Let’s see, you have two choices this weekend as the summer hits have come to a lull before the big storms hit in June, July, and August. You can check out some freaky horror in The Strangers or you can watch a rerun of every episode of Sex And The City all rolled into one convenient flick. Yep, I’d go see Iron Man again too!

The Strangers – Starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman. Sometimes crimes are committed by those you know very well and they were merely envious of your wonderful belongings and life.
