Out of the Furnace (2013)
When Rodney Baze mysteriously disappears and law enforcement fails to follow through, his older brother, Russell, takes matters into his own hands to find justice.
Director:Scott Cooper |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: It's a good time to be Scott Cooper. The Crazy Heart (2009) filmmaker seems to have a career in front of him that'll enable him to write and direct his own projects at his own speed, and attract top-tier actors whose choices always range from blockbusters to artier fare. Such a seemingly dark thriller as Furnace will always attract media/online attention, though we're curious to see how this one translates in terms of box-office performance.

Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)
A week in the life of a young singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961.
|
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Seems like the Coen Bros. might have another mellow, acoustic cultural phenomenon on their hands with their portrait of Greenwich Village circa 1961. We're anticipating multiple Oscar nominations (and a win for its Screenplay?) and a career boost for the talented Oscar Issac that will surpass the one Michael Stuhlbarg received after A Serious Man (2009).

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)Adventure | Drama | Fantasy
The dwarves, along with Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the Grey, continue their quest to reclaim Erebor, their homeland, from Smaug. Bilbo Baggins is in possession of a mysterious and magical ring.
Director:Peter Jackson |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: The best ways in which to sum up my enthusiasm for the second installment of Peter Jackson's prequel trilogy are: I can't wait for Benedict Cumberbatch as the voice of Smaug ... and ... and ... and I'll be one step closer to taking in the brutal splendor of the Battle of Fives Armies in The Hobbit: There and Back Again (2014).

A Madea Christmas (2013)
Madea dispenses her unique form of holiday spirit on rural town when she's coaxed into helping a friend pay her daughter a surprise visit in the country for Christmas.
Director:Tyler Perry |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: The more Tyler Perry's casts read like a CW pilot circa 1999, the more we're inclined to see his ongoing series of stage-to-screen adaptations.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013)- Comedy
With the 70s behind him, San Diego's top rated newsman, Ron Burgundy, returns to take New York's first 24-hour news channel by storm.
Director:Adam McKay |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: The most quoted movie of the last decade gets its long-awaited sequel just in time for Christmas. Even though they've become major comedy stars in the years since, Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd and Steve Carell are all back to reprise their roles as idiotic, misogynistic, but oddly endearing newsmen. Comedy sequels are notoriously disappointing (I'm looking at you, The Hangover Part II (2011)), and there's almost no chance it lives up to the original movie's legacy. Milk may have been a bad decision, but I'm optimistic that Anchorman 2 isn't. -- Ray Subers

American Hustle (2013)- Crime | Drama
A con man, Irving Rosenfeld, along with his seductive British partner Sydney Prosser is forced to work for a wild FBI agent Richie DiMaso. DiMaso pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and mafia.
Director:David O. Russell |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: In the recent past, David O. Russell's pushy, questionable directing style seemed like a potential career-ender, but he's been on a box-office/Oscar-earning roll, and for his latest project he's mashed together the casts of his two most successful outings (The Fighter (2010) and Silver Linings Playbook (2012)) into a 70s-set true-crime drama with period styling that looks more outrageous than Argo (2012)'s.

Saving Mr. Banks (2013)
Author P. L. Travers reflects on her difficult childhood while meeting with filmmaker Walt Disney during production for the adaptation of her novel, Mary Poppins.
Director:John Lee Hancock |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: John Lee Hancock follows up The Blind Side (2009) with what has to be one of the most bankable releases of the year - a bona fide return to movie stardom for Tom Hanks as Walt Disney. Ditto Emma Thompson and, well, pretty much everyone else in the cast.

|
Walking with Dinosaurs 3D (2013)
See and feel what it was like when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, in a story where an underdog dino triumphs to become a hero for the ages.
|
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Fox has kept a lid on this grand-scale adaptation of the BBC mini-series (and eventual ongoing series) after a breakout debut at the American Film Market in 2010 (an event where any number of projects are announced but never seem to materialize).

