returns are historically december 26th and 27th, plus the days and weeks ahead are the most wonderful time of the year to stock up on heavily discounted holiday decor, bedding, winter wear and exercise equipment. finally, turn those unwanted gift cards into cash with apps like gift card granny and cardpool. we all know it is the thought that counts but one of the greatest gifts of all, if you do want to take things back, is the fact that everything goes on sale, with those returns you can double down, guys. you can extend the life of the gift, of course, none of you will be making any returns. >> never. >> suck it up and act i like it. we love it all. we're grateful. that's right. rebecca, thank you very much. coming up, your guide to the hottest holiday movies this season. speaking of holiday movie, our favorites, deck the hallmark guys are here.

sleepwalking, or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. the most common side effect is nausea. for me chantix worked.boom. end of story. talk to your doctor about chantix. uh uh - i deliverberty the news around here. ♪ sources say liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. over to you, logo. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ s aktoork that's a great question. if you'd stop in a monsoon to help someone change a tire,

or an allergic reaction. d fficulty tiredness, breathing or swallowing.g. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. other side effects are sudden kidney problems, genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. so-what do you think? well i'm definitely thinking differently than i was yesterday. ask your doctor about jardiance- and get to the heart of what matters. cat's inner voice: these new litter boxes are so weird. cat's inner voice: disable the security cameras. i'm at the vault. we'll never totally figure them out, but we do know what makes them happy. meow mix. 40 years, and still the only one cats ask for by name.

>> multiple golden globe nominations already getting a lot of oscar buzz. it is led by kiki james and first movie ever for kiki. and the first time his writings have become a major motion picture. >> are you ready for >> i'veenea more fonythinn my whole life. >> reporter: academy award winning director barry jenkins' latest project. >> come on over here, daughter. >> you're a good girl. lk" d ta brings james baldwin's novel about a young couple in love to the big screen. baldwin's writings have become a major motion picture. you didn't have the rights when you first started with the script, correct? >> sent them the script in the mail and a typewritten letter came back in the mail and over the course of 3 1/2, 4 years it was a process of getting to know the estate and them getting to

se m b legacy is like a family affair and i had to become part of the family. >> he's about to pay for something he didn't do. >> reporter: led by stefan james who plays fonny in prison for a crime he didn't commit and kiki who works to free him before his baby is born. >> i got to hold the baby in my arms. >> we'll find a way. >> your chemistry is what a lot have talked about. you can't fake this but i have to ask, because i mean, in those down times in between scenes did you ever just like whisper her, kiki, do you love me -- >> it wasn't out yet. utt i might have. >> no, it wasn't out yet. >> oh, man. >> i'm sure i b wod hine youavr ear had you have h that moment. >> i feel like that's how we would have got into it >> yeah, i would say it to her every day. >> you can still do it. >> reporter: it's lane's first

about as statistics as men being wrongfully incarcerated about you this film forces to you see their humanity and to see that these are people that love nd a have families and our love. >> if you trusted love this far, don't panic now. >> and it was beautiful to hear the whole cast talk about love. so sweet to see kiki humble and so excited to be part of a major project but they're all excited. >> first movie ever. >> so talented. a great film. >> great chemistry. kind of like right here. >> ah, thank you, adrienne. >> merry christmas. >> and "if beale street could talk," it is in select theaters right now and it opens nationwide in januar lara. >> thank you, michael.
