    Peter Jackson returns to his more intimate filmmaking roots with this adaptation of the bestseller about a murdered girl who watches over her family - and her murderer - from the afterlife.

  • Avatar

    Avatar

    Release - 12/18 | More Info.
    Starring: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver

    This small indie film with no budget or stars…oh wait, that’s not this one…ok, this is James Cameron's return to the director’s chair 12 years after Titanic (the biggest movie in b.o. history). Avatar is a sci-fi adventure story about a planet, Pandora, and its indigenous race of humanoids known as the Na’vi, and what happens to them when the humans arrive. The big screen 3D epic is supposed to change the world of cinema. On December 18, we'll get to see if it does just that.

    2009 Universal Pictures

  • Sherlock Holmes

    Sherlock Holmes

    Release - 12/25 | More Info.
    Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams

    Can't wait for Iron Man 2 to see more RDJ heroics? Elementary, dear Downey fans. Sherlock Holmes is here to knock your socks off. Unlike the stuffy Holmes characters of old, this Sherlock is equally fast with a quip and a roundhouse kick to your midsection. He's action hero, Holmes, and we imagine audiences everywhere will eat up the souped-up version of the super-sleuth just fine.

    2009 Warner Bros. Pictures

  • The Tree of Life

    The Tree of Life

    Release - 12/25 | More Info.
    Starring: Brad Pitt, Sean Penn

    Details are sketchy for this "mystical epic," but we felt compelled to include it for a couple of reasons. It stars Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, so if it does open at Christmas, you'll be hearing plenty about it soon enough. And the project's directed by the reclusive Terrence Malick. While there are plenty of movie fans who can't stand Malick’s New World and The Thin Red Line, there are also plenty - including movie buffs in prominent studio positions - who clamor to see anything he touches. Either way, keep an eye out for it.
