Movie Review
Grade: B+
By about the end of January, I always try to see all of the allegedly award-worthy films that were released over the previous year. The reason? So I can compile an accurate Top Ten list. Needless to say, I never fully obtain that goal, as I miss some movies in theaters and they aren't released on DVD until months after the Oscars come about. Such is the case with In the Valley of Elah, the Paul Haggis-directed movie about a father investigating the brutal murder of his son after he returns home from Iraq.
