And we have reached the last week of November. Less than a month until Christmas, and the first signs of imminent holidays can also be seen among the new Prime Video releases. Certainly not for the gruesome film Criminal Education – She Rides Shotgun, nor for the ending of Maxton Hall 2, but certainly for the Christmas comedy Christmas Without Santa. And since the approach of the holidays generates nostalgia, we thought we’d select for you from the expiring titles of films from a few years ago, among which we highlight Robocop (sequels and remakes are also available if desired), When Harry Met Sally and a little-known film with Bud Spencer set in the early sixteenth century. The choice is yours and have a good week!
Criminal Education – She Rides Shotgun (Original USA film, action thriller genre) – comes out November 26th
After spending years in prison, Nate (Taron Egerton) has made dangerous enemies, including the powerful criminal gang he worked for inside the prison. Eager to start over, Nate cuts ties with his old comrades once released from prison, but they react by threatening his family. Soon he is forced to flee with his daughter Polly, a shy eleven-year-old girl who Nate barely knows. As the two try to avoid detection, it becomes clear that their enemies will give up on nothing. Nate will then have to teach Polly how to survive and will witness her transformation from a shy girl to a force to be reckoned with. And, in turn, as the bond with her daughter grows ever closer, she will learn what it means to love someone unconditionally.
Christmas Without Santa (Original Italian film, genre: comedy) – on Prime Video from 28 November
Christmas Without Santa is the new Christmas comedy starring Luisa Ranieri and Alessandro Gassmann. When Santa Claus (Alessandro Gassmann), in the midst of an existential crisis, decides to take a holiday and suddenly disappears, his wife Margaret (Luisa Ranieri) – always ready to support (and tolerate) her husband Nicola – has nothing left to do but roll up their sleeves and save the most special day of the year. It won’t be an easy task, because the enterprising witch Sabrina (Caterina Murino), better known as the Befana, and Santa Lucia (Valentina Romani) are determined to steal the show from Santa Claus by becoming the protagonists of the holidays.
