Your 5 best bets for movies in the week ahead
December 18, 2015 - 8:53 am
SOMETHING NEW
When they're called home to clean out their childhood bedroom, two siblings (Tina Fey, Amy Poehler) throw a raucous party for their classmates in "Sisters."
DATE NIGHT
As part of the final Monday Date Skate before Christmas, see "A Christmas Story" at 6 p.m. followed by "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" at 9 p.m. at the skating rink at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The screenings are free.
FAMILY FUN
A young girl (Natalie Wood) learns to believe in Santa Claus in "Miracle on 34th Street." See it again on the big screen at 2 and 7 p.m. Sunday and Wednesday at Colonnade, The Orleans, Sam's Town, Santa Fe, South Point and Village Square.
FOR FRIENDS
Childhood friends (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Anthony Mackie) set out to make what may be their final Christmas Eve reunion their best yet in the raunchy, drug-fueled comedy "The Night Before."
SOLO TRIP
You'll probably end up watching "Room" — about a young woman (Brie Larson) held captive with her 5-year-old son (Jacob Tremblay) — by yourself anyway. Because, even though it's a remarkable movie, good luck finding someone else who wants to see it.
