FILM: New to the Box Office - 10/26/07

SAW IV

If you want the shit scared out of you this Halloween and you've already seen 30 Days of Night, watch Saw I, II and III, and then go to the midnight viewing of IV. If you need a plot, then you clearly don't understand the purpose of this weekend. However, here you go: "The deaths of Jigsaw and his apprentice Amanda ensnare Detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor), SWAT Commander Rigg (Lyriq Bent) and FBI agents Strahm (Gilmore Girls' Scott Patterson) and Perez (Athena Karkanis) in the grisly details of the killers' final game."


DAN IN REAL LIFE

You want to see something scary? Dive into the mind of a single dad who's falling in love with his brother's girlfriend. Granted, maybe Steve Carell would have a bit of trouble competing with Dane Cook in real life. But for Juliette Binoche (Chocolat)? I don't think so. She's just far too sophisticated for Cook. They're an unmatched pair from the start, so it's easy to root for Carell's poor sap. (By the way, when will he start playing characters who have backbone?) Think of it as a mix between Meet the Parents--chocked full of embarrassing slapstick--and The Family Stone--adorable family moments. It's perfect for a Thanksgiving primer, as well as a sweet little romantic dramedy before the holidays.

There are also a lot of indies coming out. See for yourself.
