Below is the list of new movies opening in theaters this Friday, October 18th. Below there, the collective of trailers for said new movies.

Carrie 2013
Rated R runs at 100 min
Director: Kimberly Peirce
Stars: Chloë Grace Moretz, Julianne Moore, Gabriella Wilde, Portia Doubleday
Thoughts: Sure, it's another remake, but the trailer looks like they may have done this well enough to not have this new version possibly stand out on its own. And sometimes, yes, a new coat of paint on an old film can be (rarely) fun. I can't wait to see how much modernization they apply to the story.
Almost 2,000 users have chimed in on the movie, and have given Carrie a 6.9/10. That seems to be a promising start.

The Fifth Estate
Rated R with a run time of 128 min
Director: Bill Condon
Stars: Benedict Cumberbatch, Daniel Brühl, Carice van Houten, Alicia Vikander
Thoughts: Critics have had time to see the movie and the reviews are coming in, what I would think is called, flat. Nothing great, nothing bad. The movie has around 1,500 user rating votes on IMDb and it's scoring a 5.9/10. Or... barely above boring.

Escape Plan
Rated R with a run time of 116 min
Director: Mikael Håfström
Stars: Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, 50 Cent, Vincent D'Onofrio
Thoughts: This is a retiree action movie. With Stallone and Arnie. I didn't think it would merit much attention once it came out, but the IMDb user rating is surprising me, with over 2,500 votes, this ancient action fest has a 7.5/10 user rating.
But how much action to these guys pull off. In Liam Neesom movies, you can see he's feeling his age in the action scenes. Watch closely, you'll catch where he doesn't move as freely as he could/should. Or they use obvious stand ins for the big action moments. I'm not knocking it. I enjoy his films, but someday we'll be seeing the same from these guys in Escape Plan.

12 Years a Slave
Rated R, it runs 133 min
Director: Steve McQueen
Stars: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael K. Williams, Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt
Thoughts: Is this finally a lead role for Chiwetel Ejiofor? That's good, because he brings a fascinating kind of energy to his roles that's hard to describe, but even harder to deny. With a bonafied name cast, a legend for a director, it might have legs.
It's in limited release this week, but what few users (1,100) saw it, have given it a 7.7/10 on IMDb.

Director: Kimberly Peirce
Stars: Chloë Grace Moretz, Julianne Moore, Gabriella Wilde, Portia Doubleday

In the antebellum United States, Solomon Northup, a free black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold into slavery.
Director: Steve McQueen
