Holiday Movies Preview 2009

Most of your favorite stars have movies coming out in the next 2 months for the holiday season, including all of the following:

Jim Carrey, Viggo Mortensen, John Cusak, Gary Oldman, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Sandra Bullock, John Cleese, Robert De Niro, George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Val Kilmer, Justin Long, Kate Beckinsale, Robin Williams, Nicolas Cage, John Travolta, Jake Gyllenhall, Natalie Portman, Tobey McGuire, Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law, Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon, Steve Martin, Sam Elliot, Sigourney Weaver, Rachel Weisz, Ewan McGregor, Keven Spacey, Chow Yun-Fat, Laurence Fishbourne, our favorite Dude - Jeff Bridges and more!

Three highly anticipated films are due soon:

Nov. 25th - "The Road" based on a Pulitzer prize winning novel, stars Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron and Robert Duvall in an apocalyptic depressing - Oscar will love it - drama. Oscar buzz is, in fact, so strong about this movie insiders are already giving Viggo the nod for another nomination for Best Actor. Let's hope that Daniel Day-Lewis doesn't have a movie coming out between now and the Oscar Nominations. Go Viggo!

Dec. 18th - "Avatar" opens to mega-hype over James Cameron's ground breaking super CGI laden, special effects bonanza. Promising to change the way movies are made, the jury is still out on this one. Sigourney Weaver is in it and maybe they can use some of that "Galaxy Quest" CGI on her boobs again. Wow-wee!

Dec 25th - "Holmes" starring Robert Downey, Jr as Sherlock Holmes and Jude Law as Dr. Watson storms into theaters already under much hype. Downey is still in the middle of his "comeback" and this is his first major role since Tropic Thunder where he scored an Oscar nom for Best Supporting Actor. And damn! He looks great. Downey makes Johhny Depp look like homeless bag of s***. We're just hoping that Jude Law actually "shows up" and tries to act.

There are 3 animated movies for the kids - Planet 51, Alvin and the Chipmunks and The Princess and the Frog, all due out before Christmas.

The horror movie "The Fourth Kind" looks exciting and promising unlike "Paranormal Inactivity" as we are calling it. Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day is FINALLY out and the word isn't good. 10 years in the making and it could never live up to the original in which Willem DaFoe should have gotten an Oscar nom.

Twilight fans are salivating over "New Moon" due Nov. 20th - we're old school on that and prefer the new vampire movie on DVD called "Let the Right One in." Wowza! Completely re-invents the vampire genre much like 30 Days of Night, only weirder and better.

"The Wolfman" trailer is out and Benecio Del Toro was pretty much born for it- it looks awesome, but not out until February 2010.

And finally, Heath Ledger's final movie is out Christmas Day. Director Terry Gilliam's "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus" - Strange director, strange title, dead lead...hmmm....we're not sure about this one. At all.
