Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Skip-it - This long-awaited live-action version of Alice has had people on the edge of their seat since the first poster of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter was released, and unfortunately, that's as interesting and cool as the rabbit hole ever gets. Alice in a 3-D wonderland was visually entertaining (though more gimmicky and not a part of the story like Avatar), but it's almost too Tim-Burtony, even by his standards. You'll love the tea party with Depp and the hare, and Helena Bonham Carter is the perfect Red Queen, but everything else disappoints.
A Charlie Brown Christmas
Rent-it (closer to Christmas time) - Another classic Christmas film that you could catch on all the major networks post-Thanksgiving, but is worth a look on Blu-ray this year.
