There's a movie coming out this weekend called The Last Exorcism; I saw a trailer and it looks really scary. Set in rural Louisiana (where else?) it's about a preacher who makes the trek to an isolated farmhouse to save the soul of a demonic girl. Only he doesn't really believe in this stuff, so he brings a documentary crew along to expose his own fraud -- except this time, the possession seems to be real. Cool premise; decent, if limited, early reviews. Then there's Takers, about a bunch of seasoned criminals (including rapper T.I. and Chris Brown) determined to pull off one last heist, and we all know how that kind of thing usually turns out. Matt Dillon plays the "hardened" detective determined to stop the criminal escapade. Apparently light on plot but good with the action; reviews have been mixed, mostly bad. And there's that Avatar re-release.
These are slim pickings, so here are a couple of other thoughts: if you're looking for some movie fun, see Scott Pilgrim or The Other Guys. Both entertaining, lighthearted films. If you want something more challenging, look for a showing of the excellent (but slow moving) Winter's Bone, or the also good Kids Are All Right. That should do it.
