Killing Them Softly

Directed by Andrew Dominik
Releasing Nov 30 2012

 

 
Andrew Dominik’s third film finds him reunited with Brad Pitt, the star of his 2007 effort The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford , in this update of George V. Higgins' 1974 novel Cogan’s Trade. Pitt plays a hitman tasked to track down the thieves (Ben Mendelsohn and Scoot McMairy) who robbed a mafia-controlled poker game run by Ray Liotta. The film updates the action to post-crash, pre-election 2008, but critics have been split on whether Dominik overstates the political and economic underpinnings of his story. Rounding out the cast are Richard Jenkins and Sam Shepard as well as two actors quite familiar with mob stories: Vincent Curatola, who played Johnny Sack on The Sopranos, and Tony Soprano himself, James Gandolfini, as another killer brought in to help with the job.

Hyde Park on Hudson

Directed by Roger Michell
Releasing Dec 07 2012

On a weekend in June 1939, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited the President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It was the first time a King of England had visited the United States, and FDR supposedly showed him a pretty good time. Rumored to have shown the president a good time that weekend was Margaret Suckley, a distant cousin and his alleged mistress, while FDR's secretary Marguerite “Missy” LeHand was on hand as a rival for the president's affections. (FDR, it seems, was a multitasker.) One would think that all these characters would make for a lively film, especially with Bill Murray as FDR, Olivia Williams as Eleanor Roosevelt (Rushmore reunion!), Laura Linney as Suckley, and Samuel West and Olivia Colman as the King and Queen, but early reviews have been mixed for Roger Michell’s  latest, though Murray and Linney are drawing praise for their performances.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Directed by Peter Jackson
Releasing Dec 14 2012

The Hobbit's journey from page to screen hasn't been unexpected so much as surprisingly turbulent, with numerous delays causing original director Guillermo del Toro to depart the project. (He remains credited as a co-writer.) What is unexpected is that the slightest of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings novels (which, for the uninitiated, serves as a prequel to the actual LOTR trilogy) has been turned into not one, not two, but three separate films, with the subsequent chapters to arrive in 2013 and 2014. Ian McKellen returns as Gandalf, while Martin Freeman (Sherlock, The Office) takes the lead as the young Bilbo Baggins. In addition to the standard 3D, 2D, and IMAX options, some theaters will screen the film in the new High Frame Rate 3D (HFR 3D) digital format championed by James Cameron, which uses 48 frames per second rather than the industry-standard 24; while that in theory produces a higher-quality image, some viewers reacted negatively to test footage screened earlier this year.

Amour

Directed by Michael Haneke
Releasing Dec 19 2012

Michael Haneke’s Palme d’Or-winning Amour is an unflinching look at the love between Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant) and his sickly wife Anne (Emmanuelle Riva). The film has earned almost universal praise from critics, but Haneke’s challenging films, which include The Piano Teacher , Caché (Hidden)  and his previous Palme d’Or winner The White Ribbon  rarely bring big audiences to the theater. Could his latest break the trend? It’s doubtful, but perhaps some Oscar nominations—a distinct possibility—could help drive interest.

The Guilt Trip

Directed by Anne Fletcher
Releasing Dec 19, 2012


Seth Rogen stars as an inventor who decides to take his mother, played by Barbra Streisand, on the road with him as he tries to sell his revolutionary organic cleaner in this comedy written by Dan Fogelman (Crazy, Stupid, Love ) and directed by Anne Fletcher ( Dresses and The Proposal ). Over the course of eight days and 3,000 miles, mother and son share plenty of awkward moments that eventually bring them closer together. While the concept sounds a bit stale, the comedic skills of Rogen and Streisand along with the strong supporting cast of Adam Scott, Colin Hanks, Yvonne Strahovski, Danny Pudi, Casey Wilson, and Dale Dickey could make this a solid choice for a family movie outing during the holidays.

Zero Dark Thirty

Directed by Kathryn Bigelow
Releasing Dec 19 2012

When we last heard from Kathryn Bigelow, the director was busy becoming the first woman ever to win an Academy Award for best director, while her film, The Hurt Locker , earned best picture honors. Her follow-up finds Bigelow in familiar action territory but shifting from the Iraq War to the war on terror to depict the final days of the manhunt for Osama bin Laden. The script once again comes from Mark Boal, while the ensemble cast features Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Joel Edgerton, Chris Pratt, James Gandolfini, and Kyle Chandler. Note that only folks in Los Angeles and New York will get to see the film on December 19th (when it begins an Oscar-qualifying run); the rest of the country will have to wait until January 11, 2013.
