Oct 29 2009New Movies Are Coming Out This Weekend!
See a movie this weekend. Might as well. No one at any Halloween party is going to get your "Mike Seaver in the Growing Pains where he writes test answers on his shoes but ends up learning the answers" costume anyway. Why didn't you consider no one would ever see the bottom of your shoes? An inwards-facing watch doesn't cut it.
Anyway, here are your new options:
This Is It
Director: Kenny Ortega
Starring: Michael Jackson
Good if you want to see: Michael Jackson singing, dancing, posing with his arms out; Captain Eo sans sci-fi; some people in the audience unironically wearing sequined gloves
Gentlemen Broncos
Director: Jared Hess
Starring: Michael Angarano, Jemaine Clement, Mike White, Sam Rockwell
Good if you want to see: hyper-stylized Napoleon Dynamite-ism taking its next logical, fateful step into near-universal hatred; deer outfitted with weaponry
Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day
Director: Troy Duffy
Starring: Norman Reedus, Young Indiana Jones, Head of the Class
Good if you want to see: Dude, you GOT to see this shit, bro! You GOT to!
The House of the Devil
Director: Ti West
Starring: Jocelin Donahue, Tom Noonan, Mary Woronov
Good if you want to see: a horror film that most reviewers have found both reminiscent of '70s classics and fresh in its own right; where the Devil lives, obviously

So basically, you're saying I'll be catching up on last week's releases instead?

Dammit, if they wear a glove to the MJ movie, it's not ironic. If they don't wear a glove, IT'S NOT IRONIC EITHER.
Shit, people need to learn how to use that word...

At first I thought "This Is It sounds like a terrible name for an X-Men movie." But now I see that the mutants in this one are much more convincing.
@ #5.....TOTALLY AGREE!

Oh......and #1Chuck, you're an idiot for thinking the first Boondock Saints was a bad movie. There's no punchline. You're just an idiot.
