New To Theatres This Weekend: Season of the Witch, Country Strong, The Social Network

Posted by on January 7th, 2011   Filed under: New Releases

Just in case you needed a reminder that it’s January, here’s a quick rundown of the lacklustre line-up of films playing in theatres this weekend. The only major release is Season of the Witch starring Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman, and while it’s something I might watch out of curiosity on TV on a Sunday afternoon, I don’t know that I’d actually pay to see it since early reviews have been about as bad as you’d expect. The other new film playing in a significant number of theatres is Country Strong starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Tim McGraw. Your best bet this weekend is probably to catch The Social Network again since it’s returning to theatres for an Academy run on 600 screens, just a few days before its DVD and Blu-ray release. What will you be checking out this weekend?

    Is The Social Network being re-released in 3-D ?

  • Space Bandito

    I will watching football this weekend of course, but I will definitely be renting Season of the Witch when it comes out. For MST3K purposes at least.

    Ditto that Space Bandito. Can’t wait for my Colts to shut that loudmouth Rex Ryan up.
