Weekend Watch - Nov. 6, 2009

Lots of pictures landing at the box office this weekend, so let's get this ball rolling.

A Christmas Carol - Jim Carrey plays almost everyone in this 3-D motion capture adaptation of Dickens's Christmas classic. Robert Zemeckis directs this version of the story "like you've never seen it before." (Hint: it's in 3-D but otherwise it's pretty much the same.)

The Fourth Kind - Milla Jovovich stars in this spooky UFO picture with elements from the shaky cam genre. Opening a week too late, this flick promises a few mild jump moments and audiences shaking their heads.

Precious: Based on the Novel by Sapphire - Opening in "Give me an award" release, this flick is about an overweight girl sent to a new school to turn her life around.

The Box - Cameron Diaz and Corny Collins - er, Jason Marsden - receive a mystery box from Frank Langella. If they push the button inside, they'll get a million bucks, but someone they don't know will die. Twist ending alert! Fans of The Twilight Zone should give this one a try.

The Men Who Stare at Goats - This Coens-esque comedy stars Ewan McGregor as a journalist tracking an Army experiment to develop ESP-gifted soldiers who can explode goats with their minds.
