Nobody really asked for a remake of John Carpenter's classic film, but if anyone is going to do it, why not Rob Zombie with his own version of Halloween? Reactions to Zombie's "re-imagining" seem to be mostly split down the middle (some have loved it...some have hated it), but one thing is for sure...the film is causing a stir. Halloween stalks and slashes its way into theaters everywhere this weekend. Also in theaters this week is Death Sentence - Kevin Bacons stars in James Wan's latest revenge flick; The 11th Hour - Leonardo DiCaprio produced (and hosts) this startling film about the world in which we live (and often taken for granted); and War - Jet Li and Jason Statham square off in this exciting action flick. Be sure to catch reviews of other recent Theatrical Films: Ladron que Roba a Ladron, Balls of Fury, Freshman Orientation, September Dawn, The Nanny Diaries, Mr. Bean's Holiday, The Last Legion, Resurrecting the Champ, The Hottest State, September Dawn, Superbad. As always, we invite you to share your thoughts on films in theaters in our Movie Talk Forum Area.
