Deck the Halls

With Matthew Broderick, Danny DeVito and Kristin Davis amongst the cast of this movie, it goes without saying that you're in for a laugh. There is always one house in any street that outdoes all the others when it comes to Christmas decorations.

Deck The Halls is available from December 21st.

There's always one toy that becomes 'the' toy that every kid wants for Christmas. It inevitably sells out and there's a desperate rush as parents tries to secure one. That's the premise of this film.

Fancy a sing song? Bill is worried that a dreadful snowstorm will stop people from being able to get to his show. But, surprise!

With plenty of guns and violence, it's not your traditional Christmas movie but it does have some classic festive quotes.

Bill Murray is Frank Cross, an anguished TV network president who is approaching the Christmas season not in the best of moods. Think Scrooge in an update of A Christmas Carol. Given it was made in 1988, it's not exactly a modern remake but it might be a nice change of pace from the varied selection of animated kids movies that'll be on TV over the Christmas period.
