You'd be surprised how funny it still is to watch Johnny Knoxville get steamrolled by a bull, even after all these years. Do yourself a favor and check it out in 3D before it goes away.
2. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest
We've been lucky enough to receive all three chapters of the Millennium trilogy, based on Stieg Larsson's wildly popular series of crime novels, in one calandar year. The final film wraps the somber series up by pitting hard edged computer hacker, Lisbeth Salander, and her dashing hero Mikael Blomqvist, against the men responsible for ruining her life since day one. A satisfying conclusion that only makes me more interested in David Fincher's upcoming remakes.
1. Paranormal Activity 2
Saw 3D sucked. So if you're going to spend your money this Halloween on a flick that's going to make you jump out of your chair, the sequel to last year's hit is the way to go. More victims, more scares, and a story that actually elevates the first film and establishes Paranormal Activity as a credible, strengthening horror franchise.
DVD Pick of the Week: Winter's Bone
Part mystery, part crime drama set in the heart of the Ozarks. Jennifer Lawrence gives what I think is an Oscar worthy turn as Ree Dolly, a headstrong teenage girl forced to care for her sick mom and two siblings while her drug dealing father is in and out of prison. When he puts their house up for bond and skips town without their knowledge, it's up to Ree to go toe-to-toe with the secretive, protective inhabitants of her town, most of which are her kin, to find him.
