"Violent Night" is a cyanide-laced sugarplum, a holiday action movie starring David Harbour as Santa that will delight viewers who can get on its wavelength.

An earnestness to the story and the father/son relationship allows "Strange World" resonate far more than the typical animated offering of this type.

"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" serves as both a worthy sequel to the first film as well as an homage to the star of that film – the late Chadwick Boseman.
