Circuit Round-Up, 08/21

* Last week, Michael Ward reviewed Soul Surfer, 30 Minutes or Less and The Help, while Joey Magidson shared his thoughts on Peep World, Another Earth, The Change-Up, and Fright Night. He also declared Bellflower the best film of the year so far.

* Joey showcased a decent variety of releases for his DVD Picks of the Week.

* Mike reported on Rise of the Planet of the Apes holding on to #1 last weekend.

* I gave a somewhat bleak preview of the new releases.

* Finally, I decided to lend my thoughts to the controversy surrounding The Help and its accusations of invoking White Savior and Mammy stereotypes.

  1. Go see Another Earth if you can. You can hear music from it (the musical saw scene) on the composer's website: http://www.scottmunsonmusic.com/news/music-in-film-another-earth-soundtrack/
