The fall movie season is in full swing this weekend, so brace yourself for a lot of Oscar-baiting seriousness ... and a vampire or two:
- Rendition: Hooking up with three Oscar-winning co-stars (Reese Witherspoon, Meryl Streep, Alan Arkin) and the director of the Oscar-winning Tsotsi (Gavin Hood), Jake Gyllenhaal plays a CIA analyst involved in an interrogation gone bad ... real bad.
- 30 Days of Night: Vampires come out to play when the sun goes down for a month in a small Alaskan town. Based on Steve Niles' bloody graphic novel, this fright flick is already garnering sequel buzz, so pay attention to who makes it to the final reel. Josh Hartnett and the new go-to guy for quirky roles, Ben Foster, star. And speaking of quirky ...
- Wristcutters: A Love Story: Already hailed as the next great cult film, Patrick Fugit commits suicide and finds himself in a strange, Purgatory-like world. Oh, and it's a romantic comedy.
- Reservation Road: A fatal hit-and-run accident throws Mark Ruffalo's life into a downward spiral. Joaquin Phoenix and Jennifer Connelly are the traumatized parents of the dead boy. Hard-hitting drama or big downer? You decide.
- Things We Lost in the Fire: Oscar winners Halle Berry and Benicio Del Toro headline another drama about coping with loss. Also stars Alison Lohman and David Duchovny.
- Gone Baby Gone: Ben Affleck makes his feature film directorial debut with this story of two detectives (Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris) trying to find a missing little girl. Depressed yet?
- Weirdsville: Hunky Scott Speedman is a drugged-out small time criminal on the lamb from a vicious drug dealer. Also stars Wes Bentley and Taryn Manning.
- Jimmy Carter Man from Plains: Jonathan Demme's acclaimed documentary follows the ex-president on his recent national tour for his controversial book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. Still with me?
- And finally: on a lighter (much lighter) note, Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas is re-released in Disney Digital 3-D, just in time for Halloween, for a three week engagement.
