Can you believe it's already December? Every year I'm surprised by how fast the months go by! I'm convinced that each year is passing faster and faster. Am I the only one?
Anyway, last month I saw Frozen and Catching Fire. I would highly recommend both. Frozen was a cute, heartwarming adventure about a princess trying to save her sister and her kingdom, and Catching Fire was just plain amazing.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
The second film after last year's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is a continuation of Bilbo Baggins' (Martin Freeman) journey with Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen), the dwarf Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) and his twelve companions. They enter the Mirkwood, where they encounter a skin-changer, giant spiders, and Wood-elves. I'll definitely be seeing this with my brothers. (December 13)
Saving Mr. Banks
This biographical comedy-drama centers around the creation of Walt Disney Studio's film Mary Poppins in 1961. Pamela "P.L." Travers (Emma Thompson), author of Mary Poppins, has negotions with Walt Disney (Tom Hanks) about the making of the beloved movie Mary Poppins. It brings back memories of her difficult childhood in Australia and her father, who was the inspiration for the character Mr. Banks. This film looks so great! It's like getting a behind the scenes look of one of my favorite movies. (December 20)
