Is it “an undigested bit of beef” – a line in the original story – that leads Scrooge to have bad dreams or is he really being visited by ghosts intent on helping him redeem himself.

Belfast (PG-13) Life in Northern Ireland, circa 1969, is presented through the eyes of a nine-year-old boy in a working class family composed of three generations. Deep ties to his neighborhood are strained when turbulent incidents arise, causing his father to question whether the family should remain in the country. This is actor/director Kenneth Branagh’s most personal film, more than slightly autobiographical, splendidly mixing drama, humor and music (by Van Morrison) with the horrors of regional conflict. The fine cast includes Jamie Dornan, Judi Dench, Ciaran Hinds, with special nods to Caitriona Balfe and Jude Hill (as young Buddy).
House of Gucci (R) When Patrizia Reggiani, an outsider from humble beginnings, marries into the Gucci family, her unbridled ambition begins to unravel their legacy and triggers a reckless spiral of betrayal, decadence, revenge, and ultimately…murder.
