Yup, with just less than a week to go until X-Mas, the studios are kind of giving us the shaft when it comes to releases this week. An animated Keanu Reeves, the next project from that BLAIR WITCH kid, an adult fairy tale (and no, it ain’t porn!), and two movies about a cult of weirdos (one horrible, the other classic). Hope these hold ya over for the big day, as next week (surprise, surprise) is lookin’ a wee bit more promising!
