This topic has been debated for decades since Die Hard was released, but despite what naysayers believe, it is a Christmas movie. The film’s screenwriter himself Steven E. de Souza confirmed in a 2017 Tweet that the film is a Christmas flick, even if the star, Bruce Willis, passionately declared during a 2018 Comedy Central roast that Die Hard is not a Christmas movie. Nonetheless, regardless of beliefs about this national treasure of a film, yippee-ki-yay, because it’s conveniently available to stream for free via Tubi in December, just in time for Christmas!

Over the weekend, the movie version of this show took flight during its first showing and has since surpassed all predictions, raking in record-breaking box office earnings for the highest grossing Broadway musical adaptation ever within eight days of release at the domestic box office. Remarkably, director Jon M.

You may think the Merc with a Mouth doesn’t have a filter, but it turns out there were some lines in the sand when it came to what jokes they could get away with for “Deadpool & Wolverine.” And no, it had nothing to do with Bolivian marching powder.

This week, unfortunately, we didn’t get a fresh installment of “Blue Bloods” as we approach the last month in the 2024 TV schedule. However, there are only two episodes left to go. As fans prepare to bid farewell to the Reagan family after 14 seasons, the impending goodbye is becoming more poignant than ever. To maintain excitement and remind viewers of the missed episode, Bridget Moynahan posted a selfie with an apt caption, perfectly encapsulating my feelings about this skip week.

As Christmas is approaching, we’re all aware of the usual tradition – around 7,002 fresh movies debut, and about 90% of those are from the Hallmark Channel. However, there are some unique Christmas movies that aren’t from Hallmark. One such film is the new movie starring Jack Black, titled Dear Santa. This movie seems to fit the bill for your typical heartwarming holiday comedies where a child writes a letter to Santa, and Santa shows up. But in this instance, the child accidentally spells Santa as ‘Satan’ and unwittingly summons the ruler of Hell instead. Despite the marketing promising a family-friendly movie, there could be an interesting twist – what if another film with the same plotline were released at the same time? And what if that other film also had the exact same title? Now, isn’t that an intriguing scenario to consider?
