Is Jessica Chastain a movie star? Probably not. At least not yet. However, this weekend proved that she's well on her way to being one. Headlining the top two films at the box office in a single weekend is a great start. The Oscar nomination certainly doesn't hurt either.
Jason Aldean is a dead man... at least in the movies! Aldean will make his big screen debut as an actor in the film 'Sweetwater,' in which he stars alongside January Jones and Ed Harris. He plays a henchmen who eventually meets his maker in the action western.
You really only need to say one thing about the opening weekend of Kathryn Bigelow's 'Zero Dark Thirty': it made more in three days than 'The Hurt Locker' did in its entire run. If there's anything that's going to alleviate getting snubbed for at the Oscars in the Best Director category, it's that.
The hunt for Osama bin Laden, a throwback gangster tale and a horror spoof all hit theaters this weekend, giving you a wide range of options.
'Zero Dark Thirty'
The story of the Navy SEAL team that killed Osama bin Laden, following years of work by a dedicated CIA operative, from the makers of 'The Hurt Locker
Dirty Harry would love 'Gangster Squad,' a movie about cops who operate so far outside the law they make Clint Eastwood's signature detective look like a pencil-pushing dweeb. Assembled by LAPD police chief Bill Parker (Nick Nolte), and supposedly inspired by a true story, the members of the so-called Gangster Squad operate as judge, jury, and executioners. They don't arrest their targets; they "wage war" against their enemy, mob boss Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn). In their quest to bust up Cohen's rackets, the Gangster Squad brandishes about a billion guns and not a single badge. Hell, even Dirty Harry waited until the end of his movie to toss his away.

Who says Christmas is about staying warm by the fire and exchanging gifts with your loved ones? Everyone knows that the holidays are all about movies!
