It's been a while since The Movie Spot has done this, and we certainly want to get back on track with letting you know what movies are coming out and what you may want to see or miss within the months. There is certainly a lot going on this month, both good and bad. Let's take a look:

A lot of great stuff coming out this month, lots of cant miss movies with some questionable watches along the way.

In the first week, you've got two nice comedies coming out, on different sides of comedy really. The next chapter in the Harold and Kumar series is coming and I expect it to be raunchier than ever with the 3D release. It looks like it's shot in 3D so that may be a huge plus for it. One movie I certainly won't miss. Also, Tower Heist comes out bolstering a cast of big time actors like Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Casey Affleck and Matthew Broderick. Don't expect it to be as funny as Harold and Kumar but it should still be a worth a look.

Every year there is a movie based around Greek mythology and it usually ends up being pretty good and Immortals is on that very same track. Future Superman, Henry Cavill is starring so it may be something to watch if you're into either Greek mythology or the future of the Superman franchise. Another Adam Sandler film where he casts his friends in roles and provides lackluster stories is on the way. Won't lie when I say that the trailer got some chuckles out of me, but I may end up seeing this for free...or HBO in a year.

Many teenage girls are awaiting November 18th, as a crucial (but unfortunately not final) part to the Twilight series coming. The trailer suggests that a lot happens. I really wouldn't know the whole story of what does happen, but i'm sure Twilight fans will patch that story up for me. Another somewhat useless movie in this month, Happy Feet Two. Sure, Happy Feet was a hit, and it was inevitable that a sequel was coming (though I thought maybe a lot sooner). Nonetheless, kids and some adults will enjoy the cash cow that is Happy Feet Two.

The last week brings two events i've been waiting all year for. Thanksgiving and The Muppets movie. I wouldn't want a Muppets movie if it was half assed but this looks to be phenomenal. Jason Segal and Amy Adams are two great actors, and the list of cameos involved should really enhance the film. Also, it's the damn Muppets!
