The wonderful Mr. Drakulus nominated me for these forever ago, and I feel like a wretched individual for just now getting around to them! Nonetheless, I thought I’d sneak this post in before the start of a new year. So here we go!

Frozen: a Disney delight
Hello, friends! After a brief holiday hiatus, I’m back! However, I think I might be the very last person on Earth to review this film. Or at least the last person on WordPress. I don’t know how many of you have been paying attention to the saga of me trying to see this movie, but it’s been quite a journey. Continue reading
12 Films of Christmas 2013: Classic Christmas Cartoons
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYBODY!!! Well, Merry Christmas Eve, if we’re being technical, but who cares? As far as I’m concerned, Christmas is a 48-hour affair. I hope your day has been merry and bright so far, and I certainly hope you’re not one of those poor souls out doing last-minute shopping. If you are…well, Godspeed. Continue reading
12 Films of Christmas 2013: It’s a Wonderful Life
I have written my eleventh film of Christmas review in the eleventh hour! I’m not sure how many of you will even read this or my next review, what with the joyous craziness of Christmas only a couple days away. I’ve barely had time to peruse WordPress myself, so forgive me if I haven’t been giving your blog all the love it deserves. Continue reading
12 Films of Christmas 2013: Love Actually
In a mad dash to the finish line mere days before Christmas, I am now nine reviews deep in my 12 Films of Christmas series. Despite a few little bumps along the way in my one-horse open sleigh (I did not intentionally rhyme that, I swear), I’ve watched several wonderful movies that have been just the ticket to drum up some holiday spirit. Continue reading
12 Films of Christmas 2013: The Muppet Christmas Carol
After the last review for my 12 Films of Christmas series (you can read all of these reviews in the archives), I hope you all don’t think I’m determined to be a Grinch. Honestly, I didn’t know The Polar Express would be so disappointing. I’ll make you a solemn Christmas promise right now: all of the rest of the films in this series are good—even great! Continue reading
6-Month Blogiversary!
My, oh, my–how six months fly! Seriously, I cannot believe it’s been six months since I started Silver Screen Serenade. On June 20th, I was but a wee baby blogger introducing herself to the big ol’ world. And now? Well, now I’m really not much more than a toddler blogger (if even that), but I’d like to believe I’ve learned a thing or two. Continue reading
12 Films of Christmas 2013: The Polar Express
Six days until Christmas? Twelve days of 2013 left? When did all this happen?! Still seems like this year has only just begun…Anyway, I’m kind of stalling. Why, you may ask? After watching and reviewing seven Films of Christmas—all of which I enjoyed to varying degrees—I decided to watch a film that I hadn’t ever seen before. Continue reading
12 Films of Christmas 2013: Elf
Time for another Christmas film! I hope that your day has been as holly and jolly as a Tuesday can possibly be, but if you’re feeling a little like a Grinch, here’s something that might give you some cheer: Christmas Eve is ONE WEEK from today! …Actually, I hope that didn’t just stress you out. Let me rephrase: You still have A WHOLE WEEK to finish up shopping! Continue reading
12 Films of Christmas 2013: Home Alone
Time to cut out the reindeer games—I need to get going on these Christmas films! So far, I’ve discussed five joyful and triumphant holiday films (check them out in the 12 Films of Christmas Archives if you missed them), and here we are at the halfway point! I gotta say, of the films I’ve covered for this series so far, this is the one I’m least likely to handle with objectivity. Continue reading
