This weekend in theatres, there's a great mix of films--- from genres to plots.
Still keeping things in the horror spirit for the month of October are the horrors: I Spit On Your Grave, remake of the infamous 1978 rape/revenge movie and Wes Craven's teen slasher My Soul to Take in 3D.
The thriller Stone, with Robert De Niro and Edward Norton looks like it will deliver big time.
There are two based-on-true-stories, an exciting looking Secretariat about the famed racehorse of the same name and the cool looking biopic Nowhere Boy about a young John Lennon.
Romantic comedy Tamara Drewe about a flirtatious young woman with a nose job looks fun, while the latter romantic comedy Life As We Know It about two unlikely people made guardians of little baby looks so-so.
The documentary Inside Job about the recent worldwide financial crisis looks surprisingly fascinating.
The rundown of movies in theatres starting this Friday are:
