Boxing legend Mike Tyson will make a special appearance, as he and the others join Mariah to show Rudy the true meaning of Christmas.

“Music is wildly popular on YouTube and we're excited to bring together some of the biggest names in music alongside some of the biggest stars on YouTube. The musical icons and rising artists in ‘The Keys of Christmas’ bring this new holiday tale to life,” said Ben Relles, Head of Unscripted for YouTube Originals. “We are also thrilled to have YouTube comedy star Rudy Mancuso in his first leading role in a music special.”

“‘The Keys of Christmas’ is truly a modern take on the holiday variety special, bringing together traditional and digital natives in this very unique musical format for the YouTube audience,” said Bonnie Pan, President, Endemol Shine Beyond USA. “Dave Meyers, who has an amazing track record working with the top musical acts of our time, had a vision and was able to weave that into a fresh new format with the likes of Mariah Carey, Ciara, DJ Khaled, Fifth Harmony, Rudy Mancuso and many other incredible performers just in time for Christmas.”

YOU’RE KILLING ME SUSANA, A ROMANTIC COMEDY

YOU’RE KILLING ME SUSANA, A ROMANTIC COMEDY STARRING GOLDEN GLOBE WINNER

GAEL GARCÍA BERNAL TO BEGIN U.S. THEATRICAL RUN IN LOS ANGELES AND
NEW YORK ON FEBRUARY 17, 2017 AND EXPAND THEREAFTER

You’re Killing Me Susana (Me Estás Matando Susana), a romantic comedy from Mexico starring Golden Globe winning actor Gael García Bernal (Mozart in the Jungle, Neruda), will begin its U.S. theatrical run on February 17, 2017 in Los Angeles and New York and expanding thereafter to 10 additional cities. Hola Mexico Distribution will release the film here, following its 2016 premieres at the Guadalajara International, Chicago International and Mill Valley Film Festivals and its theatrical run in Mexico this past August. Produced and directed by Roberto Sneider (Tear This Heart Out) from a screenplay by Luis Camara and Sneider based on the novel Deserted Cities (Ciudades Desiertas) by José Agustín, the film co-stars Verónica Echegui, Ashley Grace, Jadyn Wong, Björn Hlynur Haraldsson and Adam Hurtig.

Samuel Douek, president of Hola Mexico Distribution, said, “We believe U.S. audiences who are fans of Gael from such films as The Motorcylce Diaries, Babel and No and more recently his TV series Mozart in the Jungle will love him in You’re Killing Me Susana (Me Estás Matando Susana), where he’s a charming rogue in the tradition of Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones’s Diary and About a Boy. It’s a funny and entertaining date movie for adult filmgoers.”

In You’re Killing Me Susana (Me Estás Matando Susana) Bernal stars as Eligio, a narcissistic Mexico City soap opera actor who one day is shocked to discover that his wife Susana (Echegui) has picked up and left him without uttering a word. After learning that she has enrolled in a writing program at an Iowa university, he decides to go after her and persuade her to return to him. Arriving in what appears to be the middle of nowhere during a winter storm, Eligio feels like a fish out of water and is disappointed to find that Susana has already moved on with her life. Slowly it begins to dawn on him that it’s going to take a lot more than his usual boyish charisma and sweet talk to win her back.

Thanksgiving day/weekend

Hello everyone! Better late than never..Right??? So here is my little recap on how my thanksgiving/weekend was.

My mother and her husband came to spend the night with us for a few days plus she help me with Thanksgiving since I was hosting again. Thanksgiving day was a blast especially with a winning from our football team...Go Cowboys! We had so much food, dessert and everything was oh so good. After lunch/early dinner, we head out to the stores about 9:00pm and we were done by 10:00pm, yes only took us an hour and three stores. We got deals and some gifts out the way, but still got some shopping to do. Than we enjoyed Friday with my mom, had breakfast, went to two more stores, made a little bbq because thanksgiving leftovers were so overrated! Saturday morning my mom and her husband left to go visit a family member. We got the house in order to bring out our Christmas stuff, once done we put our Christmas tree up(other blog posted) and enjoying christmas music, and I must add I been watching Christmas movies since the being on November...hehehe hey I can't help it this is my favorite time of year.

Now that thanksgiving is done, is starting to feel a lot like Christmas and we are getting cooler weather...Yay!!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving like my family and I did! This was our second Thanksgiving in our house and to many more!!
