December brings a delightful mix of nostalgic favorites and new releases to your screens. This guide highlights the best in film and television, offering something for every taste. Let’s dive into the entertainment landscape and discover what deserves your attention this month.
Reliving Cinematic Classics
Back to the Future 1-3
Film,US,1985 – 1990
Celebrate 40 years of time-traveling adventure with the Back to the Future trilogy. These films remain wonderfully captivating, largely due to the unbelievable chemistry between Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly and Christopher Lloyd as the unforgettable Doc Brown.
Consider revisiting all three, but Back to the Future Part II stands out for its imaginative vision of the future - where are those hoverboards, anyway?
honorable Mentions:
* House seasons 1-8 (TV)
* Shrek 1-3 (film)
* Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw (film, December 5th)
* Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 (TV, december 10th)
* Mad Men seasons 1-7 (TV, December 14th)
Streaming on Apple TV+
F1
Film, US, 2025 – Out December 12th
This new release attempts to capture the high-octane world of Formula one racing. It centers on a veteran racer, portrayed by Brad Pitt, making a comeback to the track.
However, the film relies heavily on a predictable narrative and feels more like an extended advertisement for the sport. While visually appealing, it lacks the risk-taking spirit it portrays on screen. It might be worth a watch if you’re a dedicated F1 fan, but don’t expect a groundbreaking cinematic experience.
Honorable Mentions:
* The First Snow of Fraggle Rock (TV, December 5th)
* Born to be Wild (TV, December 19th)
