Understanding Snake Fun?: The Cinema Highlights of the Week - Understanding Snake Fun?: The Cinema Highlights of the Week
Three major films will hit cinemas on December 25, offering something for every taste. A Danish crime-comedy, a new SpongeBob adventure, and a fresh take on a 1990s horror classic are all set to premiere. Each brings its own twist to the holiday movie lineup.
'Viking Therapy', a Danish crime-comedy starring Mads Mikkelsen, has already earned praise after its premiere at the Venice Film Festival. The film blends humour with Nordic grit, marking another standout role for the acclaimed actor.
For younger audiences, 'The SpongeBob Movie: Ahoy, Pirates!' delivers the next big-screen adventure for the beloved yellow sponge. This time, SpongeBob finally meets the height requirement to ride roller coasters—but the real excitement begins when he stumbles upon a magical portal to the underworld. A cursed buccaneer soon turns the trip into a chaotic quest. Meanwhile, the 2025 'Anaconda' remake takes a playful approach to the 1997 creature-horror classic. Directed by Tom Gormican, the film follows lifelong friends Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd) as they attempt to shoot their own amateur remake of the original. The story directly ties into the events of the 1997 movie, offering a tongue-in-cheek reimagining packed with nods to the first film.
All three films arrive in theatres on December 25, catering to different audiences. 'Viking Therapy' brings festival-acclaimed comedy, while 'SpongeBob' offers family-friendly fun. The 'Anaconda' remake, meanwhile, promises a mix of horror, humour, and nostalgia for fans of the original.
