This week’s list of DVD releases is filled with worthwhile picks (along with a couple of not-so-worthwhile picks). If you’re heading out to rent a new DVD this week, though, you’ve got plenty to choose from. Check them all out below.
Kristin’s Pick of the Week:
With so many wonderful (but unusual) films out on DVD this week, it’s hard to pick just one — but I’m going to go with The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. It’s isn’t a light or fun movie (for that, go with Happy-Go-Lucky instead). But it’s a stunning film that you won’t soon forget.
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.
