Weekly Roundup - Opening 12/12

This week wasn't too bad in terms of movies coming out, but there are definitely better weeks coming up. If anything, at least this week's new movies are easy to figure out. There's the below-average holiday family film (Nothing Like The Holidays), the should-have-never-been-remade remake (The Day The Earth Stood Still), the doomed-from-the-onset animated movie (Delgo), and two films generating tons of Oscar buzz, one for the filmmaker's stellar track record (Gran Torino) and one for the outstanding acting it promises (Doubt).

Weekend Suggestion:

While there are two great films opening this week, only one can win this coveted prize. And I'm going to have to go with Doubt. I'm a huge fan of superb acting, as it can elevate a film to a whole new level. Go check it out and watch two masters (Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman) do what they do best.
