The new movie is a little bit "Guardians of the Galaxy:' a little bit "Dirty Dozen" in Its mass wartime slaughter and a pretty good time once it gets going. "Rogue One" takes its name from the U-shaped spaceship whisking Alliance fighters to the tropical planet Scarif for the big showdown against Empire forces. The movie's pretty violent.

"Moana" *** HeLIDM PG, 1:53, animated Featuring songs by "Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, the CCUI{W$ new animated musical adventure "Moana" is bright, busy, enjoy- able and progressive. Moana, voiced by Hawaiian actress AuIi'i Cravaiho, is the daughter of a Pacific Islands chieftain. She must get in touch with her seafaring ancestry and leave her island, Motunui, on a long journey. After a brush with death, she washes ashore on a small island where she meets the Polynesian demi- god Maui, voiced by Dwayne Johnson. The score's signature power ballad, "How Far I'll Go:' may well take its rightful place alongside "Frozen's" big hit, "Let lt Go:' in the female-em- powerment earworm department. - MP

"Office Christmas Party" ** 1/2 R, 1:45, comedy When it comes to big, brassy studio comedies, a filmmaker can do worse than to gather the brightest, funniest stars, situate them in an odd, yet relatable situation and let 'em rip. That's exactly what directors Josh Gordon and Will Speck do with 'Office Christmas Party:' the delightfully debauched holiday desecration we need this year. The greatest strength of "Office Christmas Party" is its casting. If you've got fabulous weirdos Kate Mckinnon and T.J. Miller In lead roles, there are bound to be more than enough laughs. Holiday Cookes: Prize-winning Family "Office Christmas Party" delights in a grotesque carnival of the worst behavior and still has its heart firmly in the right place. - Katie Walsh Recipes from the Chicago Tribune contains more than 100 recipes and mouthwatering photos of winning cookies from nearly "Collateral Beauty" * PG-13, 1:37, drama three decades of the newspaper's annual "Collateral Beauty" should win some kind of award for Best Holiday Cookie Contest.
