Something For Everyone: Tykes, Romantics, Splatter Mavens
There are so many good movies around this weekend that I'm burbling like Julia Child. If you're in NYC, don't miss Azur & Asma, at the ungodly hour of 10 a.m. at the IFC Center as part of the NY Int'l Children's Film Festival. You might recall that this film was added retroactively to my 10 (now 12) Best List of 2008. As a sucker for time-travel romances, I found The Time Traveler's Wife the best now-you-see-him-now-he's-years-away the best sci-fi weeper since Somewhere in Time. And dig those tall shrimp-from-outer-space in the splendidly splattery South African apartheid allegory District 9. As Julia so memorably put it, Bon appetit!
