Play from 0:00[0:00]" Yahoo! movies executive producer Sean Phillips we've got a number of new movies coming up for the holidays what you think the must see movie to see with the family will be this holiday season."

Play from 0:10[0:10]" Well you know there there are very few must see movies I think you of course some big movie stand being that is what I do but. If the Bruins have already come out especially one best for the family. You we started early this week we sort of consider the holiday season of starting an early November and and the second -- mask. Madagascar movie came out Madagascar to. No the first complete success and has via the line in the -- the draft and the hippopotamus scores -- voiced by the likes of and Chris Rock and a David Schwimmer and Ben Stiller Jada Pinkett Smith. -- have more -- in and you know -- African land and they're trying to -- home -- of finding their heritage and it's -- the box office really -- another and another -- another animated -- called bolt from the -- isn't about a -- it is super heroes star on the TV show and although he -- still thinks he has -- he does not into Independent -- some some friends -- have to get back to -- certain. Also -- adventures -- You and totally is it's it's really -- John Travolta is one of the main courses he's you divorce section of the dog and Miley Cyrus actually played the the role of one of the friends that the little dog meets certain issues and human little girl but for probably all the folks up there where they're young -- in between I think everyone knows who Miley Cyrus is these days."

Play from 1:41[1:41]" Exactly would not tell the tale of desperate I think I'm saying that right."

Play from 1:45[1:45]" I think you -- the great send and it should look like. It will be I think a really great -- haven't had a chance to see that when yet. But two everything I've seen so far from the trailers and any other kinds of materials looks super cute you know -- about a little adventurous mouse who -- the swashbuckling kind amounts with the oversized Beers really adorable but you know another one where. Little guy gets into a lot of adventures and that looks like a lot of fun for the family to."

Play from 2:14[2:14]" There's one out there I want to see up for Christmas is --"

Play from 2:17[2:17]" We know that -- been very very popular since Thanksgiving though the big Thanksgiving opener and you know that's that Vince Vaughn. Scott Reese Witherspoon. You know there a couple of actually of America's darlings when it comes to two movie stars and it's great to have been together I think they're really good. Comedic chemistry. And you know about the story and this is -- for Christmas is because ultimately you know they've they've tried to in the past escape. You know -- family Christmas by going on trips but over their flight is canceled and -- Not -- before because you know sort of unfortunately the -- display -- the -- these these unusual coupling to have the of the new families and you know all sorts of fun -- Hectic family stuff happens."

Play from 3:06[3:06]" What about Marley and me that's coming out on Christmas Day right."

Play from 3:09[3:09]" I think it is and a money means so that's got to Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson and in and it's based on a very very popular novel and -- so it's. About a couple lives don't wind up kind of adopting the Golden Retriever. And you know it's it's. Just by chance and you know they didn't really want to -- the puppy grows in the you know there's a lot of attachment -- really good at your dog lover and a dog person. This seems very much spewing you again that -- the -- with the best -- and that's a lot of people who -- a lot of people -- the story -- very -- stories a lot of people."

Play from 3:44[3:44]" What would you say your pleasant surprise is in big disappointments are as far as movies for the holiday season."

Play from 3:51[3:51]" the bad news -- you know pretty much have only got one title that I've sort of new cola picked on and and so Australia. And Australia was was envisioned as a as a very. There's a big budget. Epic kind of like gone with the wind you know seven years later kind of thing but only certain Australia. And -- and Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. As the big stars and it just. You know it just didn't. Didn't seem to connect with audiences you know -- it didn't make a lot of money that they is much it and that's in contrast to how much they spent -- 130 to 150 million dollar spent on the news do you expect. And great feedback in -- in great results. Unfortunately it just didn't work even though it looks like. As well shock you know from you know from a cinematography standpoint. And you know he got the big stars seemed like a lot of ingredients -- but it. For most -- it just didn't work now if you look pleasant surprises on the a more positive tip. I must say we talked about -- Palin -- grow it and that's going to be. Kind of a hidden gem amongst all the movies coming out in the upcoming weeks. And then there's another actual family movie called bedtime stories. I'm pretty excited about I've always been an Adam Sandler fan -- the you know he's -- depicting the the big kid in an adult body kind of role and that isn't yet another chance for him to do so and this is the detail where. You know what we determined bedtime stories. Although. All -- you'd just the Monday pills that you get to make up your mind suddenly they come to life. And so you know they have again it's this is a great adventure and you know it's going to be and we could come get in for four adults and for kids so it's one of those you know. Perfect to take the family do."

Play from 5:45[5:45]" You think any of these new -- movies have any Oscar potential."

Play from 5:49[5:49]" In northern rather and it in the two different batch then and then a lot of movies with actually just been document apart from the animated movies a lot of -- good when you talked about. Will will survive or don't like. Best song and and certainly best animated movie but it you the other movies that I've actually recently seen that one to look out for the them have just come out. Our movies like the wrestler. Which is -- Miki brooks stars and and I know that we've got -- still a lot of wrestling fans across the land in this the really really. Introspective. Is a powerful story about a man whose -- who's -- very much locked into this to this one. Person rap persona in his life and it's very it's it's a really powerful story of the great great performance by Mickey -- of course we may remember him from a long time ago he had in -- blazing career back in the mid eighties and they sort of disappeared sort of made some bad career choices but he's he's back to being very very well respected. A couple of other movies that start. So moved. -- all time. Kind of favored -- list actors of of the Sierra include the curious case of Benjamin button and that's stars Brad Pitt and -- And that is you really unique it's actually it's based on the novel and that it is that the story of actually a man who's born. Old I'd like 85 years old and then as he take you get older you -- getting younger so it's it's really interesting to watch it's sit down in New Orleans and took it really you know visually interesting place to -- so it's. Great performance Brad Pitt. Really -- by Cate Blanchett in the -- is she due -- bad performance. And it's the in the going to look at might be a revolutionary road and that has Turkey will include. Another academy favorite and Leonardo DiCaprio and of course we first saw them together in one in Titanic. -- And that was a big hit obviously -- biggest in the world still and so everyone's been highly anticipating this movie as well."

Play from 7:56[7:56]" All right thank you very much she Yahoo! move is executive producer Sean Phillips thank you so much."
