We find ourselves at an interesting juncture this weekend there is only one wide release and I refuse to let it be the de facto pick of the week. Which is why the pick this week is a movie that has been released but is expanding.
Paranormal Activity - (94% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) - expanding - Pick of the Week
Katie (Katie Featherson) and Micah (Micah Sloat) are a twentysomething couple who've just moved into a new home in San Diego, California. Katie has an interest in the paranormal and believes that malevolent spirits have been following her since childhood, though Micah is not so easily convinced. Out comes the video cames, and out come the goosebumps. Consensus says that using its low-budget effects and mockumentary method to great result, Paranormal Activity turns a simple haunted house story into 90 minutes of relentless suspense.
The Boys are Back - (67% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) - expanding
Check out our review of it HERE. Critics are saying great performances by Clive Owen and The Boys save this melodrama from entering into the sappy territory it might have in less competent hands.
Couples Retreat - (11% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes)
Check out our review of it HERE. Critical consensus on the film was despite a talented cast and some reliably pleasant interplay between Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn, Couples Retreat leaves viewers stranded in an arid, mirthless comedy. Me on the other hand, I wasn't so kind, I flat out hated it and it made me angry with its badness.
