my week at the movies: ‘Miracle at St. Anna,’ ‘Ghost Town,’ ‘The Duchess,’ ‘Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist,’ ‘Blindness,’ ‘Appaloosa,’ ‘Towelhead’

Keira Knightley gets into corsets -- again -- for The Duchess [opens limited September 19]. Spectacular costumes and British accents? I’m there. Also: Ralph Fiennes plays her husband. Yum.

I don’t know anything about Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist [opens wide October 3] except that that is a wonderful title, and also that it stars Michael Cera, who, if I were 16 again, I’d be madly in love with, he’s so sweet.

I’ve mentioned before that I’m looking forward to Blindness [opens wide September 26], and I’m glad I’ll have to chance to see it before I leave for England. Man, I’m gonna have a lot of reviews to write on the plane.

I’m gonna miss all the press screenings of Appaloosa [opens in New York, Toronto, and Los Angeles September 19, wide October 3], but my plan at the moment is to catch it when it opens here on Friday, so I can review it before it goes wide. I may do a double feature with Towelhead, which is already playing here in NYC but continues to expand, because I’ve been hearing good things about it from my fellow critics.

I know I’m officially Dreading My Best Friend’s Girl, which opens wide September 19 but won’t screen for critics (at least as far as I can determine), but I think I won’t have time to see it. I may have to just keep dreading it until it comes out on DVD.
