What Films Are Out This Christmas?

Much as I hate to admit it, this year's Christmas movie line-up pales in comparison to Sherlock Holmes, Invictus, New Moon and a little flick called Avatar all being on the big screen last Winter. So, is there any reason to venture out into the cold once more (albeit only until you reach the cinema) after you've seen Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (even if you're considering not, I'd recommend it simply 'cause there ain't much else to come in 2010- my review tomorrow night!)? Turns out there might be; The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader hits theatres on December 10th, telling the tale of Edward and Lucy Pensieve as they unwillingly venture back to Narnia to aid Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) in a quest to find the isle of Aslan (have they really gone and lost the famed lion again?), and while the prequel named after the aforementioned Prince sucked (2/5) this third film looks to have potential. Meanwhile, those wanting a few more thrills can see Unstoppable this week. Starring Denzel Washington and based on a true story, the flick focuses on a train sent out of control, set to crash into unsuspecting kids' carriages in just hours, with only two men standing a hope of 'stopping' it. Meet The Parents: Little Fockers is also out very soon, so if you're a fan of Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro or Jaws (wait and see) then it might be worth a watch. The big ones to look out for, however, are coming on Boxing Day in Tron: Legacy and Gulliver's Travels, the former a sequel to Disney's classic sci-fi starring Olivia Wilde and the latter an adaptation of the great novel featuring Jack Black, James Corden, Billy Connelly and Catherine Tate. Hope for good things in both of these, but weep somewhat for the lack of another Avatar...
