Holiday Movie Guide - Now in Theaters

The weeks leading up to Christmas and New Years’ can be both an obstacle course of mad-shopping and a welcome escape of prime film watching. Whether you want to get a jump on Oscar buzz and check out these acclaimed flicks for yourself or are merely looking for a quaint movie the whole (visiting for too long) family can enjoy – see the best your Cineplex/neighborhood art house has to offer this December.  

  

Anna Karenina 

Focus Features 

Director: Joe Wright  

Keira Knightley, Jude Law, Aaron Johnson

 

(Now in theaters) Based on Leo Tolstoy’s novel, this is a story of a woman who jeopardizes her family for an illicit love affair. Set in 19th century Russian aristocracy, audiences will embrace the fine tuned choreography, lavish set design and smoldering performances. 

 


 

Twilight: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2 

Summit Entertainment, LLC 

Director: Bill Condon 

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner 

  

(Now in theaters) Arguably the strongest installment in the film series, In this last installment of the Twilight films, Bella and Edward struggle to prove their daughter is not an immortal child, while facing an attack from the Volturi. Fans of the series won’t be disappointed with this action packed film that brings together a culmination of all the things Twihard fans have loved in previous films. 

 


Life of Pi 

20th Century Fox Distribution 

Director: Ang Lee 

Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Ayush Tandon 

  

(Now in theaters) Both poetic and brutally life affirming, Ang Lee’s metaphysical masterpiece is a vision. Life of Pi is about the extraordinary journey of an Indian boy’s adventure to America. Director Ang Lee does an amazing job with special effects, making this story about far more than just a boy sharing a boat with a Bengal Tiger.
