The Coming Attractions

So there are a few movies I'm looking forward to that come out in the month of December and in the new year.  I thought I'd give you a heads up.

So for all you romantic audience members out there, look out for a book turned movie (yes, another one) called Something Borrowed.  It's going to hit theaters June 10, 2011.  Now I realize this feels like a long ways away, but, having read the book I am enthusiastic about the outcome.  The cast includes Ginnifer Goodwin as the main character Rachel, Kate Hudson as the self-involved best friend Darcy, and John Krasinski as the supportive but witty best friend Ethan.  In case that didn't get you worked up enough, it also includes a plot that has you supporting the lovable Ginnifer Goodwin as she tries to steal her best friend's fiancee.  You let go of all your morals and overall understanding of right and wrong, in order to hope for this essential home wrecker, to win the guy in the end.  Something to look forward to.  I trust you men know to stay away for your own good.  I wouldn't want you blaming me for wasting 2 hours out of your life.  This is more or less strictly a movie for the cheesy lovestruck girl in all of us.

Now for the more emotionally deep critics out there, Rabbit Hole would suit you perfectly.  It's about dealing with grief in the most realistic and bare way possible.  I can just tell the acting in this film will be worth the time spent watching it.  The cast includes Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart, and Sandra Oh.  It comes out December 17 of this year.

A special treat for the country western fans out there: True Grit is a film about revenge and justice, while a young girl hires a bounty hunter (Jeff Bridges) to help track down her father's murderer.  The cast includes Matt Damon, Jeff Bridges, Josh Brolin, and it's directed by the Coen brothers.  It comes out December 22 of this year.  Another Coen brother classic? 

And finally, for the more fantasy driven fans, Black Swan is a dark thriller that, to be completely honest, just looks really cool and twisted.  It stars Natalie Portman, Wynona Ryder, and Mila Kuniz as they compete in their ballet pursuits. Events unfold and by the looks of the trailer, the black swan might be taking on a more literal interpretation.  This film is out now in selected theaters.   

Check out the trailers of these films and see for yourself if they look worth your time.
