With this, you’ll witness the saga of Skywalker coming to an end as Finn, Poe, and Rey try and fight against the First Order forces and Kylo Ren. You can call Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker as officially the longest movie ever from the Star Wars creation. The movie is revolved around wrapping up the Skywalker saga that was started way back in 1977; it’s also the sequel to the trilogy. In this sequel, you’ll be introduced to many new characters as well. This movie sure does look promising and the Star Wars fans cannot wait to soak in some Star Wars spirit.
2. Cats On December 20th

We’ve had many Broadway musicals turn into movies; however, this Cats movie has to be the weirdest one ever, don’t you agree? Tom Hooper’s adaptation boasts about the “digital fur technology” and it doesn’t end there… we’ll see Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, and Idris Elba sing and dance around like humanoid felines on the gigantic sets of this film. If you are a careful movie observer and not just a buff, you’ll notice how December has become a month for many musicals in the recent years, for example, Mary Poppy Returns, The Greatest Showman, etc. Many are predicting that this movie is going to be as big a hit as its original show; we, as spectators can only wait and watch.
3. Spies In Disguise On December 25th

We never imagined that Will Smith will rock the audience even when he has got a CG (Computer Graphic) makeover done. His role as Genie in Aladdin blew every spectator’s mind away; right from a small kid to a grown-up. Everybody admired his comic timing in the movie, in spite of his CG avatar. And he’s back with another avatar, that of a spy in this movie. The irreverent entertainment that this movie depicts in its trailers, we sure are ready to welcome some holiday frivolity with this flick.
4. Little Women On December 25th

The mission is to go deliver a message in the heart of the enemy territory and they ought to do it on time in order to stop their men from falling prey to a deadly trap.

You can call this movie a death row drama in every sense. This Chinonye Chukwu’s movie captures the story of a prison warden. The role of this prison warden, Bernadine Williams is played by Alfre Woodard. The story speaks of the heavy, guilt-filled heart of a prison warden after he carries out a copious number of executions. The film captures the true, yet horrific essence of the corridors and offices which are covered with the stench of death.