|
Her (2013)
A lonely writer develops an unlikely relationship with his newly purchased operating system that's designed to meet his every need.
Director:Spike Jonze |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: It's so cool that Warner Bros. is taking a chance on Spike Jonze's offbeat follow-up to Where the Wild Things Are (2009); it's hard to imagine film executives looking up from their tablets in excitement after being pitched a story about a man who falls in love with an operating system. Starring foot-in-mouth specialist Joaquin Phoenix.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013)
A day-dreamer escapes his anonymous life by disappearing into a world of fantasies filled with heroism, romance and action. When his job along with that of his co-worker are threatened, he takes action in the real world embarking on a global journey that turns into an adventure more extraordinary than anything he could have ever imagined.
Director:Ben Stiller |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: The nicest thing we can say about this remake is: it's the first time we've been curious about a Ben Stiller project since ... Greenberg (2010). And something special had to attract Kristen Wiig to make her first major-release appearance since Bridesmaids (2011), right?

Lone Survivor (2013)
Based on the failed June 28, 2005 mission "Operation Red Wings". Four members of SEAL Team 10 were tasked with the mission to capture or kill notorious Taliban leader Ahmad Shahd.
Director:Peter Berg |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: One of two Oscar hopefuls for Universal Pictures (the other being Rush (2013)) Peter Berg's contemporary wartime picture is apparently one tough sit, with a small team of Navy SEALS ultimately facing down 200-strong Al Qaeda soldiers. Audiences definitely accept Mark Wahlberg in serious-action mode, and this platform release should find momentum throughout the month of January.

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)- Biography | Comedy | Crime | Drama
Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, from his rise to a wealthy stockbroker living the high life to his fall involving crime, corruption and the federal government.
Director:Martin Scorsese |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: We get the feeling that Martin Scorsese will keep working with Leonardo DiCaprio until he helps his leading man secure his first Best Actor Oscar win. Remember how well the contemporary crime genre worked for Scorsese with The Departed (2006), though politics -- widely believed to be his unwillingness to be positioned ahead of his co-stars -- kept DiCaprio out of the Oscar hunt that year. But this is a leading role; the fine supporting cast exists to provide all the necessary context and shading to flesh out this real-life story based on former broker Jordan Belfort's best-selling memoir.

August: Osage County (2013)
A look at the lives of the strong-willed women of the Weston family, whose paths have diverged until a family crisis brings them back to the Oklahoma house they grew up in, and to the dysfunctional woman who raised them.
Director:John Wells |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Meryl Streep is back after a year off from the Oscar race with a central role in the film adaptation of Tracy Letts's Pulitzer Prize-winning play. With Letts translating his own work to the screen, we have great faith in second go-round as director (of course, he's helmed episodes of "Shameless", too). The only question mark: This is a Weinstein Company release, and since the studio invested in a clutch of year-end awards candidates, which one will emerge as their frontrunner? Each year, at least one of their gems is cast aside.

47 Ronin (2013)
A band of samurai set out to avenge the death and dishonor of their master at the hands of a ruthless shogun.
Director:Carl Rinsch |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Keanu Reeves playing a samurai is the kind of casting that put us in a curious mood, but there's a larger story to focus on here: Carl Rinsch's first outing as director has sparked rumors and reports of a swollen production budget (somewhere around the $200 million mark) and an unhappy studio (Universal) who pulled an executive takeover in the editing suite. Add in an ever-shifting release date (originally planned for November 2012) and it's easy to see why this project has the biggest question mark hovering over it.

Grudge Match (2013)
A pair of aging boxing rivals are coaxed out of retirement to fight one final bout -- 30 years after their last match.
Director:Peter Segal |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: Proof that Robert De Niro might just do anything at this stage of his career is he willingness to step into the ring against Sylvester Stallone to satirize the genre that brought both men the most legitimate acclaim of their respective careers. But some noteworthy writers have worked on this script, so hopefully the dialogue and scenarios won't be wasted on the entire cast. Can we hope for a foul-mouthed Kim Basinger?
