It’s almost the holidays, and you’re probably looking for a good bunch of films to put on this Christmas that you can feel pretty non-committal about because you’ve seen them a thousand times, but it’s a tradition, so you gotta put them on! But, you might also be unable to remember just what those films are because of the food coma you put yourself in. Luckily for you, we’ve got a selection of some of the best Christmas movies you can pop on Disney+ while you’re laying on the sofa regretting how much stuffing you ate.If you’d like to watch any of these during the Christmas break (or before, or even after!) you can grab a Disney+ subscription from as little as $7.99/£4.99 per month. We all saw this one coming. I don’t think you’ll find a more perfect Christmas movie out there, honestly. It’s a classic Charles Dickens novel realised to its full potential, starring Michael Caine as the ever-miserable Ebeneezer Scrooge, acting alongside some of the industry’s best and brightest actors like Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and plenty more. Caine took his performance of Scrooge incredibly seriously, treating all of the Muppets as if they were real actors, lending a genuine emotional weight to the film that makes it such a treat to re-watch.

PUBG: Battlegrounds is getting a new map today. Named Rondo, it features the largest zone for combat in any map the game has ever seen, and is quite the big deal for those invested in the game. To help celebrate this release, the team at Krafton has released a live action film staring non other than Squid Game star Lee Jung-Jae. Named Ground of Honor: Rondo, the short film is directed by Sam Hargrave of Extraction and Extraction 2 fame. Everyone can watch the film right now on the official PUBG: Battlegrounds Youtube channel, and at roughly eight minutes long your boss will barely notice you’re putting off work to watch it. Though short, it is packed with action as you might expect. We’re talking firefights, close-quarters-combat, drama… Everything you could possibly want. No frying pan though – perhaps PUBG has matured beyond the joys of clanking dudes with a cast iron skillet. Read more

Iconic horror manga artist Junji Ito recently sat down with Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama, where they spoke about horror and the manga medium as a whole. Ito is a bit of a funny guy. He’s the man behind several critically acclaimed horror works like Tomie and Uzumaki, but he’s also someone that finds a goofy cat in a slice-of-life anime scary, so he’s certainly someone with multitudes. In a new interview featured on Bokeh Game Studio’s YouTube channel, he continues to live up to his slightly odd nature, telling studio co-founder Toyama that he’d “like to make a rom-com,” though did note that if he does, “it might end up becoming a horror story.” While that bit about making a rom-com is only a small snippet at the beginning of the interview, and not something he goes into that much, Toyama asked Ito about his plans for the future as a manga creator. “Honestly speaking, I usually end up being cornered,” Ito responded. “There’s a lot of things I need to draw. I don’t really have a long-term objective. I tend to remain conservative and keep writing short stories. I just take them one by one, hoping to draw something good… I’m willing to try new things, but I’ll do that once I get a better idea of what to do.” Maybe those “new things” will be a rom-com (I’ve honestly got my fingers crossed there.” Read more

Some people’s favourite so-bad-it’s-good 2023 release, Crime Boss: Rockay City, has just recieved a free Christmas update, giving you a reason to gift yourself a trip back to the land of half-baked 90s nostalgia this festive season. That’s right, following a Halloween update that slapped some pumpkins onto enemies’ heads and added a slasher to the mix, Crime Boss, a game we’ve definitely said some things about in the past, is back at it again. This time, yuletide fun is on the menu, even if it doesn’t look like Michael Madsen’s bothered to dress up as Santa.What Crime Boss’ update 6.0 does do is add snowman heads to enemy gangsters, which boast a bunch of different expressions in line with the range of complex emotions playing the game elicits. These are coupled with a nice festive makeover for the main menu that somehow manages to make an alleyway look pretty cosy. Read more

The first full trailer for Netflix’s next big live-action anime adaptation, Yu Yu Hakusho, has dropped, and it’s looking pretty good! No matter where you look at the minute, big budget, live-action takes on classic anime and manga series seem to be everywhere (like that recently confirmed Naruto movie). Netflix just so happens to be responsible for more than one of those series, having released the ridiculously popular One Piece series back in August, and now, ahead of its release next week, the streaming service has given us our first full trailer for Yu Yu Hakusho. We did get a teaser last month, but this is the first trailer to properly dive into all the plot shenanigans. You can check out the trailer above, but for those unfamiliar with the series, here’s a little run down for you. The series originally started as a manga from Yoshihiro Togashi, possibly better known as the creator of the equally acclaimed Hunter x Hunter, kicking things off right at the end of 1990. It follows teenage delinquent Yusuke Urameshi, having died after being hit by a car while trying to save a child’s life. He’s then tasked by the rule of the Underworld to take on the mantle of “Underworld Detective,” having to take on demons and ghosts alike in the Human world. Not quite Ghostbusters, but some ghost busting is involved in the series. Read more
