IN THEATERS
Out today is the latest remake of another foreign horror movie, "Shutter." It hasn't been reviewed early for critics so there's no help there. The story follows a couple, Ben and Jane, who on their honeymoon get into a car accident and they're almost sure that it was a person they have hit. Once out of the car, there's nothing to be seen. So while on their trip to Japan in which Ben is also involved in a photo shoot, strange blurs appear in all the photos. The couple come to realize that the strange markings are that of the girl they hit who is now out for revenge.

Out today is the thriller, "Funny Games." Directed by Michael Haneke, the original was made 10 years ago by the same director, yet was a foreign film. So why did he feel inclined to make a near carbon copy of the original yet in English? To simply expand on it's audience. Makes sense.

The only problem is that his franchise is one of the worst in the league and now they are about to merge with the NBA, leaving them forced to come together and try and pull out some victories.

These delegates aren't bound by their state's caucus or primary results; they've got the leeway to pick whichever candidate they want, and then change their minds. And their vote counts as much as other delegates chosen by thousands of voters.
