Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas

The Ref (1994) always comes to mind in terms of underrated Christmas-time films. Granted, this is not your typical mushy, fully cheerful film, as Denis Leary stars as a burglar on the run who takes a married couple (Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis) hostage on Christmas Eve.

In the Abyss

Against the backdrop of the buzz from Martin Shkreli's arrest this morning, equity bears may be looking into the abyss, too.
