DESCRIPTION

Summer blockbusters are gone and now it's time for our fall movies otherwise known as the awards season. Which films am I dying to see? Save the dates, here we go.

SEPTEMBER 14

THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER -- One of my favorite movies this year arrives in limited release. This one stars Emma Watson aka Hermione from the “Harry Potter” series.

FINDING NEMO 3D – Yes, one of the best Pixar films will swim again, this time in glorious 3D.

THE MASTER – Joaquin Phoenix returns with help from Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Thomas Anderson, the director who gave us the memorable, seminal movie, “There Will Be Blood.”

SEPTEMBER 21

END OF WATCH – Jake Gyllenhaal marvels in this film from “Training Day” director David Ayer.

DREDD 3D – This is not your Sylvester Stallone version.

TROUBLE WITH THE CURVE – Clint Eastwood dumps the chair and goes back to acting.

SEPTEMBER 28

HOTEL TRANSYLVANNIA – Check in at this wonderful animated tale.

LOOPER – Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars with Bruce Willis in this sci-fi action tale involving that most precious time.

OCTOBER 5

FRANKENWEENIE – Tim Burton and animation? I’m there!

TAKEN 2 – Liam Neeson returns to kick major booty in this sequel.

OCTOBER 12

ARGO – Ben Affleck stars and directs this movie. I see Oscars!

OCTOBER 19

ALEX CROSS – Tyler Perry ditches Madea for this action flick. Can he make it as an action star?

KILLING THEM SOFTLY – The Weinstein machine is already lauding this as a contender! Oh yeah, Brad Pitt is in ther too!

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4 – Yes, I’m a fan of this franchise.

OCTOBER 26

CLOUD ATLAS – The Wachowskis return for this intriguing film starring Tom Hanks and Halle Berry.

NOVEMBER 2

WRECK-IT RALPH – John C. Reilly provides the voice of the bad guy in a classic game who really just wants to be a hero. The trailer looks good!

FLIGHT – Denzel Washington stars as an airline pilot who saves a plane from crashing. But did he really help? Robert Zemeckis returns to directing a live-action film after experimenting with those animated films that looked creepy.

NOVEMBER 9

SKYFALL – Get your martinis ready, James Bond aka Daniel Craig returns for his third adventure. I’m curious to see how Sam Mendes will do as an action director.

LINCOLN – I love Daniel Day Lewis and I can’t wait to see him as our beloved 16th president. Steven Spielberg is directing so you know, this will all be emotional with lots of pathos.

NOVEMBER 16

ANNA KARENINA – The buzz is this is a great film! Keira Knightley returns to the loving arms of her “Atonement” director, Joe Wright, for this umpteenth adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s novel. Jude Law is in there too!

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN PART 2 – As if I have to remind you that the final film of the franchise is finally arriving! The big question – will Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson do the promotions together? What is Taylor Lautner thinking about all this drama? Do you even care or you just want to end this series now?

DECEMBER 7

HYDE PARK ON HUDSON – Okay, I can’t wait to see Bill Murray as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt! Bring it on!

DECEMBER 14

LES MISERABLES – Get ready musical fans! Cameron Mackintosh brings his super-successful stage musical to the big screen with help from the Oscar-winning director of “The King’s Speech.” I love this musical, and I’m thrilled to see Hugh Jackman (Jean Valjean), Anne Hathaway (Fantine), Amanda Seyfried (Cossette), Russell Crowe (Javert), Helena Bonham Carter (Madame Thenardier), and Sacha Baron Cohen (Thenardier).

THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY – The prequel to “The Lord of the Rings” will rule the world!

DECEMBER 25

“Django Unchained” – Get ready for a bloody Christmas with help from Quentin Tarantino and Leonardo DiCaprio. Oh yeah, Jonah Hill, Christoph Waltz, and Samuel L. Jackson are in the film too!
