Where better to celebrate Turkey Day than at the Cineplex? Hollywood has plenty of new releases to help you commemorate the occasion.
A rundown of our reviews of this weekend's new releases:

"A charming, clever riff on Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and other princess-in-peril flicks from Walt's golden age." [Full Review]
The Mist 
"A flawed but entertaining monster movie." [Full Review]
Hitman 
"Manages to piece together some impressive action set pieces, but it's not enough to compensate for the pain caused whenever the characters open their mouths." [Full Review]
August Rush
"A sappy, cheesy, saccharine mess with cringe-worthy dialogue, a ridiculous premise, and creepy characters." [Full Review]
I'm Not There 
"An acquired taste...inventive, different and highly experimental." [Full Review]
Also opening: This Christmas, Starting Out in the Evening, Nina's Heavenly Delights.
