Summer is almost over. Instead of wallowing in self pity over all the things you swore you would get around to doing this summer but did not do you should just go to a movie, because that is an activity you can handle. Heck, you can even upgrade to a large popcorn combo if you want, you are still on vacation. But which movie should you see? Well, if you want a funny tale about zombies made by the guys who made Coraline than go check out Paranorman. If that is too kid friendly and you really just want to see some action go see The Expendables 2. If you are more of a family oriented person get a ticket to The Odd Life Of Timothy Green, which is probably really heartwarming. You can check out the trailers for all these movies after the jump.

A misunderstood boy who can speak with the dead, takes on ghosts, zombies and grown-ups to save his town from a centuries-old curse.

A childless couple bury a box in their backyard, containing all of their wishes for an infant. Soon, a child is born, though Timothy Green is not all that he appears.
