What's Playing? 12/3 Weekend


***
 This weekend in theatres, everything looks great!
It's a four way tie for top my top pics: 
The marital arts/Western The Warrior's Way that looks just amazing visually, the based on true events thriller/drama murder mystery All Good Things, the talked about dance thriller Black Swan starring Natalie Portman and Jim Carrey's newest comedy, a real-life story--- in which he portrays a gay con-man in I Love You Phillip Morris.
The drama Night Catches Us about Black Panters in the 70's with Kerry Washington looks promising.
And actor Nick Stahl (Disturbing Behavior, Sin City) tackles two roles in two good looking films, a police detective in the drama Meskada and a funeral parlor assistant in the horror/thriller Dead Awake.
