Gangster Squad - This one was supposed to be released in September, but had the date delayed due to the Batman shooting. Starring Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, and Sean Penn, it's set in the 1940s and 50s and is about gangsters and cops. I want to see this so badly.
Quartet - Sadly this one's only getting a limited release, but it still looks funny. Dustin Hoffman's directoral debut, it's about a group of opera singers in a retirement home preparing for their annual concert. Oh, and it stars Maggie Smith, Billy Connolly, and Michael Gambon.
Struck by Lightning - Another limited release, but an important one at that. Struck by Lightning is written by and stars Glee's Chris Colfer, and is about a guy who is struck and killed by lightning and his life before it. A friend of mine has read the book and says it's amazing.
Frankenweenie - The latest adaptation of Frankenstein this one follows a young boy, Victor, as he reanimates his beloved dog, Sparky. It was cute, a definite return to some of the more classic Tim Burton films.
Dredd - The newest take on the Judge Dredd comics, this one received better ratings than the first. I haven't seen it yet, but I do really want to.
House at the End of the Street - The best thing that this horror film has going for it is Jennifer Lawrence. She plays a girl who's just moved to a new town and discovered that there was a murder in the house next door to hers. Horror ensues.
Game Change - This TV movie has a lot of big names attached to it - including Ed Harris, Julianne Moore, and Woody Harrelson - and follows John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, with a heavy focus on his running mate, Sarah Palin.
Struck by Lightning - Speaking of the book, let's just outright recommend it here. Check out the book, also written by Chris Colfer. Because why wouldn't you want to read about a guy who was struck by lightning? It's a great read!
