Ah, the holiday season. A time for family, peace, goodwill, and some of the best that Hollywood has to offer. From the hotly-anticipated (Avatar, The Twilight Saga: New Moon) to the family-friendly (The Princess and the Frog); from Oscar contenders (Invictus) to wild spectacles (2012), the holiday movie season has something for everyone. We at RT have prepared a handy guide of what will be invading the multiplex as the leaves turn, so read on for scoop on the season's slate, which includes new flicks from directors like James Cameron Peter Jackson, Clint Eastwood, and Wes Anderson, and stars like Robert Downey Jr., George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Robert DeNiro, and Penelope Cruz.
