NOVEMBER

“127 Hours” (Nov. 5) – The “Slumdog Millionaire” team of scriptwriter Simon Beaufoy and director Danny Boyle returns for this true-life tale starring James Franco as Aron Ralston, the mountain climber who resorts to cutting his lower right arm after being trapped under a boulder.



“Due Date” (Nov. 5) – “The Hangover’s” Todd Phillips directs this road trip comedy starring Robert Downey Jr. as a father-to-be who is forced to hitch a ride with Zach Galifianakis to make it to his child’s birth on time.



“Fair Game” (Nov. 5) – Naomi Watts and Sean Penn stars in this political thriller about CIA agent Valerie Plame.



“Megamind” (Nov. 5) – Brad Pitt and Will Ferrell duke it out in this animated adventure about superheroes and super-villains.



“Morning Glory” (Nov. 12) – The world of morning show television programs is explored by Roger Michell (“Notting Hill”) with help from Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton, Jeff Goldblum, and Rachel McAdams.

“Unstoppable” (Nov. 12) – Denzel Washington returns with longtime collaborator, director Tony Scott (“Déjà vu,” “Man on Fire,” “Taking of Pelham 1 2 3”), in this action drama about an unmanned freight train carrying combustible liquids.



“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1” (Nov. 19) – I love this series and this final novel, so I’m looking forward to seeing our favorite boy wizard’s farewell. It’s a good thing Warner Bros. decided to divide this film into two, so we have until next summer to lament the last movie featuring the Boy Who Lived.

“The Next Three Days” (Nov. 19) – Oscar-winner Paul Haggis (“Crash”) directs Liam Neeson and Russell Crowe in this crime drama.



“Burlesque” (Nov. 24) – Christina Aguilera, Cher, Stanely Tucci, and Kristen Bell sing the blues in this musical drama about a burlesque club. This could either be very smart, or super-cheesy.



“Tangled” (Nov. 24) – Disney tries to update Rapunzel (Mandy Moore) for this generation.



DECEMBER

“Black Swan” (Dec. 1) – “The Wrestler” director, Darren Aronofsky, helms Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, and Winona Ryder in this supernatural drama set in the world of New York ballet.



“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” (Dec. 10) – Disney cut ties but 20th Century Fox wisely picked up this franchise about the return to the magical world known as Narnia.



“The Fighter” (Dec. 10) – Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale duke it out in this boxing drama from director David O. Russell (“I Heart Huckabees”).

“How Do You Know” (Dec. 17) – James L. Brooks directs Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon in this romantic dramedy. Brooks has a great Oscar track record having written and directed “As Good As It Gets,” “Broadcast News,” and “Terms of Endearment.”

“Tron: Legacy” (Dec. 17) – The sight of Jeff Bridges in his “Tron” getup is enough for me to patiently wait for this movie.



“Country Strong” (Dec. 22) – Gwyneth Paltrow stars as a fallen country star in this drama from director Shana Feste.

“Gulliver’s Travels” (Dec. 22) – Another adaptation of the Jonathan Swift classic but this one comes with a comedic twist with Jack Black starring as Lemuel Gulliver.



“Little Fockers” (Dec. 22) – This third installment of the “Meet the Parents” franchise brings back Robert DeNiro, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Dustin Hoffman, and Barbra Streisand.

“Somewhere” (Dec. 22) – The Oscar-nominated Sofia Coppola (“Lost in Translation”) directs this drama about a hard-living Hollywood actor who is forced to re-examine his life by his 11-year-old daughter (Elle Fanning).

“True Grit” (Dec. 25) – The Coen brothers reteam with their Dude, Jeff Bridges, in this adaptation of Charles Portis’ novel. The filmmakers are adamant to point out that this is not a sloppy remake of the 1969 John Wayne movie that won the actor his first Oscar.
