These are my picks (complete with the reason for my choice) for the movies coming to theaters in December, but feel free to check out all of December's releases by visiting the Internet Movie Database's Coming Soon page.
Friday, December 2nd
- SLEEPING BEAUTY
- Director: Julia Leigh
-
Why? This was a limited release back in October, so I'm hoping it'll get wider release this time. I like the concept, and it stars the girl from Sucker Punch.
Stars: Emily Browning, Rachael Blake, Ewen Leslie -
Friday, December 9th
- YOUNG ADULT [limited release]
- Director: Jason Reitman
- Why? The trailer looks hilarious! A combination of Charlize Theron and Patton Oswalt sounds great
Stars: Charlize Theron, Patrick Wilson, Patton Oswalt - Why? The trailer looks hilarious! A combination of Charlize Theron and Patton Oswalt sounds great
- THE SITTER
- Director: David Gordon Green
- Why? The concept of Jonah Hill babysitting seems funny enough given some of his previous roles, but the trailer really sells it.

- I MELT WITH YOU
- Director: Mark Pellington
- Why? The concept is interesting, and the cast clinches it.

Friday, December 16th
- SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS
- Director: Guy Ritchie
- Why? The first one was brilliant. Guy Ritchie successfully brought his independent movie style to a blockbuster franchise.

Wednesday, December 21st
- THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO
- Director: David Fincher
- Why? If you need a reason other than the fact that David Fincher is directing, then we can't be friends. As a bonus, Trent Reznor from NIN is back doing the music for another Fincher film. He won an Oscar last time.
Stars: Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara, Stellan Skarsgård, Robin Wright
Friday, December 23rd
- MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – GHOST PROTOCOL [releases on 12/16 in IMAX only]
- Director: Brad Bird
- Why? It's Mission Impossible! Bad Robot (JJ Abrams' company) is backing the movie again even though JJ isn't directing. Instead, Brad Bird is directing, and he gave us The Incredibles. If you need an additional reason, 6 minutes (yes, 6 minutes!) of The Dark Knight Rises will be shown prior to M:I4. I'm planning to be in the theater on December 16th for this reason.
