This weekend proves to be a little more hopeful that last. With a little more horror leading up to Halloween, some childhood memories, and some little independent delights, this weekend of October 16, 2009 is a lot more promising.

This weekend is pretty bleak in terms of new movies. This “weakend” of October 9, 2009 does not offer anything on your plate for a healthy dose of movies, but there are slim pickin’s. Might as well go see Zombieland again………

Box Office Battlefield: Halloween 2, Taking Woodstock, and The Final Destination
It’s Friday again and you know what that means……Movies Movies Movies…… Seems like October has come early with the horror. For the weekend of August 28, 2009, here is what’s coming out:
Halloween II (Scout Taylor-Compton, Tyler Mane, Malcolm McDowell) Rob Zombie’s reinvention of a horror classic. Not only is this his sequel to his first remake of the original Halloween, but this is Zombie’s own story. Michael Myers is back and is wanting his mother’s love. Laurie Strode is having trouble coming to terms with being of Myers blood. What kind of unholy family reunion will take place this weekend. See this film.
The Final Destination (Nick Zano, Krista Allen, Andrew Fiscella) Yet another Destination film to add to the franchise. This one is based off a horrible accident at a race track that some kid sees the end result early and escapes death. Of course, like all the others, death comes back for revenge. This one looks better than the third, but not as good as the first two. This one is in 3-D, which might be worth the trip, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Skip it.
Taking Woodstock (Demetri Martin, Emile Hirsch, Eugene Levy) This little indie film looks interesting. It could be either a flop or a decent flick. I’d have to say it’s nothing too special, but could be a change from all the horror this weekend. This is basically the story of how the original Woodstock was formed and the chaos that ensued. I have no idea how historically accurate it is, but doesn’t look like it could be too far off. See it/Rent it.
Box Office Battlefield: ‘Post Grad’ and ‘Inglorious Basterds’
Here is your weekend update with all the few new movies coming to theaters for the weekend of August 21, 2009:
Inglorious Basterds (Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger, Eli Roth) This is a must see. Who wouldn’t want to see Brad Pitt and a bunch of angry Jewish Americans invade Nazi France and whoop some ass? This is an action packed dialogue stricken Tarantino movie. It has everything you could want from Tarantino and more. See this film
Post Grad (Alexis Bledel, Michael Keaton, Carol Burnett) A cute little story that reminds me of my struggles through job searching. If you just graduated college and struggling to find a job, this movie is for you. A cute little romantic comedy that you could enjoy, especially if you’re not into the Nazi thing. This may not appeal to everyone’s satisfactory for going out to enjoying a movie. Rent It
Box Office Battlefield: District 9, Ponyo, and The Time Traveler’s Wife
I’ve got your weekend update with all the fancy new movies coming out this weekend of August 14th. There are a lot of limited small films so I won’t describe them all in full detail:
District 9 (Sharlto Copley, David James, Jason Cope) The big one of the weekend, although some might not have even heard of it. This low budget blockbuster is already getting tons of hype as it shows a 92% fresh on RottenTomatoes currently. This refugee alien flick looks like one to see as it was produced by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings trilogy) and with such a low budget of only $35 mil, it looks like a big budget film. I would not miss this movie if I were you. See It!!!
Ponyo (Cate Blanchett, Matt Damon, Liam Neeson) With a star studded voice-cast and amazing animation work, this film looks like it could be something. I’m not into the animation thing quite that much, but the critics are raving that this is a film to see as well. This is a story inspired by “The Little Mermaid” and is about the story of a young and overeager goldfish named Ponyo (Noah Cyrus) and her quest to become human. I’d say this could be good if I liked animated features, but that’s me. See It/Rent it
Bandslam (Alyson Michalka, Vanessa Hudgens, Gaelan Connell) Mehhhh, An outcast (Connell) bonds with the popular girl on campus (Michalka) over their shared love of music, and together they decide to form a rock group and enter their school’s upcoming battle of the bands competition. Some little teen comedy that some could like if your a little tween or love Hudgens. This movie doesn’t look cheesy nor does it look horribly done, it’s just for the younger audience obviously. Take your kids, make your kids go. Skip It/Rent It
The Time Traveler’s Wife (Eric Bana, Rachel McAdams, Ron Livingston) Looks like a nice little romantic drama movie filled with great actors. The story focuses on a girl who falls in love with a man with a gene that unfortunately causes him to shift through time. This looks like a new good one to see as a date. The story is different from what’s out there with romantic movies these days. See It/Rent it.
Paper Heart – Limited Showings (Charlyne Yi, Michael Cera, Jake M. Johnson) The love story about a documentary about love. This film is a great little indie flick that you have to see. Charlyne Yi goes on a mission to find out what love is in documentary form and encounters Michael Cera. Their relationship now becomes part of the documentary now and they must deal with the cameras. My review can be seen HERE as I praise it pretty highly. See It
The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard (Jeremy Piven, Ving Rhames, David Koechner) Although I hate Jeremy Piven as a person and actor, but I do enjoy his films. This movie does look funny and could be a the one to equal the Hangover as the new comedy in town. The film does seem a little over the top, but that does not seem to take away that much out of the film. See It
It Might Get Loud – Limited Showings (Jimmy Page, The Edge, Jack White) A documentary on the electric guitar from the point of view of three significant rock musicians of different times. Rent It
Spread – Limited Showings (Ashton Kutcher, Anne Heche) In Los Angeles, Nikki (Kutcher) is a sexual grafter who uses his assets to enjoy the city’s richest women and their lifestyle. Soon he finds himself torn between two very different women: Samantha (Heche), a lawyer who gives Nikki more than he’s ever had before, and Heather (Levieva), a waitress and equally savvy grafter in her own right. SKIP IT
Grace – Limited Showings (Jordan Ladd, Samantha Ferris, Gabrielle Rose) After losing her unborn child, Madeline Matheson (Ladd) insists on carrying the baby to term. Following the delivery, the child miraculously returns to life, with an appetite for human blood. See It/Rent It.
