3 action movies on Hulu you need to watch in December 2024
Bruce Willis in Die Hard 2.

Sometimes, the Christmas season means Christmas action movies on Hulu. Especially if the streamer has Die Hard for the holidays, as it does this year. But since everyone talks about Die Hard as a Christmas film, we decided to go with Die Hard 2 -- which is also set at Christmas -- as one of the three action movies on Hulu that you need to watch in December.

Our other picks include the film that made Keanu Reeves an action star five years before The Matrix, as well as the movie that gave Russell Crowe his first -- and to date, only -- Oscar win for Best Actor.

The holiday season can be the perfect time to dive into a new show, but picking the right one for you can be trickier than it might seem. Netflix is filled with great shows worth watching, but the algorithm isn't always pushing the stuff you want to watch.

Thankfully, we've got you covered with three underrated shows that are definitely worth your time this month. From a long-running drama to a fizzy comedy, the shows on this list are guaranteed to give you a worthwhile distraction.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (December 13-15)
A man looks ahead in Unbreakable.

The countdown to Christmas is speeding up, and you might just be over the holiday. I know I am. How many times can one watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation or drink eggnog? The holiday season is getting to be a bit much.

If you need an escape from all the caroling and good cheer, then you've come to the right place. The following list contains absolutely no X-mas-themed fun whatsoever. Instead, these movies have dead mermaids, World War II espionage, awful Philadelphia weather, a nude Batman lying on some jagged rocks, and Bruce Willis in a rain slicker. That sounds like a good weekend's worth of entertainment to me.
