Looking ahead to the weekend of Nov. 30-Dec. 2, I’m throwing out the following picks.
1) Breaking Wind: The Stink Remains Pt 2 – It won’t die until the Hobbit.
2) The Collection – Because we haven’t had a creepy movie for a while yet.
3) Skyfall – Bond is slowly grinding down.
4) Lincoln – One of the great presidents.
5) Killing Them Softly – Brad Pitt, mob movie, decent theater count, who knows?
