A short week it was for most of us with the Labor Day holiday and all that so let’s see what we can unwind with at theatres after the four-day work week. Wednesday sees the opening of another freakshow from Tim Burton, but it looks awesome. Our regular Friday openings see trouble in the raging snow, a film that tries to combine I Know What You Did Last Summer and Prom Night, and finally Tyler Perry still thinks he is funny for some reason. Good luck this weekend everyone. You’re going to need it.
Wide Release

Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they’ll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them. Opened Wednesday, September 9.
