The first weekend of 2013 is probably going to be a slow one for movies, with only a couple of new releases. Still, it will be a good one for fans of horror with the release of a new 3D installment of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and indy fans with the release of the drama “Promised Land”. What will you be seeing this weekend?
