Holiday season means high-profile movies
By Jennifer Baker, Student Correspondent
The holiday season is just around the corner, and I’m full of holiday cheer. I have been checking my gift list, and I believe I have what you want this holiday season.
Back for the fourth installment of J.K. Rowling’s series, Daniel Radcliff is the famous teen wizard in “Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.” In Harry’s latest adventure, he is chosen by the Goblet of Fire to compete in the Triwizard Tournament. Along with other players from different wizardry academies, he must complete three different tasks to win the tournament.
However the rules change once Lord Voldemort appears. Voldemort is not Harry’s only problem. Harry will be dealing with something all teens tackle: the opposite sex. Yes, our little wizard is all grown up and has a crush on a fellow classmate, Cho, played by Katie Leug.
Also watch for things between Ron and Hermione to take off. This wicked adventure is rated PG-13 for fantasy violence and frightening images and comes out Friday, Nov. 18.
Coming out this Christmas is Jennifer Aniston’s comedy “Rumor Has It.” She plays Sarah Huttinger, a confused woman who does not know what she wants out of life. In an attempt to find herself she and her fiancé Jeff, played by Mark Ruffalo, travel to Pasadena to attend her sister’s wedding.
There, Sarah meets Beau Burroughs, Kevin Costner, and discovers a shocking family secret. To her disbelief, Sarah finds out that the 1970’s film “The Graduate” is based on her family with her grandmother, Shirley MacLaine, being Mrs. Robinson.
“Rumor Has It” is rated PG-13 for mature thematic material, sexual content, crude humor and drug references and starts Sunday, Dec. 25.
Jim Carrey’s new comedy will have you taking a closer look at your neighbors in the remake of the 1977 comedy “Fun with Dick and Jane.” Carrey plays Dick Harper, a hard working man trying to provide for his family while living in a high-class neighborhood. When Dick finds out that his company has been involved in some shady business and loses his job, he takes matters in his own hands to get his family out of debt. Now Dick along with his wife Jane, played by Tea Leoni, will turn to a life of crime to keep their luxurious lifestyle. This movie is not yet rated and opens nationwide Wednesday, Dec. 21.
