Death impersonates the discworld's equivalent of Santa and his granddaughter (an excellent Michelle Dockery) invades the toothfairy's castle. There are also assassins, wizards and a god of hangovers.

- DirectorNancy MeyersStarsKate WinsletCameron DiazJude LawTwo women troubled with guy-problems swap homes in each other's countries, where they each meet a local guy and fall in love.Very romantic, somewhat sappy.

- DirectorPatrick HasburghStarsPaul GrossPeter BergFinola HughesAn autoworker and his buddy exit Detroit, move to Colorado, and become popular ski instructors.This is by no means a good movie. The plot is all over the place and the characters are, well, mostly idiots. But the 90s vibe is strong in this one and it is really snowy.
- DirectorRon HowardStarsVal KilmerJoanne WhalleyWarwick DavisA young farmer is chosen to undertake a perilous journey in order to protect a special baby from an evil queen.A buddy-Adventure-sword-fighting-romance-fantasy film with dwarves, baby abductions, prophecies, an evil witch and sort of dated effects. What's not to love?
