Looking at the Weekend: October 21-23, 2011

Do you want your buckle swashed or your wits scared? That’s the big choice this weekend as two genre pics battle it out for dominance with the known quantity of Paranormal Activity 3 having the best shot at the crown.

Consensus

Below is a list of what we have come to a general consensus on. The number in parens represents the percentage of our contributors who agree with the statement.

Johnny English Reborn: Did anyone really want or need this sequel?
The Mighty Macs: It might be inspirational or it might be generic.
Paranormal Activity 3: More of the same isn’t always a bad thing, but it isn’t always a good thing either.
The Three Musketeers: Pretty to look at, but whether it will be dumb or fanciful remains to be seen.
Martha Marcy May Marlene: A solid Oscar contender ready for audiences.
