“The Cabin in the Woods” Movie Reviews & “Lockout”

Two big films are opening this weekend, we have “The Cabin in the Woods” for horror buffs and “Lockout” for action fans. “The Cabin in the Woods” is from the brilliant minds of Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard and it stars Kristen Connolly (Dana), Chris Hemsworth (Curt), Anna Hutchison (Jules), Fran Kranz (Marty), Jesse Williams (Holden), and Richard Jenkins (Sitterson).

In “Lockout,” Guy Pearce stars as Snow, a man in charge to rescue the President’s daughter (Maggie Grace) from inside a prison in space. Directors James Mather and Stephen St Leger crafted a simple plot (they co-wrote the film with Luc Besson) that is full of witty one-liners and features Pearce as an action hero.

So which one is my pick of the week? Let’s take a look.
