Christmas Movie Preview

Holiday Movie Preview Showdown
November- December


November 1st


     Now I have to be honest for this holiday season I am not to ecited  for the movies year. Because last year there was James Bond and Les Miserable's. The year before that there was Sherlock Holmes and Mission Impossible 5 and of course I could go on and on. So now for this holiday season we will start off with Ender's Game now as for me I have never read the book and I don't think I will make it in time for  the  movie.



      Finally we kind of get a Thanksgiving movie, I say it does look good. It's just about to turkey's going back in time to the very first Thanksgiving to try to get them over of the menu. Hopefully this film wont feel to close to Chicken Run. I'm just saying...


November 8th


    Now ever thought my most anticipated movie has already have come out and has gone. It was only on a limited release the film was called Parkland. So I will say Thor: The Dark World will be the one I am wanting to come out the most. I also liked Thor more then Captain America. So when you see my review of Thor 2 you will also see my rating  for the first one to. Remember the  second one in the series will always a little darker then the first one. But man it still looks epic!!



      Based on the famous book of the same name. It's about a little girls who love's reading books and come across a wounded soldier during WWII and keeps him hidden from the Nazi's. 


November 22

 
       But of course be can't forget one of the biggest one of all for the holidays. Now when the first one came out I thought it was the best spring over that came out that year. I'm still working on getting through the second book right now I'm about halfway done with it. But time is running OUT!! I think this is just about equal to the second Thor movie that I I'm waiting for.

November 27th  


  
        But we almost always can't forget the classic Disney animated movie for the holiday season. Based on the Hans Christin Anderson short story The Snow Queen about a girl going on an adventure to find her sister, but that's just the binging!!



      Well It's the best they have for any musical coming out this year at least it's something right? Since there is no Les Miserables and the very sad Rock Of Ages from last year. It is based on a Off-Broadway Musical play. About a young boy going to see is grandparents for the very first time for the holidays. NOTE: this is a musical, there will be singing involved. If you don't like that kind of thing.


       It is based on the remake of the same name. about a guy who's been locked up for 20 years and then all of a sudden has been set free and he does not know why. So it's about him trying to find answer's of who put him there in the first place. 

December 13th


     The continuing adventures of Bilbo Baggin's, it's about the biggest one for the holidays!
Let the BIG EPIC adventure begin!!


      About the true story of Walt Disney trying to get the Arthur that wrote Marry Poppins book to getting the rights to it, about bringing it to the big screen. But she really did not want it to become a film in the first place. A little fun fact.    
December 25th


       I love the team up's that Martain Scorsese and Leonardo Dicaprio do together I have liked what they have done so far. This movie is based on a true story about Dicaprio working on Wall Street and looks like partying all the time and stealing money and  looks like he almost got away with it. To me it looks like another Great Gatsby  all over again but this time it's true. Plus I don't care if it looks the same anyway.


       Believe it or not this movie is a remake the original film came out in 1941!! It is based on a famous Japanese story and maybe legend. About a group of samurai warriors to gain revenge for the death of their leader. It's nice to see Keanu Reeves get back in the swing of things similar to The Matrix. Plus we have not seem him in a long time for films lately.

  (1947)
 

 (2013)

  The last movie on my list is The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty. For the old one I think I've seen bites and
pieces of the movie and I did liked of what I saw. It's about a guy that lives in two different lives  his make believe and then his normal like. Plus the new one is rated PG I was amazed by it. Plus how can you not like Danny Kaye! So I hope you have fun this year for the Holiday Season. This will be a new tradition I will star doing for the new year. But it will be once a month at a time until the big summer movies come out or of course when it's the big Holiday Season.

Happy Holiday's!

    WB's will bring the book of the Lost Girls: An Unsolved American Mystery. the true crime text is officially described as follows:

   
One late spring evening in 2010, Shannan Gilbert, after running through the oceanfront community of Oak Beach screaming for her life, went missing. No one who had heard of her disappearance thought much about what had happened to the twenty-four-year-old: she was a Craigslist prostitute who had been fleeing a scene—of what, no one could be sure. The Suffolk County Police, too, seemed to have paid little attention—until seven months later, when an unexpected discovery in a bramble alongside a nearby highway turned up four bodies, all evenly spaced, all wrapped in burlap. But none of them Shannan's.

  
There was Maureen Brainard-Barnes, last seen at Penn Station in Manhattan three years earlier, and Melissa Barthelemy, last seen in the Bronx in 2009. There was Megan Waterman, last seen leaving a hotel in Hauppauge, Long Island, just a month after Shannan's disappearance in 2010, and Amber Lynn Costello, last seen leaving a house in West Babylon a few months later that same year. Like Shannan, all four women were petite and in their twenties, they all came from out of town to work as escorts, and they all advertised on Craigslist and its competitor, Backpage.

  
In a triumph of reporting—and in a riveting narrative—Robert Kolker presents the first detailed look at the shadow world of escorts in the Internet age, where making a living is easier than ever and the dangers remain all too real. He has talked exhaustively with the friends and family of each woman to reveal the three-dimensional truths about their lives, the struggling towns they came from, and the dreams they chased. And he has gained unique access to the Oak Beach neighborhood that has found itself the focus of national media scrutiny—where the police have flailed, the body count has risen, and the neighbors have begun pointing fingers at one another. There, in a remote community, out of sight of the beaches and marinas scattered along the South Shore barrier islands, the women's stories come together in death and dark mystery. Lost Girls is a portrait not just of five women, but of unsolved murder in an idyllic part of America, of the underside of the Internet, and of the secrets we keep without admitting to ourselves that we keep them.

      J.R. Moehringer grew up listening for a voice: It was the sound of his missing father, a disc jockey who disappeared before J.R. spoke his first words. As a boy, J.R. would press his ear to a clock radio, straining to hear in that resonant voice the secrets of masculinity, and the keys to his own identity. J.R.'s mother was his world, his anchor, but he needed something else, something more, something he couldn't name. So he turned to the bar on the corner, a grand old New York saloon that was a sanctuary for all types of men — cops and poets, actors and lawyers, gamblers and stumblebums. The flamboyant characters along the bar — including J.R.'s Uncle Charlie, a Humphrey Bogart look-alike; Colt, a Yogi Bear sound-alike; Joey D, a soft-hearted brawler; and Cager, a war hero who raised handicapping horses to an art — taught J.R., tended him, and provided a kind of fatherhood by committee. When the time came for J.R. to leave home, the bar became a way station — from his entrance to Yale, where he floundered as a scholarship student way out of his element; to his introduction to tragic romance with a woman way out of his league; to his stint as a copy boy at the New York Times, where he was a faulty cog in a vast machine way out of his control. Through it all, the bar offered shelter from failure, from rejection, and eventually from reality — until at last the bar turned J.R. away.
