2011年接近尾聲，而聖誕檔期也逐漸有不少的電影公映，讓大家可以於假期期間到戲院觀賞電影。宏觀今年的檔期，其實可以用「失色」來形容……
今年聖誕檔期電影，包括剛於上星期三已作優先放映的兩部荷里活製作《職業特工隊：鬼影約章》與《福探福爾摩斯：詭影遊戲》，以及下星期將公映的《吸血新世紀4破曉傳奇上集》、《龍門飛甲3D》、《花鼠明星俱樂部3》與《踢躂小企鵝2 3D》。
從以上的電影片目來看，老笑咸宜的有，愛情死心塌地的也有，當然不乏大製作的動作片，而於這兩星期的華語片代表，就只有徐克執導的首部3D電影《龍門飛甲》。不過從這些電影來看，這兩星期真正可以吸引筆者入場的，大慨就只有兩部荷里活大製作電影《職業特工隊：鬼影約章》與《福探福爾摩斯：詭影遊戲》，而《吸血新世紀4破曉傳奇上集》因為被頭兩集的水準嚇至已經放棄再入場觀看的意慾，其餘的動畫作品也沒有吸引力。
反而，有興趣觀看的作品，則集中於2011年的最後一個星期放映的電影，當中包括艾慕杜華新作《我的華麗皮囊》、金馬倫高爾最新作品《翻身動物園》，以及香港電影代表《Laughing Gor之潛罪犯》，而《我的華麗皮囊》與一月才正式公映，由張藝謀執導的《金陵十三釵》將於聖誕期間作優先公映，可謂對這聖誕檔期的失色添上一點的色彩。
在這聖誕檔期期間，大家有沒有心水呢？其實筆者有少少衝動想於這檔期期間，於戲院再看《星空》，相信這段時間看該片，應該更有味道的。

Alex, you have very similar sentiments to mine. I always feel that HK exhibitors do not schedule movies that I like to see during long holidays.
Most of us movie lovers have a great time this past Autumn, as we see various sorts of non-Hollywood big budget movies from September to November, allowing surprises.
The only movie I have a real interest in seeing is 《翻身動物園》, as I like to see if Cameron Crowe is making a comeback, and I always admire the movie choices of Matt Damon, so I am really anticipating this one, although I am worried the HK market will not be receptive, as always, to Matt Damon starrers.
Normally I have remote interest in watching Hollywood effects/action movies, but I may be tempted to see《職業特工隊：鬼影約章》, as this one seems to be getting some sensational reviews both in American and HK radio.
《金陵十三釵》is sort of the politically correct safe drama that I have no interest to see no matter how well made it may be. 《我的華麗皮囊》seems to be a decent choice, but as ticket admissions continue to rise, I will probably hold out seeing this one.
