San Diego legend Ron Burgundy and his bunch of socially malfunctioning news team Champ (David Koechner), Brian (Paul Rudd) and Brick (Steve Carrell) head to New York’s first 24 hour news station. If the trailers are any indication – this is going to be even more fun than the first Burgundy outing.
47 Ronin

![He is the one (of 47)](http://thebookthefilmthetshirt.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/47-ronin-150x150.jpg)
Keanu Reeves is back to his ass kicking best in this action packed ancient adventure. Reeves plays a ronin, recruited along with 46 others to defend a land against a powerful warlord.
All Is Lost
Released: Boxing Day
![Redford needs a bigger boat](http://thebookthefilmthetshirt.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/all-is-lost-150x150.jpg)
Redford, the sea, a storm and very little dialogue. A lone sailor struggles against the elements as he struggles to cross the Indian Ocean. Redford’s screen presence should make for a riveting watch.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Released: Boxing Day
![Stiller goes on an adventure](http://thebookthefilmthetshirt.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/secret-life-of-walter-mitty-150x150.jpg)
In his secret life, Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller) dreams big. When not daydreaming his life is the opposite of his alter ego, timid and shy. When real life finally presents him with a challenge he leaps into a global adventure bigger than he ever dreamed of.
I believe Anchorman 2 and Secret life of Walter Mitty were the best 2 movies in that list. Thanks for sharing!
