This Thursday, after the presents have been unwrapped, the turkey has been carved and Uncle Charlie has passed out on the sofa, how will you be spending the remainder of your Christmas? If Hollywood has anything to say about it, you’ll be spending your holiday in a darkened theater. There will be plenty of options for everyone in the multiplexes this year, so sit back, relax and take a look at what all there is to offer.
For the kids there’s Adam Sandler starring in his first family comedy Bedtime Stories and Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson in Marley & Me about a naughty puppy who teaches important life lessons (or something like that).
For those of you who prefer their movies with leading men in facial wear, there’s The Spirit based on the hit graphic novel and Valkyrie about Tom Cruise in an eye-patch (and a plot to kill Hitler for good measure).
And of course, being the end of the year, there’s plenty of films hankering for Oscar nods. On the roster is Revolutionary Road, which marks the reunion of Titanic’s Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet and Kathy Bates. An even bigger reunion happens in Last Chance Harvey which stars Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson, who of course starred together in the blockbuster Stranger Than Fiction.
If you can’t find a film to satisfy your needs this holiday season, then perhaps you should just jump on the sofa and snooze the day away with Uncle Charlie. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good viewing experience.
