New Jack City: Missing in Action No Longer

Some OF YOU may wonder IF I’ve given up on the movies…

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Let’s just say that a temporary, severe health issue placed an unfortunate fork in my writing and reviewing road, preventing me from attending advance screenings.

The good news: I’m on the mend and am inching back into the movie spiel.

In the meantime—thanks to earlier previews and studio-provided screeners—here are my nine best bets at the box office during this December’s holiday season.

Not based on ticket sales, mind you, but on what I believe will provide you the most fun nights at the movies.

1.- The biographical, comedic-drama “VICE” starring Christian Bale as VP Dick Chaney and Amy Adams as Lynn Chaney.


2.- Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali in the multi-nominated “GREEN BOOK.”


3.- 88 year old Clint Eastwood. Still producing. Still directing. Still starring as “THE MULE.”


4.- Emily Blunt in Disney’s musical fantasy “MARY POPPINS RETURNS”—the sequel some 54 years in the making.


5.- “HOLMES & WATSON” with those ‘Step Brothers’ Will Ferrell and John C. Riley taking on the fractured legend of Sherlock Holmes.


6.- DC’s Cinematic Universe superhero spinoff “AQUAMAN” with Jason Mohoa doing the wet honors.


7.- The early 18th century period piece “THE FAVOURITE” with Rachel WeiszEmma Stone and Olivia Colman.England never had it that good.And from among the ‘long runs’……


8.- Bradley Cooper/Lady Gaga’s smash it “A STAR IS BORN.”


9.- Rami Malek’s amazing portrayal of Freddie Mercury in “BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY.”Happy holidays from popcorn-friendly ‘Jack Goes to the Movies.’
