Naked ghosts, lousy best friends, and nasty next-door neighbors…! If you’re heading out to the theater this weekend, here’s what you’ll find:
New This Week:
Lakeview Terrace
Igor
Ghost Town
My Best Friend’s Girl
Blindness (limited)
* The Duchess (limited)
Hounddog (limited)
Appaloosa (limited)
Kristin’s Pick of the Week:
For some reason, only a couple of this week’s wide releases screened for press—and that’s never really a good sign. So while Lakeview Terrace is a fun thriller (especially if you happen to be a Sam Jackson fan), my pick for this week is Keira Knightley’s The Duchess. If it’s playing in a theater near you, be sure to check it out.

Frozen River
Disaster Movie

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.
