Holiday Movie - Miracle on 34th Street (1994 version)

Saturday, December 21 at 12:00 pm

Anyone skeptical of updates retreads of Christmas movie classics may be genuinely surprised by this 1994 version of Miracle on 34th Street. Based on the 1947 holiday classic, this new Miracle sticks close to the original's story, though it offers more contemporary, crisper pacing and a tone curiously more reflective -- even sorrowful -- than before. Richard Attenborough is charming and twinkly as Kris Kringle, the part that won Edmund Gwenn an Oscar. Mara Wilson is the little New York City girl who doesn't believe in Santa Claus until Kris persuades her otherwise. Elizabeth Perkins is her hardened mother, and Dylan McDermott plays the handsome lawyer next door who defends Kris during an insanity hearing. While screenwriter John Hughes has toughened up the dialogue a bit, and McDermott's intensity looks like a dry run for his then future role on television's The Practice, this Miracle is a persuasively sweet as the one previous. --Tom Keogh/Amazon.com

Toys for Tots

T'is the season to bring toys and kids together! 

The Library is a drop off spot for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve's Toys for Tots program. Bring in new and unwrapped toys and place in our donation box. We hope to empty it and fill it several times before the Marines make their last pick up before Christmas.

No doubt your new toy will help bring a smile to the face of a child in need.
