This past December, one film captivated moviegoers, transporting them back to 1970's New York — a time of questionable fashion choices (and questionable perms) — and igniting the box office with sex, scandal and Oscar-worthy performances. That film — was American Hustle. But who needs Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence when your movie has a bottle-fed shark, a were-hyena, Baxter the dog and the ghost of Stonewall Jackson? There's only one film that dares to be that ridiculous, that audacious and that hilarious — and that's Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.
It's been a week and a half since I last posted anything, but it feels like forever. Rest assured, I'm working on a ton of reviews for December -- it just happens that this month's films are releasing in the latter half of the month. Here's the breakdown of what's coming this month: On December 18th, look for my review of Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. On December 20th, I'll be publishing my reviews for David O. Russell's American Hustle, the Coen Brothers' Inside Llewyn Davis and Disney's Saving Mr. Banks. On December 25th, check back for my reviews of August: Osage County, the timely Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom and the latest Martin Scorsese/Leonardo DiCaprio collaboration, The Wolf of Wall Street. Of course, I still plan on publishing my monthly "In Reviews" segment for November (ideally before mid-month). Just have to find some time to do so! And apologies for not being able to publish a review of Disney's Frozen last month, as promised; scheduling conflicts prevented that one from happening. I'm trying to squeeze in at least one more film into the above schedule as well -- check back soon for any updates!
