Movies Opening in Theaters This Week - September 20; 'Prisoners'

This week we have at least one good dramatic movie entry with some solid talent, then a dance movie with Josh Holloway (Sawyer from Lost) straggling to rescue his career (???) and believe it or not, a VERY POPULAR 1939 movie hitting the 3D/IMAX money churning machine.

Though to be honest, I'd be surprised if Dorothy didn't pull some folks in and make a few bucks in some fashion. Yes, I said Dorothy.

With that said, check out the posters, trailers and synopsis of this week's new movies. And after that, the box office top-ten movies that are in theaters, with their IMDb user scores! Doh!!! (In some cases of low scores.)
