December Releases
'Tis the season for moviegoing, and the box office is dropping some serious bombs (probably in both senses of the word) in time for the holidays. The biggest light in the theatrical Christmas Tree is undoubtedly the last installment of the Skywalker saga from Star Wars. Though this trilogy has been mired in both unwarranted criticism and justified skepticism, it's still Star Wars, and fans no doubt will tune in to see Rey, Finn, and the rest of the cast execute this swan song for the Skywalker legacy. Beside that behemoth, many other gems will debut this month, including The Aeronauts, a film about a pioneering balloon flight probably better known for its...controversial choice to replace real balloonist hero Henry Coxwell with movie-made character Amelia Wren; and the newest disturbing trend in modern psychological "smart horror," Daniel Isn't Real, where a troubled college freshman resurrects an imaginary childhood friend to cope with a recent trauma, but ends up with far more than he bargained for.
For the gamer in your family, the release of Star Ocean: First Departure R - an enhanced, remade title of the first of the long running, popular Star Ocean series - will surely please the RPG fan, while the more cerebral player should check out Mosaic, a bleak, mysterious adventure game by Norwegian developers Killbite Studios which captures almost too perfectly the feeling of being a cog in the machinery of society.
