- The It List is Yahoo's weekly look at the best in pop culture. With the coronavirus pandemic in mind, here are our picks for the week of December 14.

Bruce Willis is once again revisiting his action hero roots, this time in the sci-fi horror movie Breach. As the title suggests, someone-- or rather, something-- appears to have boarded Bruce's spaceship, and Bruce, well, he's not a fan.

- The bullets were useless.

- What about fire?

- Might work.

- Hi, who wants barbecue?

- Whether they're zombies or aliens or the rarely seen hybrid of zombie-alien, you can bet that good old Bruce will take them out.

A lot of musicians have spent lockdown cooking up new tunes. Not a lot of them are Paul McCartney. McCartney III marks the third album in a trilogy the artist began way back in 1970, and was recorded at his home in Sussex. McCartney said of the process, "It was about making music for yourself rather than making music that has to do a job."

Moving on from singing to dancing, Disney Plus has a new docuseries about the competitive and grueling world of ballet.

- It's not a recital of just children. They're performing with the top company in the world.

- Last year I didn't get anything, and I was terrified.

- Unfortunately, we won't be able to use you.

- It is a little bit of a roller coaster.

- On Pointe follows students at the prestigious School of American Ballet as they work towards mastering their art. It's definitely not as dark as Black Swan, but I'd bet money that there will definitely be tears.
