You’d better think twice if you decide to be naughty instead of nice.

An angelic portrayal of Christmas Eve. Just thinking of those few lines…’Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house…..’ Oh what bliss!

Since when was Christmas all about happiness and frivolity? Thanks to Hollywood, the Christmas cinema cliché has become all about love, magic and general happiness. However, “Dearly Beloved…” – directed by David Fincher, is a whole new barrel of fish.

What was a warm Disneyesque concept becomes a violent ecological nightmare in the hands of director Tony Scott in this animated adventure for kids and adults alike – but mostly for adults

“Ho, Ho, Ho Mother-F**kers!”

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all cross the base, not a creature was stirring…except the Zombies trying to tear off your face!’

Yuletide and extreme violence meet in this explosive action movie, featuring Santa Claus as you’ve never seen him before. Emotional, cathartic and with some perfectly-judged set-pieces, this is one to look out for this Christmas.

From the second that Emily Browning stalks into Jamel Debbouze’s sepia-soaked Parisian hovel apartment, blue Gitane smoke curling from her lips, his expression says it all – he’s hit the jackpot. Luc Besson directs this distinctly Gallic take on Kill Bill.

Surely a good, old-fashioned broken-hearted romance shouldn’t gel too well with the supposed happiness and frivolities of the Christmas season? The sad thing is, that in a beautiful, broken and tangibly human manner, Silent Night does just that.

Imagine The Expendables kicking ass in a snowglobe. Imagining that? Good. ‘The Cold War Just Froze Over’ – it’s Stay Frosty.
