December 2016 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.

week of December 2

Incarnate

Director: Brad Peyton

Stars: Carice van Houten, Aaron Eckhart, David Mazouz, Catalina Sandino Moreno

Why? Hmm… a non-religious take on exorcism.

week of December 9

Office Christmas Party

Directors: Josh Gordon | Will Speck

Stars: Kate McKinnon, Olivia Munn, Jennifer Aniston, Jamie Chung

Why? This looks like it should be pretty funny… like, I'm surprised this isn't a National Lampoon's movie or starring Seth Rogen and James Franco.

week of December 16

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Director: Gareth Edwards

Stars: Felicity Jones, Mads Mikkelsen, Forest Whitaker, Alan Tudyk

Why? It's the setup to Episode IV, and features Darth Vader!

Solace

Director: Afonso Poyart

Why? Ford from Westworld teams up with Negan from The Walking Dead to solve crimes.

week of December 23

Passengers

Director: Morten Tyldum

Stars: Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pratt, Michael Sheen, Andy Garcia

Why? Could watch Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt in just about anything.

Assassin's Creed

Director: Justin Kurzel

Stars: Marion Cotillard, Michael Fassbender, Essie Davis, Jeremy Irons

Why? I haven't played the game, but the movie looks interesting.

Why Him?

Director: John Hamburg

Stars: Zoey Deutch, James Franco, Bryan Cranston, Megan Mullally

Why? This could be really funny… as long as they didn't use all the jokes in the trailer.

week of December 30

Nothing really piqued my interest.
