Need a last-minute holiday gift — or maybe just a fun movie to help you unwind after a long day of holiday celebrations? Here’s what you’ll find on the shelves at your friendly neighborhood video store this week:
New This Week:
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Mamma Mia!
The Cheetah Girls: One World
Ice Road Truckers: Season Two
Kristin’s Rental of the Week:
It’s tough for me to choose a pick of the week this week — since I didn’t really like either of this week’s feature releases. I’ll give Mamma Mia! the slightest of edges — but if you really want to rent a good movie, go for one of last week’s releases instead.

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.
