Jack Black was born to play Santa Claus. However, he is going to have to wait a little longer, even though he is the title character in Paramount +’s Dear Santa, which is streaming now.
Liam (Robert Timothy Smith) is an awkward preteen who just moved to a new town. His father (Hayes MacArthur) hates him, as do all but one of his classmates, and he is dyslexic. To make matters even worse for him, he still believes in Santa Claus.
This is a bad thing because he decides to send a letter to the man at the North Pole. But his letter goes south when he accidentally addresses it to Satan (Jack Black).
Satan is so happy that someone actually wrote to him that he has to meet the kid who sent it to him. So, he leaves his cozy, hot home in Hell and comes up to Earth to meet his admirer.
Satan decides to pay Liam back by granting him three wishes. The only downside is that he will have to give up his soul after the third wish.
Liam’s first wish is that his crush, Emma (Kai Cech), will have a crush on him too. So Satam has worked his magic, and she is interested in him.
However, Liam is going to have to work to keep her interested. Luckily, Satan is on his side.
The first thing he does is get backstage passes and great seats to see Post Malone for the budding couple. Not only that, Satan gets Post Malone to idolize little Liam. Thus making things even sweeter for the boy.
Everything is going great. What could possibly go wrong? Liam’s dad and mom (Brianne Howey) think their son is going crazy. So they call in Dr. Finklman (Keegan-Michael Key) to evaluate Liam, and he thinks the kid is nuts.
Now Liam has to prove he is sane, along with coming up with two more wishes to please Satan. As much as he doesn’t want Satan to grant his third wish, he knows he has to do it.
What happens when his third wish is granted? Will Christmas turn into Crapmas for Liam? You will have to tune in for a Christmas movie that is just the right amount of sap.
And that is because Jack Black reteaming with The Farrelly Brothers is a Christmas wish come true.
Even though we are watching for Black, everyone else delivers a heartfelt performance with humor.
If you are like me and are over the Hallmark and Lifetime formula holiday movies but still love the genre, then this is for you! It is about time that Satan entered the season of joy!
I never thought about this until now, but Jack Black would be a great Santa Claus. While it took me all this time to realize that, Paramount+ and the Farrelly Brothers were way ahead of me with Dear Santa.
When a young boy mails his Christmas wish list to Santa with one crucial spelling error, a devilish Jack Black arrives to wreak havoc on the holidays. From the hilarious minds behind Dumb & Dumber, Christmas is about to go up in flames.
The film begins streaming on November 25th, so you have a few days before you see your family for Thanksgiving to eat it up like you will the sweet potatoes your favorite aunt made just like you like them.
Dexter has done all he can. So, it is time to take it back to where it all started.
Set in 1991, Miami, Dexter: Original Sin follows Dexter (Patrick Gibson) as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer. When his bloodthirsty urges can’t be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness. With the guidance of his father, Harry (Christian Slater), he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on law enforcement’s radar. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.
The Dexter prequel, which also stars Patrick Dempsey, Christina Millian, and Sarah Michelle Gellar, debuts December 13th on Paramount+ and then premiers on Showtime two days later.
In 1968, the world found themselves unable to sleep after watching the terrifying film Rosemary’s Baby. Since then, millions more stayed awake for days after experiencing the movie.
On September 28th, we will need THC with melatonin to sleep because Apartment 7A, the prequel to Resemary’s Baby, will frighten us to our cores.
An ambitious young dancer Terry Gionoffrio (Julia Garner, Ozark) dreams of fame and fortune in New York City, but, after suffering a devastating injury, an older, wealthy couple (Dianne Wiest, I Care a Lot, and Kevin McNally, Pirates of the Caribbean film series) welcomes her into their home in the luxury apartment building the Bramford. When fellow resident and influential Broadway producer (Jim Sturgess, Across the Universe) offers her another chance at fame, it seems that all her dreams are finally coming true. However, after an evening she can’t fully remember, disturbing circumstances soon have her second-guessing the sacrifices she’s willing to make for her career as she realizes that something evil is living not only in Apartment 7A, but in the Bramford itself.
It is rare that a trailer scares me, but that is what this one did. Because of that, I can’t wait to stream it on Paramount+ next month. Are you going to check it out?
