The Hobbit if I see anything at all. And only because I think my mom wants to go see it. I'm expecting 2 hours of walking on ridges, celtic music, and that annoying Gollum followed by a whole whopping 10 minutes of dragons.
Which is sad, cause I love fantasy. Wasn't impressed by the first Hobbit.
I'm more interested in seeing the Hunger Games sequel but really there is nothing that makes me want to go in to the theater.

Aww, bummer. That was one of my favorite recent trailers. Might still check it out.

That hurts. I have plans to see it twice already so hopefully it's good!
Probably won't see Furnace in theatres now due to the above.
Hobbit 2, Frozen, Wolf, Ronin and Hustle. Busy month.
That's a major disappointment. I was looking forward to it as well.
Anyway, here is what I plan to see this month:
Madoka Magica: Rebellion (out this month in Clearwater)
American Hustle. I loved The Fighter (there was another boxing film that came out around that time, does anyone remember the name of it?) and Silver Linings Playbook (well the first 2/3rd of it, I only liked the last third.).
Her. I was a little skeptical by the trailers, but the posts in here is making me reconsider my stance.
The Wolf of Wall Street. I love Scorsese.
Hobbit 2. I love Middle Earth, so I have to see this.
Lone Survivor. I'll see it due to my neighbor footing the bill. I am not *that* interested in it, but it looks to have potential.
Inside Llewyn Davis. I love the Coen brothers.
I might see Anchorman, Out of the Furnace, 47 Ronins, and Walter Mitty (disappointed by the mix reviews as I loved the trailers for it).

I was wondering why you didn't have it in the top ten I'll check out this weekend and see for myself though my dad is really looking forward to it.
Expendable.

Oh, there is still plenty of that here.

Hmm didn't know the Coen's had a new movie coming out ?
Expendable.

Talked to some people that saw it last night and said it was funny, so hopeful. But I agree, not looking strong.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
Ouch, can't even give a matinee spot to the Hobbit 2? Early buzz seems to be really positive. Anchorman 2 screams dud to me, but I didn't particular like the first one.
Planning on catching up on some November movies, such as 12 Days a Slave and Frozen. Really wanting to see Her as well, hoping it is available in my area.

Yep and it goes wide on December 20th!
UK here, so not very much it seems. Almost everything in the OP comes out January here, earliest. This month I'll be going to see The Desolation of Smaug and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
UK January releases I'll be watching:
12 Years a Slave
The Wolf of Wall Street
Inside Llewyn Davis
Her
American Hustle

Hell yes. Great news that it is getting a wide release. Makes sense, as I'm sure it'll be an oscar contender.
Any idea about how they're rolling Her out?
Limited release throughout December, and what will likely end up being a semi-wide expansion in early January.

Going to be? Look at Japan and Love +. The future of loving machines is here.
Well I meant more globally. Japan will always be trailblazers when it comes to stuff that can be seen as... weird.

Inside Llewyn Davis is the only Coen's brothers film I didn't like. If you tell is not by them I believe it .
At this point in time it's impossible to create a text chat AI that can even hold a convincing conversation. The level of AI and quality of voice synthesis necessary to create a realistic girlfriend is a long long time away.

Fuck man, Wolf of Wall Street looks brilliant. How hasn't Rob Reiner played Jonah Hill's dad before?

Saw Inside Llewyn Davis yesterday. The previews didn't really grab much of my attention, but I ended up liking it a good deal.

Is this the first time there has not been a lot of hype for a Peter Jackson Middle-Earth film.
I must admit.. I'm not that excited to see it. But that feels wrong thinking that in my heart. I love middle-earth. I think The Hobbit was excellent in many ways but no way how I slice it I can't get over the fact...
The white evil Orc in Hobbit was not a great villain. I don't think he offered anything. Because he was worth almost nothing it was difficult for the hero dwarfs to be anything. Then there was the repeats. And the saving graces. And all this CGI which looked fake.
It's almost like a deja vu to Star Wars. The old movies had flair and personality with costumes and make up. The new ones are dead and hollow with all the CGI and wonky acting from actors talking into green screens.
Sure LOTR had CGI but it was used more sparsely. And only Gollum was really used. The Orcs in Hobbit.. and goblin king. It felt like a Harry Potter movie.
But do I really believe this? Did 48 Frames had anything to do with it? shiit.

Just saw an advanced screening of Lone Survivor....damn that was a good movie. I thought it was pretty tough to watch because of the physical beating those guys took, and the incredible loss that Luttrell experienced. The brotherhood and sheer inner strength of those men was inspiring but damn was it a tragic movie. Left the theatre and didn't really want to talk for a couple of hours as it all just sank in.

I'll see wolf on Xmas I don't give a fuuuuuuuuuuck
It always came across as being too minor for serious awards buzz, so this really doesn't change its chances much. The worst that will happen is that Hanks doesn't get two nominations this year, but OH WELL.
Really liked American Hustle. It kinda felt like Scorsese film to be honest. I bet I even end ranking it over Wolf of Wall Street. Wolf looks too exaggerated to be interesting satire. I wonder if Leo is out of Oscar luck again. I would see 12 Years a Slave's lead take the Oscar this year. Fass and Bale will cage fight for the supporting actor Oscar.
