Jim Carrey’s performance is iconic, and I think the movie is a pretty effective indictment of capitalist Christmas culture; the “holiday Cheermeister” segment is particularly harrowing.

The animated original version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas with Boris Karloff narrating and Thurl Ravenscroft singing is the best version and an essential part of my Christmas every year.

Of all the movie adaptations of Dr. Seuss's 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas,' this is definitely the wildest and weirdest of the bunch. And I kind of love that about it. Jim Carrey is perfectly cast as the grumbly green humbug and the…

I don't remember if I ever got the chance to watch this movie growing up, but I'm glad I did this year. The music is fantastic and I loved seeing the Grinch finally come around to the idea of Christmas.

Yes. Meet Mr. Grinch - He's the absolute meanest (and the greenest) meanie of them all!
What would this happy "Holiday Season" be without at least one viewing of this thoroughly delightful, animated, feature film from 1966?
Based on Dr.…

An almost completely different story from the Seuss book. (And, of course, almost nothing to do with Christmas.) However, it does have it's own points. Carrey's antics can be both funny and annoyingly intrusive, often at the same time. …
