Is there anything worth seeing right now? (Current movies)

As the title says, is there anything that's worth going out and seeing right now? My wife and I are both home today and were thinking of catching a flick but aren't sure if there is anything worth while showing right now. We like all sorts of movies, so anything that's good we're interested in.

I heard there is an alien movie out right now that's supposed to be pretty decent, anyone know what I'm talking about? If so, can you elaborate a bit?

Thanks!

I enjoyed "This is It" without really even being much of an MJ fan, Pirate Radio was kind of 'neh-' it had a few funny moments but I thought it tried too hard, not terribly accurate as for the supposed time of the story vs. tunes either.

Anti-Christ
Lars Von Trier's masturbatory foray into the self-indulgent horror *come* **** genre. See it for the media backlash.

Precious
The complex story of raising kids in the urban streets seen through the eyes of an (some would say) delusional young woman. Based on the novel Push by Sapphire and directed by Lee Daniels.

A serious man
The latest Coen Brothers movie. Widely regarded as skipping an iteration in brilliance, the Coen brothers follow up on their critical and box office bust "Burn after reading" with a black comedy about a man going through a marital seperation late in life.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox (Opens Tuesday)
Wes Anderson continues his foray into awkward personal relationships but this time as a fox in a stop-animated adventure. Out in limited release, The Fantastic Mr. Fox is already receiving critical praise for it's beautiful sets, animation and story telling.

Coco before Chanel
A biopic telling the story of world famous designer Coco Chanel. Starring Audrey Tautou... nuff said.

Good Hair
I can offer no synopsis but it is supposed to be good.

The Damned United
Telling the story of Leeds United in 194-something, The Damned United is as much a character drama as it is a sports movie.

An Education
A young woman gets wrapped up in an older suitor in this coming of age movie starring Peter Saarsgard.

these are the ones I want to see...

Seriously?
c-u-m is a bad word now?

I thought it was decent but maybe others will like it better because my expectations killed it. If anyone has ever read the book Velocity by Dean Koontz i was thinking that it would be something along those lines. Velocity is about a guy who gets letters from a serial killer that say things like:

"If you don't take this note to the police and get them involved, I will kill a lovely blond schoolteacher somewhere in Napa County. If you do take this note to the police, I will instead kill an elderly woman active in charity work. You have six hours to decide. The choice is yours." (page 18)

It's a really good book if anyone likes the thriller mystery books.
