Pulse Movies: Movies to Enjoy This Christmas Holiday


Latest News | 2020-11-27

2020 has had a bite on every form of entertainment, one would say, entertainment was the most affected sector of life by the COVID-19 pandemic. But we shall overcome!

You must probably be imagining what Christmas and that merry making season will be like without the usual merry making you’ve always had. Some relatives may, and rightly so, just stay with their families and enjoy in isolation. Coming together may stay a myth for some time until normalcy prevails.

At MTN Pulse however, we believe wherever you’ll be for the festive season, you should have some fun. That’s why, we’ve gathered some latest Hollywood releases that you can put on your bucket list and enjoy.

Dance Dreams: Hot Chocolate Nutcracker (Netflix, Release Date: November 27)

If you’re into Dance, you must probably know that the Debbie Allen Dance Academy have performed their world-famous Hot Chocolate Nutcracker, inspired by the original 1892 ballet, choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov with a score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky every year for a decade now.

“In the Netflix documentary, you’ll see the blood, sweat and tears that goes into making the magic happen.” Film Critic Allen Cohen says.

Black Beauty (On Disney+, Release date: November 27)

This is a Producer’s (Ashley Avis) take on on the 1877  Anna Sewell book – Black Beauty.

The film casts famous actress Kate Winslet as the voice of the titular horse. Critics believe she’ll actually be a relief for people that found it extremely traumatizing. There’s also a package for Feminism and Women Emancipation.

“Black Beauty is a scary book, full of trauma and despair, but this sixth film adaptation offers up a charming twist: both the horse protagonist and her young owner, played by Mackenzie Foy, are women!”

Lover’s Rock (On Amazon Prime Video, Release date: November 27)

Like we noted in the beginning, it is 2020 and parties are already a distant memory for us at this point, save for those that been flouting regulations.

Steve McQueen’s second installment in his Small Axe Anthology might be the closest you’ll get to that feeling.

“Running at just over 70 minutes, it’s an ode to Black joy and celebration, and one you won’t soon forget.” IMDb reported.

Superintelligence  (On HBO Max, Release date: November 26)

Superintelligence is directed by Ben Falcone, and it is Actress Melissa McCathy’s fourth record collaboration with her husband.

She plays Carol Peters, a former executive (now unemployed) who is contacted by the first ever super-intelligence (an AI trying to assess whether Earth deserves to be saved.)

James Corden, Bobby Cannavale and Brian Tyree Henry. With the way 2020 has been, we deserve this laugh people.

Uncle Frank (On Amazon Prime Video, Release date: November 25)
