Opening this week we have: Case 39, Let Me In, and The Social Network.

Case 39 is about a woman who is nice enough to take in a child from a broken home into her life only to discover that she's wanted by demons or something. Not sure what the over all plot is, but I'm sure it'll involve disturbing images, and needless deaths. Sounds like a great family movie.

Let Me In, seems similar to Case 39, only in this one the kid is a demon, or vampire something. I think we've seen both these types of films made many times already, but this one might be a bit of a stand out since it's star, (Chloe Moretz, Hit Girl in Kick-Ass) has given at least one amazing performance in her short career so far. 

The Social Network is, I think, the one we've all been waiting for since it's about the founding of the one thing, nice-girls, nerds, hipsters, and perverts have in common; FaceBook.  Not only that but it's directed by David Fincher who has directed several amazing features such as Fight Club, and Seven.

Opening this week are Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, and Legend of the Guardians. 

Legend of the Guardians, is about a couple of owls on a quest to find a special tree where the Guardians are said to live. This film is, of course, a kids movie and the trailers feature some of the most beautiful computer animation I have ever seen. I have absolutely no doubt this will be a well made, moral heavy and entertaining movie, but for some reason I just don't really feel like spending a movie ticket on it, I'd much ratther just wait for the eventual DVD release. Maybe this is just a generational thing. I grew up on "Dr. Seuss", and just don't find a story of Hero-Owls all that appealing.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, Needless to say, this is a sequel to the original Wall Street of the 80's. I am looking forward to this movie, it's absolutely the perfect time for it. With the real Wall Street always on the news these days, it would be refreshing to see fictional/reality-based behind the scenes look at just what's going on, through the eyes of an almost legendary 80's fictional character.  Where did the get "Money Never Sleeps" sounds like a 90's hip-hop track, featuring P' Diddy, of Puffy, or whatever he was going by back then.

There will definitely be something for everyone this weekend at you local theater. Opening this week we've got an weird animated family movie "Alpha and Omega", a teen comedy "Easy A", a serious adult drama "The Town", and something for everyone in between "Devil".

Alpha and Omega, is an animated family movie with a somewhat disturbing plot about one female wolf, and one male wolf who are dropped in a certain area to reproduce, implying that the story will eventually involve (or imply) animals mating.

Easy A, is a loose modern retelling of classic literature's "The Scarlet Letter". In the film the main character lies about her promiscuity and is branded a "Harlot".

The Town, is one that I'm actually really looking forward to, It's a pretty basic bank-hist type movie with a promised twist, but I'm expecting the plot to take a back seat to what are sure to be some pretty great performances from some proven talented actors.

Devil, not much is said about the plot to this movie, implying some crazy twist ending, but from what I can tell from the trailer is that it's a movie about people that are trapped in an elevator with some kind of evil supernatural creature... or are they?

Not much to choose from this week with only one movie opening nation wide: Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D

I think this is the fourth of the Resident Evil movies, and I'm sure it's the first one in 3D. They've all been okay films. Okay in the sense that they deliver what they promise, a beautiful girl with big guns killing zombies. I don't remember the plot to any of these films, and ultimately I don't think they really matter much as long as there's always something being shot at. I guess things should be just a little better this time in that everything that gets shot at will be in in-your-face 3D.
