Come next December 2011, I'm going to have to have start living on weekends at the movie theaters because it seems like every movie is releasing that very month. At least the ones I want to see anyway. Lets look at the evidence.
It's starts off with December 9th. Martin Scorsese's
Hugo Cabret is up first. His first 3D venture is about a young boy, Hugo, who lives in a train station in 1930s Paris and has to solve a mystery surrounding his late father. The cast includes Asa Butterfield as Hugo, Chole Moretz, Jude Law, Sacha Baron Cohen, Ben Kingsley and Christopher Lee. I'm really looking forward to see how Scorsese tackles 3D.
It goes up against
New Year's Eve, the followup to
Valentine's Day. It's just an excuse to see as many good-looking and famous actors in one film. Gary Marshall will be back as director.
The weekend after that brings
Mission Impossible 4 and
Sherlock Holmes 2 on December 16th.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo comes out on December 21st. Do you know how it's been since Daniel Craig has a release, I can't possibly wait that long? December 23 belongs to Cameron Crowe's movie with Matt Damon,
We Bought a Zoo, which sounds very promising and
The Muppets are back on the screen on Christmas Day with Jason Segel and Amy Adams.
And finally, my very own dilemma on December 28th, which Steven Spielberg film to watch first? Will it be
War Horse, a WWI epic about a boy and his horse or
The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn. Hate the title, though I can't wait to see the collaboration with Peter Jackson. So long between releases and they both end up on the same day! How is that fair?
So there you have it. This isn't counting the other films that have yet to decide their release dates but all I know is we'll be spoiled for choices unless the studios blink first and decide to change their release date.
