New to Theatres This Weekend: Astro Boy, Saw VI, Cirque du Freak
Well what do you know… a whole slew of new releases are hitting theatres this weekend, and a few are actually kind of Halloween-related! The sixth installment of the invincible Saw series will probably do its usual business, but it has some competition this year from Oren Peli’s indie hit Paranormal Activity, which has finally reached a critical mass. Other major releases include the CG-animated Astro Boy flick, Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant starring John C. Reilly, and Amelia Earhart biopic Amelia, starring Hilary Swank. Elsewhere, Lars Von Trier’s Antichrist unleashes chaos on a few unsuspecting audiences, Ong Bak 2 gets a small theatrical release, and The Coen Brothers’ A Serious Man slowly widens its reach. Will you be paying a trip to the multiplex this weekend? If you’ve seen any recent releases, let us know in the comments whether or not they were worth checking out.
