Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and enjoy some new reviews for the films arriving on the final full week of 2019. There's a good collection of films here, with 1917 delivering an intense survival war drama, Little Women working as a great new retelling of the classic story, and Spies in Disguise plays as a fun blend of silly comedy and spy action in animated form. There's also my list of various award contenders still in theaters and now on home media, and various streaming services. The first of a few top ten lists is up as well. There are also some new home media releases as well. Finally, there are plenty of new trailers to dig into as well, along with our latest podcast covering Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Enjoy and thanks for reading!
