Holiday Season Must-See Movies

Facebook Tweet
Kelsey Thomas   December 3, 2012

There’s no better way to warm your heart–let’s face it, even the cruelest of plots have us saying “awww” at some point–and your body this holiday season than to head out for a good old-fashioned cinematic adventure. Check out our list of must-see flicks for the season.

Silver Linings Playbook 

Release date: Out now.  Hurry! 

Cast members: Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, Chris Tucker, Jacki Weaver, Julia Stiles (yes, she’s still alive – we were wondering too).

Find out what happens when a bipolar fresh out of a mental health facility and a sex-addicted widow meet. This film will break your heart and put it back together, all in 122 minutes. This is totally hidden under a chick-flick veil, but even my boyfriend admitted it was a masterpiece.

Killing Them Softly

Release date: November 30, 2012

Cast Members:  Brad Pitt, Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn, James Gandolfini, Richard Jenkins, Vincent Curatola

Nothing say badass like Brad Pitt, the mob and a bunch of guns. Based on the 1974 book Cogan’s Trade.

 

Zero Dark Thirty

Release date: December 19, 2012

Cast members: Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Joel Edgerton, Jennifer Ehle, Mark Strong, Kyle Chandler, Edgar Ramirez

Documents the decade-long hunt for Osama bin Laden. This dark film is based on real people and real events, and according to critics, it’s very accurate. Given our nation’s situation since 9/11, this is going to be a big deal.

 

The Guilt Trip

Release date: December 19, 2012

Cast members: Seth Rogan, Barbara Streisand, Colin Hanks, Yvonne Strahoski, Adam Scott

A mother and middle-aged son roadtrip.  Hm, the trailer alone makes me feel awkward.

 

This is 40

Release date:  December 21, 2012

Cast members: Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Megan Fox, John Lithgow, Melissa McCarthy, Robert Smigel

“The sort-of sequel to Knocked Up.” Need they say more?  Also, after Bridesmaids, Melissa McCarthy is enough reason to see any movie.
