This mission will require everything from the pilots selected, potentially demanding the ultimate sacrifice.

‘Dear Santa’ (2024)

A little boy who has trouble with reading and spelling mistakenly sends his Christmas wish list to Satan instead of Santa, and surprisingly, the devil actually shows up! Played by Jack Black, the devil offers to grant the boy three wishes, but there’s a dark twist – his soul is the price.

‘The Naked Gun’ (2025)

I’m so excited to see Liam Neeson take on the role of Frank Drebin Jr.! It’s a reboot of the hilarious Police Squad series, and he’s tasked with saving the world, just like his famous father. From what I’ve heard, it’s packed with the same slapstick comedy, crazy visual gags, and dry wit that made the original so special. He’s trying to solve a big conspiracy, but of course, he leaves a trail of accidental chaos everywhere he goes – it sounds absolutely perfect!

‘Man with No Past’ (2025)

A man finds himself in a strange city, completely unable to remember who he is or how he got there. He soon learns he’s a skilled fighter and someone dangerous is after him. Starring Jon Voight and Adam Woodward, this action thriller follows his journey to uncover a hidden conspiracy linked to his forgotten past. As he fights for answers, he discovers the truth about why his memory was wiped and who is trying to stop him.

‘Step Brothers’ (2008)

When two forty-something men, Brennan and Dale, discover their single parents are getting married, they unexpectedly become roommates. At first, they can’t stand each other, leading to silly arguments and destructive behavior that disrupts the whole family. Their constant fighting puts everyone on edge, but eventually, they realize they have a lot in common – namely, they’re both acting like kids. The movie follows their funny path toward growing up a little and learning to respect each other.

‘Fatman’ (2020)

Santa Claus, known as Chris Cringle, is facing tough times as fewer people believe in the magic of the holidays. To save Christmas, he reluctantly teams up with the U.S. military, all while dealing with a troublesome, wealthy child who goes to extreme lengths – hiring a hitman – to try and eliminate him. Mel Gibson powerfully portrays a Santa who’s lost his cheer, battling the cynicism and violence of the modern world. The film builds to a thrilling showdown between Santa and the assassin sent to kill him.

‘American Made’ (2017)

This movie is based on the real life of Barry Seal, a pilot for TWA who was asked by the CIA to spy on communist activity in Central America.

The film shows how Barry balanced his dangerous life as a drug smuggler with his work as a government informant, all while trying to stay out of jail. It’s a story about the crazy and risky situations he found himself in during the 1980s.
