‘Same Time, Next Christmas’
New ABC movie gives Lea Michele a complicated Christmas
Christmas in Hawaii isn’t all glee for Lea Michele BY JAY BOBBIN
Since she has both a new album and a new TV movie that celebrate Christmas, Lea Michele surely is in a seasonal frame of mind. Filming in Hawaii held much allure for the “Glee” and “Scream Queens” alum as she made “Same Time, Next Christmas,” which ABC debuts Thursday, Dec. 5. Echoing the late Bernard Slade’s play “Same Time, Next Year,” the tale casts Michele as a woman who’s reunited with her childhood love (Charles Michael Davis) in the islands during a family vacation at the holidays. Their timing is still “off,” though, a problem that goes on to plague them even more despite their obvious sparks. Nia Vardalos (“My Big Fat Greek Wedding”) and George Newbern (“Scandal”) play the Michele character’s parents in the picture directed by Stephen Herek (“Mr. Holland’s Opus”).
Though she appeared in “New Year’s Eve” and the “Glee” concert movie, “Same Time, Next Christmas” marks Michele’s first starring movie role. “It’s such an awesome opportunity,” the pleasant performer says. “Initially, I was so romanced by the thought of doing a movie in Hawaii for a month, I didn’t really process the fact that it would be on my shoulders ... but I think we put together something enjoyable and wonderful. “Sort of the routine that I’ve had for the past couple of years,” Michele explains, “is that I’ll take a few months to a year to focus primarily on music, then the next year will be acting, then the year after that will be back to music. It’s always a bit of a process for me to get the muscles moving again, though every ‘Glee’ episode was like a movie in and of itself. So much was required, I really felt up to the task with this film. And it was wonderful to be acting again.”
Making “Same Time, Next Christmas” followed Michele’s recording of “Christmas in the City,” which also features vocals by her “Glee” colleague Darren Criss, her Broadway “Spring Awakening” co-star Jonathan Groff and Tony Award winner Cynthia Erivo (lately of the movie “Harriet”). Michele also co-wrote a new tune for the album, comprised otherwise of seasonal classics. “It’s going to be like a 10-month Christmas for me by the time we actually get to the holiday,” she muses, also factoring in several mid-December concerts she’ll stage in New York (plus her appearance on NBC’s “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” Wednesday, Dec. 4). Now married to clothing-company chief Zandy Reich, Michele reflects, “‘It’s always been my dream to make a holiday record, and to pair it with this great film and end the year with these concerts, it’s a wonderful time in my life and in my career. I feel really grateful.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Top 10 Movies BY JAY BOBBIN
“True Lies” (1994): Schwarzenegger simultaneously plays and spoofs the spy game in director James Cameron’s fun adventure that also gives a great role to Jamie Lee Curtis as the secret agent’s wife. “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” (1991): A sequel so good it deserves separate mention, James Cameron’s follow-up puts big twists on Schwarzenegger’s character – who turns protector – while offering an even more lethal Terminator (Robert Patrick). “Kindergarten Cop” (1990): This engaging comedy makes the tough detective played by Schwarzenegger an unlikely magnet for children as the character goes undercover as a substitute teacher. “Total Recall” (1990): The unique sci-fi stylings of director Paul Verhoeven work well for the complex story of this fantasy, with Schwarzenegger as a man on the run for his life – on Mars – after learning that someone else’s memories have been implanted in him. “Twins” (1988): Schwarzenegger proves hilarious, thanks in no small part to a premise that makes him and Danny DeVito the twins in question (well, of course!), in director Ivan Reitman’s comedy hit.
Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Terminator: Dark Fate”
MOVIE REVIEW
“The Running Man” (1987): A Stephen King story provides the basis for this prescient sci-fi tale, with Schwarzenegger as one of the contestants vying to survive a deadly game watched by millions. “Predator” (1987): Schwarzenegger certainly has the ideal brawn to play the leader of a military team that finds a lot more than was bargained for – namely, an extraterrestrial enemy – during a jungle mission. “Commando” (1985): Pity the fools who kidnap the daughter (Alyssa Milano) of a Special Forces veteran (Schwarzenegger) to force him to do their bidding. A bad idea? Oh, yeah. “The Terminator” (1984): Arguably Schwarzenegger’s signature part, the time-traveling robot – initially programmed to kill, and perfectly matched to the star’s minimalist acting style – would “be back,” indeed, in a number of sequels including the current one. “Conan the Barbarian” (1982): Schwarzenegger’s physique alone was enough to make him ideal for the title role in director and co-writer John Milius’ notably violent take on the iconic character.
BY JAY BOBBIN
Yes, he’s back: Schwarzenegger is a ‘Terminator’ once more If you’ve seen any “Terminator” movies past the first two, you may wonder why they even needed to exist, past being presumed cash cows at the box office – and even that hasn’t always been the case. You might greet “Terminator: Dark Fate” with the same skepticism, but the pleasant surprise is that it’s actually pretty good. That stems from it going back to the initial story threads and giving them some fresh twists while holding quite true to what filmmaker James Cameron set down the first time. Included in that is a reunion of stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton. Their characters have come a long way since that cyborg ventured back from the future to eliminate her son, who would grow up to lead a revolution. Though they still have that link, they’ve developed ... the former killing machine now fitting into society as almost an average Joe, and her, an expert warrior ready to blow away anyone who earns it.
“Terminator: Dark Fate” its biggest charge. The history of their work together in the franchise goes a long way toward giving their reconnection its impact, and it surely will help a viewer to know that background, though it’s not absolutely necessary. With Hamilton having been missing from preceding chapters, “Dark Fate” makes it a point to explain how her Sarah Connor fits into the saga, and it wisely does so in a way that won’t test Gabriel Luna evokes the patience of those who “Terminator 2: Judgment already know. It’s a help that Day” by playing a skilled genre veteran David biologically souped-up enemy, but “Terminator: Dark S. Goyer (well-known for his “Dark Knight” work) is one of Fate” largely goes back to the screenwriters here, with the original picture’s plot, with another futuristic traveler the aforementioned Cameron appropriately having had a (Mackenzie Davis) trying to hand in developing the story protect yet another future as well. mom of a revolt-againstthe-robots kingpin (Natalia So many sequels simply are Reyes). money grabs, it’s refreshing when one actually makes That it’s woman defending sense for existing. The woman can’t be purely “Terminator” pictures have coincidental in this day and fallen prey to the lower age, but as relevant as that end of that spectrum, but is, it’s really the enjoyment with “Dark Fate,” the series from the Schwarzeneggerhappily is back on track.

