Answer a movie question, win a movie prize

Inside this box is an "Arthur Christmas" set of gift-wrapping paper and supplies inspired by the movie. You can win it by answering one question.

Who wants a free gift-wrapping set, complete with wrapping paper and bows?

How about if this set is designed by the people behind the new movie "Arthur Christmas," showing in theaters now in 3-D? That should make some kids happy on Christmas morning.

The good folks at Sony Pictures, the company behind the animated "Arthur Christmas," saw fit to send me such a gift-wrapping set. In the spirit of the season of giving, I'm going to pass the set along to one of our readers.

But they will have to answer a question to win the set, and not some simple question that they can quickly look up on the Internet. The winner may have to be a faithful reader of my film reviews -- and even then it won't be easy.

The question: After seeing more than 175 films this year, I've awarded only two movies my highest quality rating of four stars. What are these two motion pictures?

I told you it wouldn't be easy.

If you have a guess, respond here with the names of the two movies. If and when we have a winner, I'll ask that person to contact me to receive their prize.

Good luck, and happy wrapping!

Tulsa World Movie Critic Michael Smith (last year)

Congratulations to Holly, who turns out to be such a faithful Tulsa World reader that she checks out our Scene blogs on a daily basis ("I even ate at Michael V's on the night that food writer Scott Cherry was a celebrity waiter just to meet him," Holly said).

Holly will soon be receiving her set of "Arthur Christmas"-inspired gift-wrapping paper and bows with which to wrap presents.

“I was born a poor, black child” … not me, actually, but Steve Martin’s character in the “The Jerk.” That absurd opening line is just one of the absurd number of film facts, quotes and minutiae contained in movie critic Michael Smith’s brain, at his disposal to toss out on a moment’s notice. It’s a key requirement as Tulsa World film critic to know these things. Michael learned a few other life facts along the way (seven years as a Crystal’s Pizza & Spaghetti manager) before attempting journalism and joining the Tulsa World in 1996, where he’s covered everything from a school shooting in Fort Gibson to a tornado in Stroud to witnessing an execution. A little community theater coverage was sprinkled in there, too. Movies engender many of his happiest memories, from standing in line for “Star Wars” and “Grease” at the Southroads Cinema to the James Bond and Pink Panther movies that always premiered at the enormous Continental Theater.
