"Where the Wild Things Are" is a treat for all ages.

"Nothing Like the Holidays": This is a touch-your-heart warm, make-you-ache funny and cause-you-to-think smart movie about a family's annual reunion for Christmas. While this happens to be a Hispanic family, the themes of this sweet comedy will connect with anyone who has spent even a second with family at a holiday.

Television
NFL RedZone 10 p.m.: Warning! If you watch this condensed version of the NFL games you may never watch football any other way. The cable channel offers constant updates of all of the games being played by switching for all the big plays. And there are no commercial interruptions. This channel is a blessing for anyone who is not a San Francisco 49ers or Oakland Raiders fan since those games are the ones shown locally by the Fox and CBS affiliates. This is the best creation for watching professional football since the invention of the remote control.
