November 2012 Preview!

Here is a quick list of films I plan to see in November:

Flight (November 2, 2012)
Denzel Washington is an alcoholic pilot who saves a commercial airliner from crashing by flipping the plane upside down. Also starring John Goodman, Don Cheadle, Bruce Greenwood, and Melissa Leo. Directed by Robert Zemekis of Back to the Future, Cast Away, and Forrest Gump fame.

This Must Be the Place (November 2, 2012)
Sean Penn sure does like to play a diverse array of roles. This time he is a former rockstar (with crazy hair) who sets out to avenge his father's death by finding the Nazi criminal who persecuted him. The film will definitely be quirky, though I'm most intrigued by Penn's and co-star Frances McDormand's performances and the film's visual style.

Lincoln (November 9, 2012)
If Daniel Day-Lewis' rendition of the beloved president doesn't give you chills, then you must be a republican. Or heartless. Added bonus: JGL. Less exciting: another cookie-cutter score by Williams. (Don't send me hate mail about that one...he has written some of the most beautiful film scores of all time, but lately his scores have sounded uninspired and repetitive.)

Skyfall (November 9, 2012)
Bond. Daniel Craig. Judi Dench. Ralph Fiennes. Sam Mendes. *awesomegasm*

Life of Pi (November 21, 2012)
The son of a zookeeper struggles to survive on a lifeboat with a tiger after the ship he was traveling on sinks in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. From the trailers, Ang Lee's first 3D film looks visually breathtaking and equally emotional.

Rust and Bone (November 23, 2012)
Here's more proof that Marion Cotillard is as good of an actress as she is beautiful, as if anyone needed it. Cotillard stars as a killer whale trainer who looses her legs in a tragic accident. The film was well received at Cannes, especially Cotillard's performance, though it didn't pick up any awards there.

Hitchcock (November 23, 2012)
Hopkins steps into the role (and the face prosthetic) so perfectly that you might forget that you're not watching the real Hitchcock. And you can never go wrong with leading ladies Helen Mirren and ScarJo.

What November films are you looking forward to the most? Did I forget about anything or include something I shouldn't have? Share your thoughts below!
