Quentin Tarantino’s latest film Django Unchained opens in theaters today! Set in the Deep South two years before the Civil War, the movie follows bounty hunter Dr. King Shultz (Christoph Waltz) and freed slave Django (Jamie Foxx) on a journey to free Django’s wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) from evil slave-owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). Nominated for five Golden Globes, including Best Picture and two Best Supporting actor nods for DiCaprio and Christoph Waltz, this film boasts stellar performances that you’re sure to remember. “Everyone came from an intense characterization,” Tarantino told reporters at the New York premiere. “None of us are going to forget the making of this movie, and it really kind of rocked our world a little bit. And we captured that on film.” Django Unchained opens today nationwide. Click here to find where it’s playing near you.

Les Miserables: Amanda Seyfriend on Being Cast as Cosette

After months of anticipation, Les Miserables is finally in theaters today! The Broadway-to-film adaptation stars Anne Hathaway as Fantine, Hugh Jackman as Jaen Valjean, Eddie Redmayne as Marius, and InStyle cover girl Amanda Seyfried as Cosette, all tragic characters trying to navigate their way through pitiful existences during the French Revolution. “The moment I auditioned for [director Tom Hooper], everything changed,” Seyfried told InStyle. “He gunned for me. What’s most important to him is an actor who can get it and who can be grounded enough to make it believable when she bursts into song.” And she is! The few clips that came out a couple weeks ago reveal in more detail that all the songs are sung live, not recorded post-filming, which is one of the movie’s biggest selling points. It should be an entertaining time at the movies this Christmas Day! Click here to see where the film is playing near you.
