Holiday Movie Releases

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UC Riverside chapter.

The spooks and scares just wrapped up this past Thursday as Halloween 2013 came to a close. But that just means that one of the best times of the year is right around the corner
. HOLIDAY MOVIE RELEASES (well besides Christmas of course). Below is a list of some great movies coming soon to a theater near you!

Thor: The Dark World

The sequel to the hit blockbuster, Thor: The Dark World, reunites it original cast as Loki is up to no good once again. It’s sure to be a good one with this production being directed by Alan Tyler, the man behind the HBO Television Show “Game of Thrones”. The film is due out November 8. (Lucky for UCR students, UCR’s ASPB will be hosting a free film premiere for Thor: The Dark World so don’t miss out!)

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

There is so much buzz built around this sequel that it’s sure to be a big hit at the box office opening weekend. Even if you haven’t read the books, you will still have a hard time deciding if you are Team Peeta or Team Gale. The film is to be released. November 22. (ASPB will also be hosting a free premiere event for this film, so be on the lookout for more info).

Frozen

From the creators of  Tangle and Wreck-it-Ralph, comes a tale of a girl named Anna who journeys through ‘frozen’ conditions as she searches for her sister Elsa, whose powers have left the kingdom in an eternal winter. Starring the vocal talents of Kristen Bell, Josh Gad, Idina Menzel and Alan Tudyk, Frozen will be a great film to watch for all ages. Frozen will be released November 29.

 

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Due out December 13, the second installment of Peter Jackson’s prequel trilogy continues Bilbo Baggins journey to get his gold back from Smaug the dragon. Like the productions previoius to The Hobbit films, it brings its audiences into world like any other filled with action and adventure.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

The long overdue sequel brings back some of the biggest names in comedy under one newsroom. This time Ron Burgundy takes on the first 24-hour news channel in New York City. Although sequels of big comedies tend to disappoint, with a cast like Will Ferrell, Christina Applegate, Paul Rudd, and Steve Carrell, I doubt this will be the case. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues is set to be released December 20th.
