Eli Roth and Brad PittSweet, sweet movies, what have you on offer this weekend?

A few releases that have been kicking around elsewhere have landed here this weekend, like Adam, in which darling Hugh Dancy plays a young man with Asperger's negotiating a romantic relationship with Rose Byrne. Two horror movies, both of which were not screened for critics, are also opening this weekend: The Final Destination and Halloween II. I saw the first FD movie and none of the sequels, and, well, I don't always have the stomach for horror. I watch a lot of stuff and almost never look away, but I just don't do Rob Zombie. 

Ang Lee's Taking Woodstock is also out. As if the August release weren't a bad enough sign, the reviews have been poor as well. David Edelstein took issue with the adaptation and the casting.  Oh, well. I can accept that Lee's not suited to every genre, and Demetri Martin can remain on my TV and lap top screen.

Over at the Bytowne, check out Everlasting Moments, in which a new camera changes a middle-aged woman's life (for reals, give it a try), and, quite frankly, I think you should go see Buffy the Vampire Slayer at the Mayfair tonight at 11:45. 

Finally, I will be going to see Inglourious Basterds this weekend, as I did not have a chance to see it last weekend.  I know, I know, I just said I had no stomach for horror. I'm a complicated woman.
