'Rush' Leads New Movies in Theaters This Friday

Last week Prisoners, starring Hugh Jackman, dominated the new movies that opened in theaters.

This week Hugh Jackman will be looking at some stiff competition with Chris Hemsworth and Olivia Wilde.  Not sure how you're going to compete against that pair?

Well, maybe Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Scarlett Johansson can.  But my bet is on Rush knocking it out of the park.

Here's what new movies are coming out this Friday, September 27th: (Trailers at bottom of post)

Bruce's Observation:  More than ten thousand folks have contributed to the IMDb user rating of 8.4.  THAT'S HUGE and if you're on the bubble wondering if you should go check out the movie, that could be a good clue for you.

Over three thousand folks have chimed in on IMDb who have already seen this comedy and have given it a user rating of 7.5.  It looks like a fun/cute movie, is Gordon-Levitt's directorial debut and Johansson looks rather alluring in the clips.
