Whether your traveling for the holidays or need a break from the family, Max has plenty of streaming offerings this month.
In celebration of the new “The Color Purple” opening in theaters, Max is releasing the 1985 adaption starring Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Glover and Oprah Winfrey (in her feature film debut) on the first of the month. The film earned 11 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress for Goldberg and Best Supporting Actress for Winfrey and Margaret Avery.
With the latest adaptation opens on Christmas day, the Max Original documentary “Oprah and The Color Purple Journey” streams on Dec. 28, providing a behind-the-scenes look into the making of the upcoming feature film.
Speaking of Oprah, there will be an OWN holiday movie launching every Sunday to celebrate the season, including “A Christmas Serenade” (Dec. 3), “A Christmas of Yes” (Dec. 10), “The Christmas Detective” (Dec. 17) and “Christmas Revisited” (Dec. 24).
As the year winds down, so will the following series: “Bookie” (Dec. 21), “Julia” (Dec. 21), “Rap Sh!t” (Dec. 21), “The Gilded Age” (Dec. 17) and “30 Coins” (Dec. 11). The latter follows a remote town in Spain plagued by inexplicable, demonic events.
And speaking of demons, the first five “Paranormal Activity” will be available on service at the beginning of the month for all of you who prefer slaying to sleighing.
