Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This is one of those family Christmas movies that wants to make history, like, fun for kids. If the kids have any sense they'll stay at home with their Xboxes.
Ben Stiller plays a nightwatchman at a New York history museum where the exhibits come alive, which is more than can be said of an ancient supporting cast that includes Mickey Rooney and Dick Van Dyke; for the younger generation Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan battle it out as a Wild West cowboy and a Roman general, while Ricky Gervais contributes a deeply unfunny cameo as the museum director.
The digimation is meant to recreate the wonders of the past, but when the script offers so little in the way of freshness or fun it all looks a dreadful waste of time and money.
Released 26 December
