‘Don’t travel’
Young screenwriter Dev (Matthew Sato) will do anything to make it in Hollywood. However, he makes the mistake of befriending unpredictable, possibly murderous drug addict Trip (Will Sennett), the son of a top Hollywood producer.

‘The Family Plan 2’
Mark Wahlberg returns as a former government assassin/loving father in the action comedy sequel, this time with a holiday spin. He and his family travel to London to celebrate Christmas with his daughter, but a feud with an old enemy (Kit Harington) forces him and his loved ones on a journey through Europe filled with international intrigue.

‘good boy’
Believe it or not, the hottest new horror movie of the year stars an adorable Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever. The dog named Indie stars as a canine best friend whose owner moves into his grandfather’s old place and is haunted by a dark spirit. The dog doing everything it can to protect itself in a horror movie is equal parts disturbing and thoughtful.

‘Jingle Bell Robbery’
Sophia (Olivia Holt) is an American retail worker living in London who cannot afford her mother’s cancer surgery. Nick (Connor Swindells) is a divorced mechanic struggling to support his child. They team up to rob a posh department store on Christmas – and may even find some holiday love in the seasonal romantic comedy.

‘Oh, hi!’
A new couple (Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman) travel to the countryside for their first romantic vacation: a lake makeout session, an over-the-top rendition of “Islands in the Stream” and some harmless sex play. Then a true revelation overturns those lovemaking antics and sends the rom-com into “sad” but fun territory.

‘Train Dreams’
Set in the early 19th century, the entertaining and thoughtful period drama stars Joel Edgerton as a logger working on building a railroad in the Pacific Northwest whose job keeps him away from his wife (Felicity Jones) for long periods of time. Tragedies and a changing America test his abilities as he struggles to live his life and move forward.
Where to watch: Netflix
‘Ugly Step Sister’
In this clever blend of “Cinderella” and “The Substance,” Elvira (Lea Myren) goes to extremes to marry her kingdom’s charming poet prince. But the “beautification” procedure to beat out the competition includes old-school rhinoplasty and the use of tapeworms (eww) in a stomach-churning body horror twist on a familiar fairy tale.
