This week in theaters: 10/30


There's really only four things in theaters this weekend, only one of which is in wide release. One of the limited ones sounds interesting, but it's not playing near me. Oh well.
Michael Jackson's This Is It: A two hour film that consists of only footage of Michael Jackson practicing for what was supposed to be his upcoming concert tour. I'm going to be honest: I'm sorry Michael Jackson died, but I really could care less about this film. It's obviously just a cash grab by Columbia Pictures. Of course, see it this weekend if you're interested because it's only in release for two weeks.
Gentlemen Broncos: Jared Hess, the maker of Napoleon Dynamite, returns with the story of a teenager who goes to a fantasy writers' convention and discovers his idea for a story has been taken. I was originally interested, but then I came to the realization that Napoleon Dynamite wasn't really that great. It's a good movie, but only for maybe two viewings. Meh.
The Boondocks Saints II: All Saints Day: A sequel to the indie hit The Boondock Saints. Only for fans of the original which I admit that I've never seen although it's on my long Netflix queue.
The House of the Devil: Here's the one I wanted to see. A girl takes up a babysitting job, but realizes her client doesn't even have a child and has a darker secret: they're using her in a satanic ritual. This one has been highly buzzed about and I really need another great horror movie after Paranormal Activity. Plus, doesn't it make sense to see a scary movie on Halloween?
