January comes to a close this weekend with a wacky chick flick and an even wackier action movie. If you’re heading to the theater this weekend, here’s what you’ll find:
New This Week:
* When in Rome
Edge of Darkness
North Face (limited)
Saint John of Las Vegas (limited)
Kristin’s Pick of the Week:
If you’re not lucky enough to be checking out the latest in up-and-coming indies, you’ll just have to settle for one of this week’s new January releases. I’ve seen both of this week’s wide releases, though, and I’m having a hard time choosing the lesser of two bad movies. So, this week, I recommend giving up and staying home with a rental and some microwave popcorn.
Also in Theaters:
Extraordinary Measures
Tooth Fairy
Crazy Heart
The Book of Eli
A Single Man
Bronson
Leap Year
Nine
It’s Complicated
The Young Victoria
Sherlock Holmes
Up in the Air
The Lovely Bones
Invictus
The Princess and the Frog
The Road
The Twilight Saga: New Moon
The Blind Side

Kristin Dreyer Kramer has been writing in some form or another (usually when she was supposed to be doing something else) since the ripe old age of ten—when she, her cousin, and their two Cabbage Patch Dolls formed the Poo Authors’ Club. After a short career in advertising, Kristin got sick of always saying nice things about stuff that didn’t deserve it—so now she spends her days criticizing things, and she’s much happier for it.
Since creating NightsAndWeekends.com in February of 2002, Kristin has spent her life surrounded by piles and piles of books and movies—so many that her office has become a kind of entertainment obstacle course.
As if her writing and editing responsibilities for N&W.com weren’t enough to keep her out of trouble, Kristin also hosts a number of weekly radio shows: Reel Discovery, Shelf Discovery, and On the Marquee. She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
Kristin lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her husband, Paul, and their daughter, Anna. She welcomes questions, comments, and fan mail at kdk@nightsandweekends.com.
