They should change the name to Awesome-tober

I love October; personally I think it's the best month of the year, right behind Smarch. Not only does it commemorate the day I emerged from the womb, but it also sees the arrival of All Hallow's Eve, which always ends up being a big, drunken mess. Additionally the weather finally becomes "Jarett appropriate”. As many Jews can attest, the summer months can be a bit of a bitch because of the copious amounts of sweating that occur. I mean, you'd think that after all the time wandering the desert we'd develop some sort of immunity to scorching heat that doesn't consist of lashing 100 piece of matzoah together to make the worlds worst umbrella.

But most importantly, October officially begins the FALL MOVIE SEASON, which is far and away the best time of the year to go to the movies. January through April consists of garbage that the studios dump out because the films either A) suck or B) are Valentine's Day timed chick flicks. April-September house the Summer Blockbusters that are expected to make serious bank but never stay with you once you've left the theatre. And then the glorious October rolls around and the Oscar hopefuls, Halloween-timed horror movies and big Christmas releases roll out and always obliterate the previous 10 months of schlock. So, considering that I can sense you thinking, "Which films is Jarett most excited to see in October?" I have decided to break it down for you below--leave a comment and let me know which one you are most psyched about.

In Order of Importance:

The Prestige--words cannot express my utter excitement for this one
The Departed
Running With Scissors--one of my most favoritest books EVER!
Little Children--I would pay to see Kate Winslet reading the dictionary
Marie Antoinette
Babel
Saw III--because the tagline, "oh yes, there will be blood" is NEVER a lie
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning--two words: Jordana Brewster.
The Queen
The Grudge 2
The Nightmare Before Christmas (3-D version)
