On the Road Again: 'Water for Elephants,' 'Incendies' and 'Stake Land'

This week's triple feature showcased three road trips - one an old-fashioned romantic Hollywood epic, another a heavy mystery set mostly in the Middle East and, finally, a gory apocalyptic vampire movie.

I was a little surprised to enjoy "Water for Elephants" and thought "Incendies" was solid, despite a few bumps in the road. "Stake Land" was enjoyable enough, but no more revelatory than anything George Romero has been up during the past number of years.

Here are my reviews for the week.

I'm vowing to start kicking out some full length notices on this site - not just providing links - this week. Friday will see the release of Werner Herzog's "Cave of Forgotten Dreams." Next week will provide for a wacky double feature - "Thor" and Jodie Foster's "The Beaver." Oh, yeah - and "Hobo with a Shotgun."
