Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly include any other good-looking movies coming out these holidays than I did in Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3, I found even more movies of interest.

And I proudly present them to you in what I’d like to call Anthony’s Holiday Movie Picks – Part 4:

Everybody's Fine

Everybody's Fine

Everybody’s Fine

Starring: Robert DeNiro, Kate Beckinsale, Drew Barrymore, Sam Rockwell | Premieres: December 4, 2009

Robert DeNiro plays a father who seeks to reconnect with his grown children after the death of his

PROS: It’s like Meet the Fockers with a an actual moral to the story and without Ben Stiller.

CONS: If the holidays don’t bring back great family memories, than this film is not for you.

Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes

Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams | Premieres: December 25, 2009

A mystery-adventure film about the detective who always seemed to rely a little too heavily on his assistant Watson. This version has a good bit of action thrown in as well.

PROS: Downey Jr. as Sherlock and Jude Law as Watson

CONS: Hard to improve upon the original story of Sherlock Holmes

Invictus

Invictus

Invictus

Starring: Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon | Premieres: December 11, 2009

Based on a true story, this movie is the story of how South African president Nelson Mandela and the captain of the country’s rugby team came together to unite the country after apartheid. Directed by Clint Eastwood.

PROS: Getting to see Morgan Freeman in the role you know he was meant to play.

CONS: Matt Damon trying to make us believe his South African accent.

Imaginarium

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Starring: Heath Ledger, Christopher Plummer, Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell | Premieres: December 25, 2009

A fantastical adventure starring Heath Ledger in his final starring performance about a traveling theater troupe who must deal with the consequences of making a deal with the devil.

PROS: Heath Ledger, Think Big Fish fantasy but with a point

CONS: Hard to believe Heath Ledger can make a bigger impression than his Joker role in Dark Knight

==============================================================

The universe will always find a way

“If two points are destined to touch, the universe will always find a way to make the connection. Even when all hope seems lost, certain ties cannot be broken. They define who we are — and who we can become. Across space, across time, even across paths we cannot predict.” Great quote from Touch.

Celebrity Apprentice Season 5 premieres February 19

Celebrity Apprentice returns with eighteen celebrities for Season 5 on NBC February 19.

Plus there’s Donald Trump, who — no matter what you [...]

Mets legendary catcher Gary Carter dies

Former Mets catcher and Hall-of-Famer Gary “The Kid” Carter died today from brain cancer at the age of 57. As a lifelong Mets fan, Gary Carter was a legend. If he wasn’t the Mets catcher in 1986, it’s likely the Mets wouldn’t have won the World Series. Even in the years before and after the ’86 [...]
