It's set to be a mostly quiet week at movie theaters this weekend after Quentin Tarantino and his merry band of Basterds stormed the box office last weekend. Opening today are two horror sequels: "The Final Destination" and Rob Zombie's "Halloween 2". Neither of those movies screened for critics, but "The Final Destination" is running a 14% on Rotten Tomatoes while "Halloween 2" is faring significantly better at 21%.
Also opening this weekend is Ang Lee's "Taking Woodstock", which was mostly met with shrugs at its debut at the Cannes Film Festival and has been greeted with a similar reaction stateside. It currently has ratings of 55 and 50 at Metacritic and RT respectively, but it is an Ang Lee film so it might be worth checking out if you have an interest in the topic.
Opening in very limited release this week are the documentary "The September Issue" and "Big Fan", the latter of which stars comedian Patton Oswalt as an obsessive New York Giants fan.
