Out in Theaters Today!

Disney Pixar is back at it this year with yet another possitively reviewed film. Following the Academy-Award winner that was Wall-E, hitting the big screen today is Up! The film is also their first release in 3D. Can't wait to see it.
Now, if you're not into animated films, then your choice this weekend could be the horror movie Drag Me to Hell. Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) is a loan officer with a good job and a promising future. With a promotion up in the air between her and another employee, her boss, Mr. Jacks (David Paymer), advises her that she needs to demonstrate that she can make "the hard calls" and tough decisions. When Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver), an elderly Gypsy woman, asks for a third extension on her mortgage, Christine, against her better instincts, denies her in an attempt to prove herself. In desperation, Ganush prostrates herself before Christine, begging and kissing the hem of her skirt. As a crowd of customers and employees gathers, Christine panics and shoves the woman away, gravely insulting her.

That night, in a parking garage, Ganush, enraged and humiliated, exacts revenge by attacking Christine, pulling her out of her car and tearing off one of the buttons on the sleeve of her jacket before using it to place a curse upon her. Shaken by this confrontation, but sure that no further harm will come of it, Christine tries to forget what has happened and move on with her life. But when she arrives home, a mysterious entity that only she can see begins to haunt and torment at all hours. She confides in her boyfriend, Clay Dalton (Justin Long); however, he is too skeptical to believe her stories about terrifying demons.
