Anyway, here's what's mainly on my radar for the month of December:
- American Hustle
-David O. Russell (Director of 'Silver Linings Playbook' and 'The Fighter') mashes up the casts of those movies and puts them in this tale that puts con artist Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale), along with his seductive British partner Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams), being forced to work for wild FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper). DiMaso pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers, mafia and crooked politicians. Also starring Jennifer Lawrence and Jeremy Renner. This looks like it could be a lot of fun.
- The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
-The next movie in the 'Hobbit' trilogy which continue$ the story of Bilbo and the dwarve$ on a quest to recover their gold from $maug the dragon. I wa$n't the bigge$t fan of the fir$t 'Hobbit' movie but who know$ maybe thi$ one will be better. I $till don't under$tand why they $plit 'The Hobbit' into three movie$ and added A LOT of padding from the appendice$ of Lord of the Ring$ to connect that $tory to 'Hobbit'....
- Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues
-By the beard of Zeus! At long last, the 'Anchorman' sequel is finally upon us. And yes that is a very big deal. From what I've heard about the plot it involves the Channel 4 News Team getting back together after years apart to join a 24-hour news channel. In addition to the original cast returning, other people in this sequel include Harrison Ford, James Marsden, Kristen Wiig, and a whole slew of other cameos. This is a sequel I've been waiting YEARS for. Now if Hollywood could just follow suit with an 'Austin Powers 4' and an 'Indiana Jones 5'....
- Saving Mr. Banks
-Walt Disney (Tom Hanks) makes his daughters a promise that would end up taking him over 20 years to finally follow through on. The movie is about his attempts to persuade P.L. Travers (Emma Thompson) to turn 'Mary Poppins' into a movie. Looks like it could be good, and already it is getting critical acclaim.
- The Wolf of Wall Street
-Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio), from his rise to a wealthy stockbroker living the high life to his fall involving crime, corruption and the federal government. This is the latest from Martin Scorsese, legendary director who has made such movies as 'Hugo', 'Shutter Island', 'The Departed', 'Gangs Of New York', 'Goodfellas', 'Raging Bull', and many other movies. Apparently this movie is supposed to clock in around 2 hours, 59 minutes (making it even longer than 'The Hobbit') but it looks like it could still be a lot of fun.
And here's what else is coming in December: - Out of the Furnace - with Christian Bale, Casey Affleck and Woody Harrelson in a story about a man who takes the law into his own hands after his brother goes missing and nobody in town is doing anything about it.
- 47 Ronin - with Keanu Reeves starring in a tale about a band of samurai that set out to avenge the death and dishonor of their master at the hands of a ruthless shogun.
- Inside Llewyn Davis - the latest from the Coen Bros. (who brought us 'Big Lebowski', 'O Brother Where Art Thou?', the 'True Grit' remake and 'No Country For Old Men' among others) follows a week in the life of the fictional titular folk singer (Oscar Isaacs) as he navigates through the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961.
- Walking With Dinosaurs - a 3D movie adaptation of the BBC miniseries that is supposed to make us 'see and feel what it was like when dinosaurs ruled the Earth' in a story
where an underdog dino triumphs to become a hero for the ages.
- Justin Bieber's Believe - WHY?!?!?!?!?!!?
- Grudge Match - Sylvestor Stallone and Robert De Niro star as two aging fighters who decide to get in the ring one last time. 'Rocky' VS 'Raging Bull'....
- The Secret Life of Walter Mitty - A loose adaptation of the short story that follows Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller, who also directs), who is constantly daydreaming about having a more exciting life than what he's currently living. He then sets off on a global journey to
find a missing picture, which is needed for the final issue of Life magazine.
- Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas - WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!
