This week, Marty Scorsese’s latest thriller finally shows up in theaters — and no one has the guts to try to battle him at the box office. If psychological thrillers aren’t your thing, though, there are still plenty of other options. Here’s what’s playing this week:
New This Week:
Shutter Island
The Ghost Writer (limited)
Kristin’s Pick of the Week:
It may not be Taxi Driver, but Scorsese’s Shutter Island is an eerie psychological thriller.
Also in Theaters:
Dear John
When in Rome
Edge of Darkness
Tooth Fairy
Crazy Heart
The Book of Eli
A Single Man
It’s Complicated
Sherlock Holmes
Up in the Air
The Lovely Bones
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.
