One holiday. One month. One woman. Thirty individual movies. Readers ready? Go!

Day Twenty-Five: December 20, 2009 - Love Actually

Starting in October, a very special period begins for the entertainment industry, and I'm not talking about awards season: Christmas movies bust out of their shiny tinsel packaging and take over the airwaves.

In Hellboy II: The Golden Army, a ruthless leader has emerged in the invisible realm. When this power-mad ruler defies his bloodline to assemble an unstoppable army of fantastical creatures that he will use to wage a supernatural war on humanity, it begins to appear that humankind's days are numbered. Also on DVD: This Christmas, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and The Perfect Holiday.

Queen Latifah is suing the production company behind her The Perfect Holiday film, claiming she is yet to be paid for her appearance.

Gabrielle Union, Morris Chestnut, Queen Latifah, and Terrence Howard star in a film concerning a young girl who implores a department store Santa (Chestnut) to find a new husband for her divorced mother (Union) for Christmas. Lance Rivera directs a film produced by Shakim Compere and Latifah through Flavor Unit Entertainment. Cast and Crew / More
