Now I have a machine gun. Ho Ho Ho.

It’s easy to forget how much Die Hard changed the action movie landscape. John McClane wasn’t a killing machine, he was an everyman who just wouldn’t give up. Throw in a perfectly villainous Alan Rickman and you’ve got an all-time great action movie, and a bono-fide Christmas classic.

A Satoshi Kon Classic Returns

Three people have their lives upended when they find a child in a dumpster on Christmas Eve. Without homes or families of their own, they decide to solve the mystery of the abandoned child, and set out in search of her parents. What follows is funny, heartfelt and harrowing in equal measure, and another reminder of Kon’s singular talent.

How are these guys not dead?

As kids, we loved this movie for the slapstick traps and goofy performances. As adults, we can’t help but notice that Kevin McCallister (Macauley Culkin) has terrible parents and might be a psychopath. This may actually improve the film, but it’s definitely a different viewing experience.

Never feed them after midnight

Of course we’re playing Gremlins again. It’s got director Joe Dante (The Howling), writer Chris Columbus (The Goonies), and even a Dick Miller cameo (His seventh in a film we’ve played). Basically, it’s a bunch of our favorite people making a goopy holiday horror-satire.

the hap-hap-happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap danced with Danny F***ing Kaye.

Join the Griswold’s for another disastrous, fun old-fashioned family Christmas. Christmas Vacation may be the closest thing we have to a holiday tradition; we’ve played it every year since re-opening the theater.

Santa’s spreading holiday fear this year!

Turns out Santa Claus (WWE SUPERSTAR BILL GOLDBERG) isn’t the sweet old fellow we all thought. He’s a devil, and the only thing that kept his bad side in check was a bet he lost to an angel. After 1000 years of playing nice, the bet is up, and Santa’s about to open up a can of holiday Whoop-Ass!
