October is horror movie prime time, so it's no surprise that studios save some of their heaviest hitters for Halloween season. Right up there is the much-anticipated Paranormal Activity 2, which his theaters this weekend. Since the original became a surprise box office smash hit, I have a feeling that fans will flock to the theaters once again to see the follow-up. The first movie, in the vein Read more

Johnny Knoxville and the boys are at it again this weekend with Jackass 3D. That's right, if you weren't grossed out enough by the first two movies, now the action is all up in your face. (I hope you have a strong stomach.) I have a love-hate relationship with the Jackass guys. While many of their antics make me gag, I did laugh at several stunts in the new trailer (you've got to admit that Bam Read more

Disney's Secretariat is let out of the gate today, and it promises an "impossible true story" about the horse that won the US Triple Crown champion and his strong owner, Penny Chenery (played by Diane Lane). The trailer certainly has that feeling of an epic, emotional journey, and it might very well fit into the pantheon of inspiring sports movies. But is the family-friendly movie enough to move Read more

Robert Rodriguez's violent extravaganza Machete barrels into theaters today. Danny Trejo plays the title role, a Mexican badass hired to assassinate an anti-immigration senator (Robert De Niro) when a former employer double-crosses him. Together with a priest (Cheech Marin), a resistance fighter (Michelle Rodriguez), and an ICE agent (Jessica Alba), he goes after his would-be killer to get Read more

Julia Roberts and Michael Cera aren't the only ones storming the box office this weekend — in fact, they're joined by a whole slew of big-name action stars in The Expendables. Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger team up with tons of other beefy guys about a team of mercenaries that heads to South Africa. In a year that's already brought us The Losers and The A-Team, Read more

I've professed my love for dance movies many a time, and that same ardor is prompting me to confess something: I might go see Step Up 3D this weekend. I readily admit that I loved the first movie with Channing Tatum and saw the sequel, so I know that my viewership of the third flick is inevitable. I'm not going for the story; I'm going to see some kids from the wrong side of the track dance with Read more

Amanda Seyfried has really been everywhere lately, after finally breaking out thanks to her roles in Mamma Mia and Big Love. She's already starred in a number one romance this year and has a romantic comedy, Letters to Juliet, due later this Spring. Today, another of her movies, Chloe, opens in limited release, with Seyfried in a much racier role than the aforementioned projects. As a high-class Read more

I half-watch most horror movies, and this Friday's The Crazies looks like yet another one that I'll shield my eyes for. The film follows a small Iowa town which experiences a widespread plague when a toxin is released into the water supply. Its effect: turning everyone into psychopaths on murderous rampages, save for a few of its residents (namely actor Timothy Olyphant who plays the sheriff and Read more

Extraordinary Measures opens today, starring Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser as a scientist and biotech exec, respectively, who team up to find a cure for Pompe disease, which affects both of Fraser's character's children. The movie is based on the book The Cure by Geeta Anand. I'm not sure what to expect of the film, but I will say that it knows its audience: the latest promos compare it to The Read more
