15 Films to See in December
The force is strong with this month: The final weeks of 2015 could bring some of the year's best movies. At the very least, December will feature new releases from directors such as David O. Russell, Quentin Tarantino, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Ron Howard, Spike Lee, Michael Moore, and Charlie Kaufman.
Oh, and there's a little something called The Force Awakens, though if you are hearing about it from us for the very first time, congratulations on awakening from your coma.

Inspired by true events and based on the novel by Michael Punke, Alejandro G. Iñárritu's latest follows explorer Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) as he’s attacked by a bear, left for dead, and betrayed by his confidant John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). Buzz (though not official reviews, which are still embargoed) from an early screening has been mostly positive, with DiCaprio and Iñárritu’s Birdman cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki receiving most of the praise.
