee played a musical saw. He would dress in his finest Austrian Von Trapp suit to play “Edelweiss.”
This man, however, determines it’s just fine to perform “SILENT NIGHT” ON A SAW while wearing casual shorts. Hope he doesn’t cut a leg.
Enjoy.

See the major Oscar contender ‘Atonement’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Here’s my indubitable list of what matters most among new movies this weekend:
1. “Atonement” — I’d give it 3-1 odds right now for Oscar’s best picture.
2. “The Golden Compass” — Certainly watchable, but if it slowed down a bit and gave me more about the characters I’d like it better.
3. “Romance and Cigarettes” — It pretty much lost me when the garbage men hopped off their truck and started singing and dancing in the street.
4. “Freshman Orientation” — A straight guy pretends to be gay to get a girl. In other words, this movie pretends to be “Tootsie.” Guess which movie was better.
5. “Noelle” — I don’t have a problem with the decidedly Christian theme. I have a problem with the wooden acting.
6. “O Jerusalem” — I really shouldn’t say anything because I was so bored I got up and walked out.
