NEW IN THEATERS

Annie

This remake starring Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz was leaked during the Sony hack. December 19.

The Interview

This movie from Seth Rogen and James Franco may have provoked the Sony hack. December 25.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

Plus-1 to this movie for not being called The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies: PART I. Minus-1 for being the chronological parallel of Star Wars: Episode III. Also, minus-2 for probably having even more final scenes than The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King did. December 17.

Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb

Try not to cry when Robin Williams appears. December 19.

Unbroken

Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut may very well be an Oscar contender. She even followed the “do a movie about WWII” model. December 25.
