Decamber Releases

December Releases

My, how the year flies by.  December is already upon us, and the end of the year is bursting with the usual holiday theater sweeps, along with a few extra trimmings.  The big screen story is dominated by the superhero/fantasy block, with Aquaman, the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and the screen adaptation of book one of Phillip Reeve's steampunk epic Mortal Engines all vying for you box office dollars.  But they aren't the only heavy hitters this season; literature icon Mary Poppins makes her triumphant return to the big screen with...well, Mary Poppins Returns, while Clint Eastwood shows us how age really is just a number in The Mule, where he plays the titular drug mule hoping to outrun both the law, his "employers," and his past.  Last but not least, Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle will make its Netflix debut after a ho-hum theatrical release last week.  Here's hoping for a more favorable reception on the small screen. 
If you're looking for stocking stuffer for the gamer in your life, the industry's got your back despite the December drag with Just Cause 4, the latest installment in the action-adventure sandbox series, as well as the highly anticipated Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. For those in the mood for something a little different, the renowned Persona RPG series will release Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight worldwide on the 4th. Both games will blend the franchise's signature RPG elements with a rhythm game ala Dance Dance Revolution.
