A week brimming with creeps and killing, and it’s not even Halloween:
Law Abiding Citizen: A slasher disguised as a psychological thriller that’s disturbing on many levels, from its lack of a hyphen to its lack of taste, logic, and entertainment value.
The Stepfather: A remake of the 1987 thriller, opening cold. Shocker!
Where the Wild Things Are: Spike Jonze‘s adaptation of the 10-sentence children’s classic. Amusingly, it’s been described as “not really for children.”
New York, I Love You: Another multistory valentine to another beloved city. Natalie Portman directs one of the segments — proceed with caution.
More Than a Game: Follows five young basketball players from Akron, Ohio—including the Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James—as they sweat from obscurity to championships.
