Wondering what movies are coming out to theaters this Friday December 5 2008? Here is a list with our recommendations (which you can take or leave, it’s up to you).

DEFINITELY WATCH AT THE MOVIES

FROST/NIXON

This movie is part of our top 20 Christmas Movies of 2008 and should be really intense based on the trailer.

Synopsis: Oscar®-winning director Ron Howard brings to the screen writer Peter Morgan’s electrifying battle between Richard Nixon, the disgraced president with a legacy to save, and David Frost, a jet-setting television personality with a name to make, in the untold story of the historic encounter that changed both: Frost/Nixon. Reprising their roles from Morgan’s stageplay are Frank Langella, who won a Tony for his portrayal of Nixon, and Michael Sheen, who fully inhabited the part of Frost onstage in London and New York.

DEFINETELY RENT

HUNGER

This is seems to be a really interesting story that deserves a look.

Synopsis: Hunger follows life in the Maze Prison, Northern Ireland with an interpretation of the highly emotive events surrounding the 1981 IRA Hunger Strike, led by Bobby Sands. With an epic eye for detail, the film provides a timely exploration of what happens when body and mind are pushed to the uttermost limit.

DEFINITELY WATCH ON TV

CADILLAC RECORDS

Because of Beyonce’s presence in the movie, I have downgraded the movie to a TV watching status. No reason you should spend any money on this.

Synopsis: In this tale of sex, violence, race, and rock and roll in 1950s Chicago, “Cadillac Records” follows the exciting but turbulent lives of some of America’s musical legends, including Muddy Waters, Leonard Chess, Little Walter, Howlin’ Wolf, Etta James and Chuck Berry.

HELL WILL FREEZE FIRST

PUNISHER: WAR ZONE

Ok, this looks stupid. They can’t seem to get the Punisher series right.

Synopsis:After hunting down and killing hundreds of violent criminals, Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, faces his most deadly foe yet: Jigsaw.
