Holiday Movie Preview 2012!

The weather outside may be frightful, but the multiplex is so delightful. That's right, it's winter movie season, the most wonderful time of the year for moviegoers (besides summer, of course). We at Rotten Tomatoes have made a list, and checked it twice, and the result is the Holiday Movie Preview, a compendium of the season's biggest flicks.

From hotly-anticipated franchises (Skyfall, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2) to new work from acclaimed directors (including Quentin Tarantino, Steven Spielberg, and Kathryn Bigelow), we've got a stocking full of movies for everyone on your list. So light up the Yule log, pour yourself a glass of eggnog, and take a look through RT's Holiday Movie Preview -- your guide to the movies everyone will be talking about!

Hahahaha...I'm sorry, but when I talk about *ANYTHING* Twilight, "passionate" is not the phrase that comes to mind!

The best part of the season is that Twilight will finally be over! Holy crap yes! Thought it would never freakin' end! And Wreck it Ralph might be good too.

I think you mixed up Skyfall with Anna Kerenina. The text looks wrong.

Ah, The Hobbit. I remember how the original LOTR Trilogy inspired me and fueled my imagination as a child all those years ago. I sincerely hope this movie can do the same to the cynical bastard I have become.

As for what I plan to see in the theater:

Flight
Skyfall
Lincoln
Life of Pi
Silver Linings Playbook
Hitchcock
Killing Them Softly (especially excited, as it should've been out by now)
Hyde Park on the Hudson
The Hobbit
Django Unchained
And a special consideration for "The Impossible" and "Promised Land", although I'm not the biggest Van Sant fan.

Others: Still have "Holy Motors" to see. "Rust and Bone", "West of Memphis", and still waiting on the word for release dates for Malick' "To the Wonder", Wong Kar Wei's "Grandmasters", Jeff Nichols' "Mud", and Park Chan-wook's "Stoker".

Other than the Hobbit, it's a vast wasteland that I wouldn't walk across the street to see.

Ummmmmm... The Skyfall section makes no sense. That's for Anna Karenina. However, I will say that my initial thought was something along the lines of, "did they actually take a Tolstoy novel and adapt it to the Bond Universe?" Then my head exploded.
