Over the busiest Thanksgiving weekend ever at theaters, 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' collected another $66 million to up its domestic 10-day total to a breath-taking $233 million. But the holiday's big story was 'The Blind Side,' a fact-based inspirational sports drama whose second week business actually grew -- a rarity in moviegoing habits -- to finish second with a five-day take of $57.5 million and a total of $100.3 million.

'Blind Side' star Sandra Bullock, who plays the mentor of future million-dollar NFL lineman Michael Oher, is now en route to having her two biggest box office hits occur in the same year. 'The Proposal,' which opened in June, grossed $164 million; 'The Blind Side,' with the help of positive word-of-mouth, may easily surpass that.

In 2006, when Disney first announced they were finally bringing a black princess to the big screen with The Princess and the Frog, it was cause for celebration - long overdue, yet still worth celebrating.

The honeymoon didn't last long...

When 'Grace of My Heart' came out in 1996, Allison Anders had a reputation for making gritty features like 1992's 'Gas Food Lodging' and '1994's 'Mi Vida Loca.' This, however, was a different animal: a dramatic but ultimately bright-eyed look at '60s and '70s music that was loosely based on the life of Carole King.

Illeana Douglas is at her most appealing as wide-eyed Edna Buxton, a well-to-do girl who dreams of a life as a pop singer. But when a record company suit tells her "Not only do we have someone like you, we are trying to get rid of the someone like you," she turns to songwriting, mentored by John Turturro (as a hilarious Phil Spector type). Changing her name to Denise Waverly, she starts cranking out teen anthems for girl groups, a closeted teen star (Bridget Fonda), and tons of others.

When it comes to Oscar winners, it's all too easy to second-guess the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In several cases the members of the esteemed organization have made some seriously head-scratching decisions, especially in the category of Best Picture (many people still haven't gotten over 'Rocky' beating out 'Network,' 'All the President's Men' and 'Taxi Driver' in 1976).

But the Academy's also gotten more than a few things right, as indieWIRE notes in a piece that looks at the last decade's Oscars.

We focused on the past few years and found seven winners that we can't complain about:

Ah, Thanksgiving: a time when we give thanks and are reunited with friends and family. Only, let's face it, not all families are built like the Waltons. There's a lot of strife and stirred up when everyone is gathered under one roof -- so, in honor of the heaping spoonfuls of dysfunction that the holiday also brings, we offer Peter Hedges' 2003 indie drama 'Pieces of April' as your movie of the day.

In this bleak tale of post-apocalyptia, a father and his son walk alone through a burned and desolate United States. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape except for the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it's gray. The sun is gone, obscured by cloud.

Their destination is the coast, and the only way to get there is along the seemingly-endless road. They have no idea what awaits them there. They have nothing: just a pistol to defend themselves against the groups of marauders, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food - and each other.

Starring 'Lord of the Rings' and 'A History of Violence' leading man Viggo Mortensen and 'Monster' beauty Charlize Theron, 'The Road' explores family bonds and what it means to be human. Other stars include Guy Pearce and Robert Duvall. 'The Boy' is smartly played by youngster Kodi Smit-McPhee.
