Christmas may be over but why not treat yourself to this wonderfully festive Finnish film, in which the original terrifying Father Christmas is released from his icy tomb to spread fear and misery as he punishes wrong doers.

This fast and fun action-comedy stars Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren as a bunch of gun-toting former CIA operatives forced to join together when their old employers try to erase them. Having proved extremely popular with audiences around the world the film has earned itself a nomination as one of the best comedies of the year at the Golden Globes and should make for something rather special.
The seventh and arguably best outing of the Potter franchise moves the action outside of Hogwarts for the first part of the series’ stunning conclusion.
