Nothin' but crud....

Although January and February are supposed to be the crud months, it's actually the after-Oscars lull that kills the dedicated moviegoer.

The art houses are showing the movies that won or were nominated for awards, even though you've seen them all already, probably when they were first released. The mainstream multiplexes are showing all the crud that Hollywood figured wouldn't fare well in the summer.

I may go out and see The Ruins. Otherwise, there's not much very interesting, and even that's only interesting because Scott Smith wrote the book.