ARIES
It’s possible that you won’t be pleased with the holiday schedule at work. With a little patience and determination, you’ll be able to get some colleagues to help out.
TAURUS
Stress is the biggest challenge of the 21st century. You need a break, if only to see your professional future clearly. A more spiritual approach to life is almost necessary.
GEMINI
At this time of year, it’s not easy balancing your family life and your work. Time is scarce, but you’ll succeed in managing everything. You’ll also face some unexpected situations and challenges.
CANCER
You’ll have a chance to travel with family or friends. You’ll want to take a break from the routine and do something different for the holidays, maybe by serving exotic dishes instead of the usual meal.
LEO
You’ll attempt to hide your sensitivity. Your friends will be very supportive, so don’t be afraid to show your emotions if they’re weighing on you. All changes will be to our advantage.
VIRGO
You’ll certainly be in an excellent position to bring the different groups of people around you together. You’ll be inspired to make some radical changes at work. And the lover inside you will be most romantic.
LIBRA
You’ll get some excellent news about your health or that of someone close to you. You’ll benefit from some extra income you weren’t expecting and form a better worklife balance.
SCORPIO
You’ll find yourself getting a lot of attention. It’s not impossible that you’ll receive some sort of award in recognition of your achievements. You’ll certainly be very proud of yourself, which will boost your self-esteem.
SAGITTARIUS
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to watch what you eat and to limit your alcohol intake before the holiday season. You may already have some stomach troubles this week.
CAPRICORN
You’ll be on the move and the phone will be ringing off the hook. Your friends will demand you attend different events being planned. You may also find yourself playing taxi more than once.
AQUARIUS
You’ll have thousands of ideas for holiday activities and gifts. You’ll need to look at your budget to evaluate the feasibility of your ideas and avoid going broke. You’ll be very generous this week.
PISCES
You’ll be very spontaneous this week. As soon as an idea comes to you, it’ll be as if it’s already done. You’ll put your social life first in order to finish the year in style. You’ll also be involved in a charity event.

“SESAME STREET’S 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION!”
Five decades is a long time to
inspire, educate and entertain children, which has been the hugely notable achievement of this iconic series. A celebration surely is in order, and that’s offered in this program recently televised by HBO (which now shares the rights to the show with its originating network, PBS). Joseph GordonLevitt is the host of the event, which marks the occasion by restaging some of the most classic segments and songs in “Sesame Street” history (“People in Yoir Neighborhood” certainly among them). Additional participants include Whoopi Goldberg, Elvis Costello, Meghan Trainor and “This Is Us” Emmy winner Sterling K. Brown – with such veteran cast members as Bob McGrath, Loretta Long, Roscoe Orman and Linda Bove returning for the festivities. ››› (Not rated)

Boston-area natives Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have made movies about the crime culture related to that city, and they revisit it as executive producers of this Showtime drama series, which has been renewed for a second season. Developed by fellow executive producer Chuck MacLean from his and Affleck’s idea, the 1990s-set show tenuously teams an assistant district attorney newly relocated from Brooklyn (played by Aldis Hodge, formerly of “Leverage” and “Underground”) and a FBI veteran (Kevin Bacon) whose renown partially cloaks his corrupt ways. The two men pursue a family that robs armored cars, ultimately impacting the whole of criminal justice in Boston. “Law & Order” and “Crossing Jordan” alum Jill Hennessy also stars, with additional cast members including Cathy Moriarty (“Raging Bull”), Boston native Jonathan Tucker, Mark O’Brien, Sarah Shahi (“Person of Interest”), Amanda Clayton, Kevin Chapman (also born in Boston), Kevin Dunn and Rory Culkin. ››› (Not rated: AS, N, P, V)
