There really are not many films coming out this weekend for all you cinephiles out there to check out. Getting a wide release is the new Tim Burton/Johnny Depp flick Dark Shadows. If you are lucky enough to live in a major market you could also check out Girl In Progress, The Road, or God Bless America if any of those tickle your fancy.
