For some, it is a yearly tradition to go see a movie on Christmas. If that’s the case with you, or you simply want to see a new movie before the weekend, you are in luck with a slew of new movies due out on the 25th, in addition to the usual release day of Friday. There is a new adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, a drama set in World War I, a new horror film about an app that connects the dead with the living, the conclusion to the Ip Man series of films, an animated adventure about what happens when a spy is turned into a pigeon, and much more!
