| Mary J Blige in Black Nativity |
November is chock full of family, friends, holiday plans, and movies to see. While you’re deciding on which recipe you will use for the stuffing or if three pumpkin pies are enough, take a break and head to the movie theaters which are overstuffed (pun intended) with amazing autumn fare–About Time, Last Vegas, Free Birds, The Book Thief, Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Frozen, Mr. Nobody, Black Nativity, Nebraska, and Old Boy, are just a few that have caught my eye. You certainly don’t want to cram all these in right before awards season begins. So, whether you choose to check out that indie you heard so much about or the latest big studio release, don’t forget to click on the movie title to view the trailer. We want to make sure you know what you are getting into before you head to the theater.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (IMAX)
 |
| The Hunger Games: Catching Fire |
75th Annual Hunger Games puts previous victors back in the arena. There is clearly a bigger budget on display this time around with more of the Capitol to see, some impressive effects shots, a very menacing Donald Sutherland, and just a tease of the action that kicks off the new games themselves.
