NEW YORK TIMES: Good Will to All? Not if the World Ends

On Monday Jon Stewart memorably skewered those who overuse the phrase “the war on Christmas.” But maybe he spoke too soon, because on Saturday night on Syfy, it’s Santa Claus who gets the skewering. A much more literal one.
The network, known for campy horror movies built on deliberately cheesy special effects, gives the formula a wacky holiday twist in “The 12 Disasters of Christmas,” a demented merging of a seasonal song and Maya doomsday gibberish. The movie gets an F in most of the traditional critical categories. Dialogue? F. Coherence? F. But in terms of serving as a counterweight to the syrupy fare that clogs almost every other network at this time of year, this ridiculous mess earns an A+...
Cast includes Eureka's Ed Quinn, Magda Apanowicz, Holly Elissa, Ryan Grantham, Scarlett Bruns, Donnelly Rhodes, Brenna O'Brien, Andrew Airlie, Roark Critchlow, Kaj-Erik Eriksen and Greg Kean.
