The weekend is starting a little early this week — with the major releases showing up in theaters today. If you’re heading out to your favorite theater this holiday weekend, here’s what you’ll find:
New This Week:
The Hangover: Part II
* Kung Fu Panda 2
* The Tree of Life (limited)
Kristin’s Pick of the Week:
This week’s pick is an easy one. Jack Black’s Kung Fu Panda 2 is a family-friendly sequel that’s even better than the original. Its eye-popping 3D animation might even make it worth splurging on the 3D upcharge.
Also in Theaters:
The Greatest Movie Ever Sold
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Everything Must Go
Bridesmaids
Louder Than a Bomb
Something Borrowed
Thor
Fast Five

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.
