...littered the lobbies of North American theaters. The Saw torture-porn franchise took the biggest hit, with its sixth installment getting chainsawed by the Paranormal Activity phenomenon. Another horror entry, Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant, was D.O.A. Astro Boy, the third autumn movie based on a kids, pop-culture touchstone, didn't fly; and neither did the aviation bio-pic Amelia, which took off at low altitude and instantly crashed. As for the weekend's goriest psychodrama, Lars von Trier,s Antichrist, it performed anemically in limited release. If you're keeping score of the weekend body count...

Meanwhile, the more introverted Bøe played gigs with his own second band, Kommode, and spent time at home in Bergen with his wife.
