MOVIES: This one's no mystery.

Well Sherlock Holmes pretty much dominated at the box office this weekend. I guess tons of people wanted to see the trailer for The Dark Knight Rises beforehand huh? Although the numbers were better than the previous couple of weekends, it still looks like people aren't forking over the $15 it takes to see a movie this time of year. Sherlock took first place with $40 million followed by Chipwrecked which only pulled $23.5 million. Mission Impossible came in third (I couldn't see it last night as the show sold out) with $13 million and New Year's Eve took fourth place with $7.4 million. The Sitter rounded out the top five with only $4.4 million. I still want to see Mission Impossible and also Tintin which comes out on Wednesday (for The Hobbit trailer). What will you see over this Christmas season?

MOVIES: Three movies you NEED to see this week!

But not for the movies themselves. In the next week alone there are three movies coming out, 2 which came out today, that have trailers before them that will be worth the price of admission. So here they are.

1. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (In select IMAX theaters)
Why?: This one is number one on my list because not only will you get to see Mission Impossible which currently sits at a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, but because you'll get to see a six freaking minute long prologue to The Dark Knight Rises. From what I've heard so far the prologue is pretty sweet but apparently it's almost impossible to understand what Bane is saying with the combination of his heavy accent and Darth Vader mask. At least it's still Batman stuff. But here's the catch, the prologue is only showing in IMAX theaters and not even in all IMAX theaters.

2. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
Why? This one is a little less important and maybe not quite as worth it as the first one. Sherlock doesn't interest me too much and the movie is getting decent reviews so far, but apparently there's a trailer for The Dark Knight Rises beforehand. I haven't heard any news about the trailer since everyone is talking about the prologue before MI. It still might be worth checking out if you want to see it on the big screen, but expect it on Youtube very soon anyways.

3. The Adventures of Tintin
Why? Well firstly because for some reason this movie has managed to peak my interest over the past couple of weeks. The action looks fun and early reviews peg it as a lighthearted, Indiana Jones type adventure. The story of Tintin is apparently insanely popular over in Europe and it's somewhat of a passion project for Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson. But the real reason to see it? Our first trailer for The Hobbit will be showing before Tintin!!! YES! After years of development, directors jumping in and dropping out, countless do-overs on the script and a billion other problems, The Hobbit is finally happening! As excited as I am for The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers and much more that comes out next year, nothing has me tingling with exitement quite like The Hobbit. It's one of my favorite books of all time and I just can't wait to get lost in Middle Earth once more. Now it's likely that this trailer won't show much of anything but just to see a Hobbit walking around on the big screen again will make me scream like a little girl who just touched Tyler Latner. So yes, I am going to see Tintin and I suggest you do the same!

MOVIES: Even more reason to see the new Sherlock Holmes!

As you may recall, I posted the other week that a new trailer for The Dark Knight Rises will air before the new Sherlock Holmes movie when it hits theaters on December 16th. Well apparently we may get another trailer for a highly anticipated movie of 2012. Jeff Sneider, a reporter for Variety posted on his twitter that a trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is set to screen before Sherlock Holmes 2. I will now definitely be seeing the new Sherlock movie but I honestly don't really care about the film itself. I might just walk out after the credits...we'll see.

MOVIES: I'm now interested in the new Sherlock Holmes movie.

Why? Not because I care in the slightest about Sherlock Holmes but because I care deeply about The Dark Knight Rises. It is rumored that perhaps a second trailer for TDKR will air in front of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows when it hits theaters on December 16th. Also, if you see Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol in IMAX on a 70mm screen then you will get a substantial prologue to TDKR so I would also highly recommend checking that out. This is now two movies I'll be going to see for the sole purpose of seeing Dark Knight Rises stuff.
