Thanksgiving weekend is traditionally a big one for movie releases, and this year's no exception. Behold this week's Mercury Film section, bursting with reviews of:

The Road: Take the kids!

Fantastic Mr. Fox: Okay, no. Take the kids to this.

Bronson: This movie is seriously badass. Tom Hardy, you are officially forgiven for playing Jean-Luc Picard's Mini-Me.

Red Cliff: Let's just go back to this and relive Woo's glory days, shall we?

Ninja Assassin: He's a ninja! Who assassinates!

Old Dogs: Oh, fuck you, Hollywood.

There's other stuff, too: Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day opened but was kept far, far away from critics; the "Treasures from the UCLA Film & Television Archive" series wraps up at the Northwest Film Center; Gogol Bordello Non-Stop hits the Hollywood; Mad Max is at the Clinton.

More, as always, in our Film Shorts and Movie Times.
