Pretty big movie weekend.  Argo, Ben Affleck's new directorical effort, is opening, and so is Seven Psychopaths, starring a whole bunch of interesting folks like Colin Farrell, Christopher Walken, Sam Rockwell.  There's also Here Comes the Boom, the Kevin James MMA flick, which seems to be the comedic version of last year's exceptional Warrior.  I'm planning on the first two and Looper, plus maybe End of Watch, the Michael Pena/Jake Gyllenhaal movie that puts a fresh spin on the found footage genre.
