My Week With Marilyn
The year may be drawing to a close but there are a whole host of exciting movies to catch before 2011 comes to an end.
So what will you be watching this November? Well here at FemaleFirst takes a look at some of the best films that will be hitting the big screen over the next few weeks.
In Time
Justin Timberlake has made a bit of a name for himself in comedy this year but he turns his hand to sci-fi this week with Andrew Niccol's new movie In Time.
The movie sees Timberlake turn action hero as he stars alongside Amanda Seyfried and Cillian Murphy.
In a future where people stop aging at 25, but are engineered to live only one more year, having the means to buy your way out of the situation is a shot at immortal youth.
Here, Will Salas finds himself accused of murder and on the run with a hostage - a connection that becomes an important part of the way against the system.
In Time is out now.
Machine Gun Preacher
It's been a while since we have seen the lovely Gerard Butler on the big screen but he has left behind the awful rom-coms for a meatier role.
The film sees him team up with director Marc Forster as they bring the story of Sam Childers to the big screen.
Childers turns his back on his self destructive ways and travels to the Sudan as a missionary to help with the relief effort.
There, he witnesses the atrocities that the locals endure at the hands of the vicious Lord’s Resistance Army.
Machine Gun Preacher is released 2nd November.
The Awakening
No month can go by without a good horror movie and November isn't going to miss out on chills and screams as The Awakening is set to hit the big screen.
In post-World War I England in 1921, an author and paranormal sceptic (Rebecca Hall) is invited to a countryside boarding school by the head master (Dominic West) to investigate rumours of an apparent haunting.
But just when she thinks she has debunked the ghost theory, she has a chilling encounter which makes her question all her rational beliefs.
The Awakening is released 11th November.
Arthur Christmas
The great thing about this time of year is the festive movies that we will be treated to - and Arthur Christmas is the first.
I have to admit that I am quite looking forward to this as it looks a lot of fun and I do enjoy getting in the festive spirit.
Aardman Animations has teamed up with Sony Pictures Animation for this festive treat as James McAvoy, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Laurie and Bill Nighy all lend their voices.
The movie at last reveals the incredible, never-before seen answer to every child's question: 'So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night?'
The answer: Santa's exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole.
But at the heart of the film is a story with the ingredients of a Christmas classic - a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero, Arthur, with an urgent mission that must be completed before Christmas morning dawns.
Arthur Christmas is released 11th November.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1
There may be a whole host of great movies on the horizon this month but Breaking Dawn - Part 1 is the only one everyone is talking about.
Yes the first instalment of the final chapter is almost upon us a marital bliss for Edward and Bella doesn't last long.
Bella and Edward, plus those they love, must deal with the chain of consequences brought on by a marriage, honeymoon, and the tumultuous birth of a child... which brings an unforeseen and shocking development for Jacob Black?
Breaking Dawn - Part 1 looks set to be one of the most successful movies of the year - brace yourself for the hysteria!!
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 is released 18th November.
My Week With Marilyn
I have always been a fan of Michelle Williams and I am looking forward to her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in My Week With Marilyn.
The Academy always love a biopic picture and I smell the opportunity for a possible Oscar nomination for the actress.
In the early summer of 1956, 23 year-old Colin Clark, just down from Oxford and determined to make his way in the film business, worked as a lowly assistant on the set of ‘The Prince and the Showgirl’, the film that famously united Sir Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe, who was also on honeymoon with her new husband, the playwright Arthur Miller.
Nearly 40 years on, his diary account ‘The Prince, the Showgirl and Me’ was published, but one week was missing and this was published some years later as ‘My Week with Marilyn’ - this is the story of that week.
My Week With Marilyn is released 25th November.
