On this Halloween weekend, you can be scared or watch some movies that aren’t really scary… or rent some family friendly movies like “Journey” or “Kit Kittredge”…

***************************************************

In Theaters (Friday): “Changeling” (wide release), “RockNRolla” (wide release), “The Haunting of Molly Hartley”, “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”

On DVD (Tuesday): “Hell Ride”, “Journey to the Center of the Earth” (2008), “Kit Kittredge: An American Girl”

***************************************************

MY TAKE ON WHAT’S NEW IN THEATERS:
For those looking for a scare (other than “Saw V”) there’s the thriller “The Haunting of Molly Hartley”….  if you’re looking for a raunchy romantic comedy – there’s “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”, which is more traditional work by director Kevin Smith than 2004’s “Jersey Girl”….
but  MY TOP CHOICES THIS WEEKEND are Academy Award favorite “Changeling” and a well-reviewed “RockNRolla” that critics say is director Guy Ritchie getting back to form.
