December 2012 Movie Guide

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 7th

Deadfall

Director: Stefan Ruzowitzky

Stars: Eric Bana, Olivia Wilde, Charlie Hunnam, Sissy Spacek

·         Why? Looks like a pretty good story, and I'm not opposed to watching Eric Bana or Olivia Wilde for an hour plus.

Friday, December 14th

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Director: Peter Jackson

Stars: Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Andy Serkis

·         Why? If you've seen the LOTR trilogy, then you know why!

Friday, December 21st

This is 40

Director: Judd Apatow

Stars: Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Jason Segel, Melissa McCarthy

·         Why? This continues the story of some of the characters from Knocked Up. Plus, Paul Rudd is comedy gold right now.

Jack Reacher

Director: Christopher McQuarrie

Stars: Tom Cruise, Rosamund Pike, Richard Jenkins, Robert Duvall

·         Why? Tom Cruise continually gives us great performances in action movies, and this looks like it won't be the exception.

Monsters, Inc 3D

Directors: Pete Docter | David Silverman | Lee Unkrich

Stars: Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Mary Gibbs, Steve Buscemi

·         Why? This movie is hilarious, and I'd pay to see it again. The 3D conversions on other re-releases have been great. Plus, they'll probably show a preview for the upcoming prequel!

Friday, December 28th

Django Unchained

Director: Quentin Tarantino

Stars: Jamie Foxx, Don Johnson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington

·         Why? If, after seeing who's directing, you still need a reason, then you're on the wrong web page.
