Movies to Watch over Winter Break
December 9, 2021
The holiday season is a time to reflect and be grateful for what we do have, instead of what we do not have. One thing that we can do during the holiday season now that things have opened back up is going to the movie theaters.
I am personally interested in Spider-Man: No Way Home, despite being a DC fan instead of Marvel (sorry Marvel fans), because my significant other loves Spider-Man. Since we saw Spider-Man: Homecoming in theaters, I feel this may be a bit of a date night for us.
Another movie that I am interested in is Being the Ricardos because I am such a big fan of I Love Lucy. Lucille Ball is funny, charismatic, and charming. That is what we need for the holiday spirit although I am not entirely too excited about Nicole Kidman playing Ball.
Here is a list of movies set to release from December 1st to January 17th:
