The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Releases Dec. 14
A prequel to the “Lord of the Rings” series, The Hobbit appears to have a lighter, more jovial tone than the “Rings” trilogy. However, since it is helmed by “Rings” director Peter Jackson, there shouldn’t be much reason for concern. The final film in that trilogy won 12 Oscars, so the Hobbit is obviously in good hands.

Zero Dark Thirty. Releases Dec. 19
Chronicling the manhunt for Osama Bin Laden, “Zero Dark Thirty” looks to be one of the more thrilling movies of the year. This is, in part, because of director Kathryn Bigelow, whose last feature, “The Hurt Locker”, racked up plenty of major awards in 2008. The film promises to be politically impartial, as the president is reportedly not in the movie at all. Regardless, this promises to be a good one.

Whatever the case, “Les Misérables” looks to be among the most emotionally resonating films of the year.
