And it also means trying to squeeze in as many cinema visits as possible over just a couple of months.
Except that 2016 might be slightly different. Some of the titles tipped as contenders…
It’s tradition. Turkey, pudding – and a look back at the best films of the year. And who am I to do otherwise?
For my top five this year, I’ve set two rules. I’m only choosing from films that have been released in UK cinemas during 2015 (so, for instance, the ones I saw at the London Film Festival but which haven’t been given a general distribution aren’t in contention) and I’m only…
ALVIIIIIIN!! returns in Alvin and The Chipmunks – The Road Chip releasing across cinemas in the UK and Ireland on 12 February 2016. Fans of the celebrity chipmunks will rejoice. The film seems as hilarious as promising as the previous ones judging from the trailers.

Mums and dads – and, more than likely, grandparents as well – will have fond memories of Peanuts, the Charles M Schultz cartoon about Charlie Brown, his friends and, of course, the one and only Snoopy. A daily strip in a national newspaper which also became a series of books and then moved to TV, it’s now arrived on the big screen for the first time in the shape of Snoopy And Charlie Brown…
When Disney confirmed my seat at the press screening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I jumped for joy. I was 7 when the first Star Wars film came out in 1977 so I can say that the Star Wars saga has accompanied me throughout the best years of my life. It is an emotional return for many.
