Designing Christmas

Designer Stella Murphy and contractor Pablo Belmonte are the bickering co-hosts of House Sweet Home, a reality home redecorating renovation show. That bickering extends to off camera, but in a way that only true friends could do. When on Thanksgiving they learn that the homeowners for what was supposed to be their Christmas episode back out, that episode historically their highest rated, Zoe, the show's producer who is always looking for the "hook", especially important with this episode as it is uncertain whether the network will renew the show for next season, is able to convince an initially reluctant Stella and her fiancé Jack Hall not only to be the homeowners for the episode, but also to move their wedding up by several months to be featured at the redecorated house on the home reveal on Christmas Eve. The house itself used to be in Stella's family, it actually built by her great great grandparents one hundred twenty years ago, but was necessarily sold by her grandparents thirty years ago, and has gone into disrepair when Stella recently was able to purchase it, she always wanting to do so in her fond childhood memories in that house. With the cameras rolling for the five weeks, it is uncertain whether Stella, Jack and Pablo as a collective will be able to hold their respective relationships together with the goings-on behind the scenes: as Stella discovers unknowns regarding the house, some good, some not so good and some really bad; as Jack is more preoccupied with promoting his new paint company, Turner + Klee, through this episode as opposed to supporting Stella with this home renovation, Stella somewhat aware that he would much rather live in his modern condo than this house; and as Pablo, in having long held feelings for Stella himself, is unsure if he can work with Stella any longer after the wedding also in knowing that Jack is the wrong person for her.

The Passion of the Christ

2 hr 7 mins
A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the controversial Jesus - who has performed 'miracles' and has publicly announced that he is 'the Son of God' - is arrested and taken back within the city walls of Jerusalem. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy; subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, for his sentencing. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees. Realizing that his own decision will cause him to become embroiled in a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in deciding the matter of how to persecute Jesus. However, Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who, in turn, gives the crowd a choice between which prisoner they would rather to see set free - Jesus, or Barabbas. The crowd chooses to have Barabbas set free. Thus, Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and is brutally flagellated. Bloody and unrecognizable, he is brought back before Pilate who, once again, presents him to the thirsty crowd - assuming they will see that Jesus has been punished enough. The crowd, however, is not satisfied. Thus, Pilate washes his hands of the entire dilemma, ordering his men to do as the crowd wishes. Whipped and weakened, Jesus is presented with the cross and is ordered to carry it through the streets of Jerusalem, all the way up to Golgotha. There, more corporal cruelty takes place as Jesus is nailed to the cross-suffering, he hangs there, left to die. Initially, in his dazed suffering, Jesus is alarmed that he has been abandoned by God his father. He then beseeches God. At the moment of his death, nature itself over-turns.
