5+ Films To Look Forward To In January 2014

This one will include slightly more than 5 films what with it being award season and all...

1) Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom

The story of the great Nelson Mandela with incredible performances from all involved.

2) Her

A comedy about a man who falls in love with an operating system. It sounds strange but the story is oddly moving and relevant.

3) The Wolf Of Wall Street

This new Scorsese and DiCaprio film examines greed and corruption within the New York Stock Exchange.

4) August: Osage County

Based on a Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning play by Tracy Letts, this star studded cast brilliantly portrays this incredibly dysfunctional family.

5) 12 Years A Slave

This film seems to be a sure bet for the awards this season, with Chiwotel Ejiofor giving the performance of a lifetime.

6) Inside Llewyn Davis

It's a Coen brothers film so it's going to be good.

7) Out Of The Furnace

Christian Bale plays a soldier who has returned from Iraq only to become part of the criminal underworld.

8) The Book Thief 

Based on the critically acclaimed book, this follows a little girl in Nazi Germany and the courage shown by her and her family.

So a few more films than usual but they all look pretty good. Anyway, have a happy and safe new year, and see you in 2014!!
