New To Theatres This Weekend: A Christmas Carol, The Box, The Men Who Stare At Goats

Happy holidays everyone! Robert Zemeckis’ A Christmas Carol starring Jim Carrey hits theatres today, and regardless of the fact that it still seems a little early for a Christmas movie, it’s expected to do quite well. There are three other major releases it has to compete with, however, including Richard Kelly’s The Box, The Men Who Stare at Goats starring George Clooney, and the alien abduction flick The Fourth Kind starring Milla Jovovich. In limited release we have the critically acclaimed Precious: Based on the Novel “Push” by Sapphire, plus a pair of documentaries from two masters of the form in Chris Smith’s Collapse and Frederick Wiseman’s La Danse. Do you plan on seeing anything this weekend?

I’m cautiously optimistic about “The Box”. We’ll see…
Posted by Jon Rocks on November 6th, 2009I can’t wait to see “Fourth Kind”. Been a while since a scary alien movie.
Posted by Chris on November 6th, 2009Isn’t the box just a remake of a Twilight Zone episode from the 80s?
