Silent Night, Deadly Night gets the remake treatment with this Anchor Bay release starring Jaime King as a young deputy who's on the hunt for a killer dressed as Santa Claus. With the help of her quirky sheriff (Malcolm McDowell) and her father (John B. Lowe), a retired cop-turned-Santa portrayer, the fresh-faced officer stalks the streets of her small Midwestern town as its citizens prepare for the annual Christmas Eve parade -- unaware that a maniac is on the hunt for naughty festivalgoers. Steven C. Miller directs from a script by Jayson Rothwell. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi
Director Joe Carnahan resurrects the popular 1980s-era action series with this explosive reboot following the adventures of four Iraq War veterans who begin a second career as mercenaries for hire. Col. John "Hannibal" Smith (Liam Neeson), Templeton "Face" Peck (Bradley Cooper), B.A. Baracus (Quinton "Rampage" Jackson), and H.M. "Howlin' Mad" Murdock (Sharlto Copley) are a group of former Special Forces operatives who have been fighting the good fight for eight years when they're sentenced to military prison for a crime they didn't commit. Breaking out with relative ease, they embark on a treacherous quest to clear their names while being hunted across the globe by Charissa Sosa (Jessica Biel), a high-ranking military officer and one of Face's many former lovers. Meanwhile, mysterious CIA operative Lynch (Patrick Wilson) offers tips that help point the federal fugitives in the right direction, which seems to lead straight to former military contractor Pike (Brian Bloom), who may have been responsible for setting them up in the first place. Just when it seems that the A-Team has all the evidence needed to prove their innocence, however, they discover that their latest mission is just getting started. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Night security guard Bob finds himself inexorably losing control of his life. His job is so boring that he entertains himself on duty by memorizing encyclopedias; he is only up to the letter B. At home, his wife withholds conjugal affection and his stepdaughter loathes him. Things only get worse when his boss fires him. Bob goes home for comfort and finds his wife in bed with another. Something inside him snaps. He gets into his car and drives toward the pier at Blackpool where he resolutely plans to leap to his death. He does not suspect that there he will find salvation and renewal in the form of Angela, a young student of psychology. Much of this black British comedy centers on the two days Bob spends with the remarkable young woman who while helping him, also uses him to test the latest theories (some of which involve creative fantasizing) in her field. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
