The only movie out now that I've seen was Sweeney Todd. There was a lot of blood, but it was pretty clearly fake to my eyes. In fact the syrupy pour of blood in the title credits was done with just enough self-awareness that it was enough to start me giggling at the movie right there.
If that is not for you, the only other two movies out that I'd consider seeing are Juno (I have one friend who saw it and loved it, but I would rather see in my own home than around people in a theater where there might be active feedback with the screen in a way that pissed me off) and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (which I know of not one single person who has seen, but it sounds like it could be wonderful - came to my attention through an op ed piece about the writers strike since the person was saying that people had already very clearly demonstrated to studio executives that writers were superfluous by flocking in droves to Borat and dumbass sequels instead of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly)
