The Muppets
Following a 12-year hiatus, Kermit makes his return to the big screen, with some help from Jason Segel and Amy Adams. But in this age of Pixar, can a phrase like “Wokka Wokka” still bring the laughs?

This silent film about classic Hollywood is already considered a frontrunner in this year’s Oscars race, so put The Artist on your holiday must-see list.
My Week With Marilyn
’Tis the season for biopics. After J. Edgar comes My Week With Marilyn, starring Michelle Williams in the title role. Does she get the Hollywood icon right?
