At 13 years old, he was enthralled. He went back the next night, sitting on the floor of the theatre by the side of the stage and decided, “That’s the coolest thing ever. I want to do what they’re doing.”Inspired, he began acting in school productions. At 18, he landed his first Hollywood role as Trevor in Bo Burnham’s 2018 film Eighth Grade.

Arts & Culture, Film & TV

Some people get in the mood for the holidays by decorating a tree, baking cookies, or venturing out to look at houses draped in thousands of string lights. Others just pop on a Christmas movie to get into the spirit. Whether you’re planning a mega holiday movie marathon, wanting to put on an old classic, or trying to mix up your family movie night with something different this year, there’s plenty to choose from. We’ve curated the very best Christmas movies you can stream or rent, from sentimental classics with a twist and cozy romantic comedies to emotional indie dramas and high-speed action thrillers.1.

Yes, we can all agree that Die Hard is the GOAT Christmas action movie, but don’t you dare sleep on The Long Kiss Goodnight. In Renny Harlin’s action thriller, Geena Davis’ Samantha is a wholesome small-town school teacher and mother who, eight years ago, woke up pregnant on a beach with no memory of who she was. In the present day, Samantha gets into a car accident that changes everything — she begins remembering things and discovers she has elite knife skills. Was she a chef, perhaps? That seems unlikely when a strange man who recognized her at a Christmas parade shows up at her house to attack her. She kills him with ease as if it’s her day job. Turns out, it sure as heck was.
