We have reached the first full three day movie weekend for 2011. Unfortunately this weekend doesn’t have much more to offer us than last weekend did with Blue Valentine (Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams) and Another Year (Jim Broadbent and Ruth Sheen). This weekend there is only one new film being released, Season of the Witch starring Nicholas Cage and Ron Perlman. Check out the movie preview below.

Season of the Witch

Nicholas Cage is Behmen the crusader who after returning from years of battle finds his homeland has been overtaken by the Black Plague. Behmen and his comrade Felson (Ron Perlman) are summoned to take an accused witch (Clair Foy) to a secluded abbey where the monks will remove her evil powers. The treacherous and mystical expedition that the group makes is sure to keep viewers wanting more. This film should perform well this weekend without a lot of competition. Next week will be a different story for the film as it will have to go up agaist The Green Hornet and The Dilemma. Season of the Witch is directed by Dominic Sena who also directed Gone in Sixty Seconds (also starring Nicholas Cage) and Swordfish.
