Baseball, blood, bios on silver screen
Brad Pitt reinvents baseball, while Kristen Stewart acquires a taste for blood. George Clooney runs for president, while Meryl Streep impersonates Margaret Thatcher. Leonardo DiCaprio puts America under surveillance, while Robert Downey Jr. faces a criminal mastermind.
Variety abounds in Hollywood's fall and holiday seasons as studios pack the schedule with Oscar hopefuls, action flicks, comedy and music-themed tales, as well as a family lineup that brings the return of the Muppets, dancing penguins, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and Puss in Boots.

TWILIGHT
Kristen Stewart reunites with vampire lover Robert Pattinson and werewolf pal Taylor Lautner in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1," the next-to-last chapter in their supernatural saga.
Split into two movies, the final book in Stephenie Meyer's series holds major life changes for Stewart's Bella, which we won't divulge here for sake of the handful of fans who haven't read it. For those who have, director Bill Condon says the cliffhanger that concludes Part 1 is a no-brainer.
