Fall movies continue to heat up box office long after summer is over.

With the summer's end, Hollywood tends to head into a slow period, releasing films unlikely to garner huge crowds and generate a lot of buzz, but that doesn't mean there won't be any good films until winter.

Beginning Sept. 22 and running through May, Cinemark Tinseltown will run high-definition broadcasts of select plays live from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.

Tinseltown runs about of these 10 shows per season and they tend to have the most attendance, general manager David Ray said.

"The operas average 100 to 120 people per showing," he said. "It's a great convenience for those who want to see an opera from the Metropolitan without having to travel so far."

After winning several awards for last year's gritty masterpiece, "No Country for Old Men," Joel and Ethan Coen are not afraid of making a goofy comedy to follow their bloody thriller.

The fall movie season begins with the Coen brothers' comedy caper "Burn After Reading," which hits theaters Friday. Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand are two moronic gym employees who stumble across a disk containing top-secret CIA information. Attempting to make profit with the disk, they become CIA targets. The all-star cast also includes George Clooney, Tilda Swinton and John Malkovich.

Reuniting for their fourth film, which comes out Oct. 10, Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott team up for the political thriller, "Body of Lies."

Leonardo DiCaprio stars as a former-journalist-turned-CIA operative on a mission to locate an al-Qaida leader. Crowe plays the evil leader of the operation, overlooking DiCaprio and causing problems while he is on assignment.

Since 2005, Scott has directed one movie per year. While "Kingdom of Heaven" and "A Good Year" flopped, last year's "American Gangster" was a huge success. "Body of Lies" will hopefully follow the same path.

Halloween is creeping up on us, which means another installment of the "Saw" series. "Saw V" opens Oct. 24 with more innocent victims trying to escape the traps of the sadistic Jigsaw.

Some people are fans of the gruesome slasher series while others can't stomach it. However you look at it, the series has become successful and has reinvented the '80s-style horror franchise, a la "Friday the 13th" and "A Nightmare on Elm Street."

One returning and one new movie franchise headline November.

Daniel Craig reprises his role as the suave, womanizing double agent James Bond in "Quantum of Solace." Picking up where "Casino Royale" left off, Bond faces new terror as an environmentalist tries to gain control of a country's water supply. This entry marks the 22nd film for Bond.

After success with "Casino Royale," Craig has become a top Hollywood star with some calling him the best Bond since Sean Connery. Decide for yourself Nov. 14.

A new fantasy movie replaces the Nov. 21 slot that "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" originally filled.

"Twilight" follows the story of a young teenage girl who falls in love with a vampire and refuses to leave his side. The book series is aimed at young adults, but popularity through word of mouth has expanded the audience beyond the target demographic.

Senior Megan Farley, a liberal studies major, is excited to see the film.

"The story is just great and everything is so descriptive in the book," she said. "I can't wait to see what they do with the movie."

No matter what your taste is, you are guaranteed to find something entertaining at the movie theater this fall. As the late Gene Siskel used to say, "See you at the movies."
