Out 9/28:
Looper

Starbuck
If you can hack the subtitles for another foreign film, this one might be a hilarious and oddly heartwarming gem about a man who donates sperm early in his life, only to find out later that he has 533 children out there.

Out 10/5:
Taken 2
Continue the suspense as Liam Neeson plays the baddest dad on the planet with a very particular set of skills.
Frankenweenie
If you’re a Tim Burton fan, but can’t bring yourself to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas for the twentieth year in a row…this one is for you!
The Paperboy
A star studded film portraying a reporter (Zac Efron) who sets out to investigate a case involving a death row inmate (John Cusack). Oh, and you get to see Nicole Kidman pee on Zac, just sayin…
Out 10/12:
Nobody Walks
A film ripe with drama…where a beautiful and aspiring film student moves into the home of a Los Angeles couple, inevitably testing their marriage.

Out 10/19:
Killing Them Softly
Crime, the mob, and poker seem to go hand in hand every time. In this adaptation of the 1974 novel “Cogan’s Trade” by George V. Higgins, you get all of that plus a gun toting Brad Pitt!

Because, if you’re going to be waiting in the throws of suspense, why not do it whilst watching Gael Garcia Bernal?
Out 10/26:
Cloud Atlas
With a trailer of such proportion and a cast of such caliber, this film about our ultimate karma transcending time and space had better be good.

Silver Linings Playbook
Two crazy people make one whole entity, right? At least, that’s what Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence character’s in this David O. Russell film are seeking to find out.
