By the time you read this, I will probably already have made my 6:50 am appearance on Metro Morning for a very special conversation about Christmas movies — and hopefully I was somewhat coherent.

While you wait to catch up, check out my list of the best films of 2017, which is online and in the new print issue of NOW. And read my review of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle while you’re at it! It’s neither the best nor the worst film of the year, and that’s just fine.
