Krampus – After a dysfunctional family (like most families) clashes together during a family Christmas celebration and ruins the Christmas spirit for young Max; Krampus, the anti-Santa Claus complete with horns and hooves, arrives to punish those who don’t believe in Christmas and in Santa. Krampus uses himself and other holiday icons to attack the family and the family must fight together to be able to survive. The Krampus looks like it wasn’t screened for critics at all (or at least until last-minute) which is never a good sign. Plus it’s described as a horror comedy but almost every trailer shows never shows any of the comedy. Stars Adam Scott, Toni Collette, David Koechner, Allison Tolman, Conchata Ferrell, Emjay Anthony, Stefania LaVie Owen, Krista Stadler, and Gavin Norton. Rated PG-13.

Cartoon/Anime
Space Brothers: Collection 8 – FINALLY the last Space Brothers collection with the end of the sub from Sentai Filmworks with episodes 88 – 99. Apparently even though this has continued over 8 volumes, this still isn’t the end of the series and the manga continues on past where the anime ends since it’s still in serialization. Not Rated.
Rage of Bahamut: Genesis -The Complete Series – Rage of the Bahamut: Genesis is based off of the card battle mobile phone game Rage of the Bahamut (which bad timing but seems to have had it’s Engligh version shut down in February 2016) but seems to expound on the story quite a bit. The bounty hunter Favaro Leone accidentally makes a contract with a demoness on the run from heaven which gives him a tail of his own, they have to fight together to have her return to hell, though she has the goal of awakening the monster Bahamut. Rage of the Bahamut: Genesis has a fun cast with Ian Sinclair and Chris Rager as the main leads. We haven’t finished this series yet but we’ve liked what we’ve watched so far. Not Rated.
Kamisama Kiss: Season 2 – The second season of Kamisama Kiss and one of Funimation’s first Broadcast Dubs. Nanami continues to try to do her work as a human Land God, but someone from Tomoe’s past is up to no good. Along with trouble on Kurama’s mountain, this new enemy will even force Nanami to the underworld. This was a great addition to Kamisama Kiss and we really enjoyed it. Definitely worth taking a look at if you liked the first season or Fruits Basket. Not Rated.
