This week’s MSN Movies gallery rides the “Due Date” train, looking at ten road movies that find characters racing against the clock — you know, “Vanishing Point”, “Planes, Trains & Automobiles”, “O Brother, Where Are Thou?” and so forth.

(I almost threw in “The Straight Story”, but that deadline seemed a little too existential for the package.)

Anyway, it’s up there if’n you want to read it. And if you’re in downtown Toronto Sunday night around nineish, come down to the Lightbox, where I’ll be introducing TIFF Cinematheque’s Essential Cinema screening of “Jaws“. Twelve bucks to see one of the greatest movies ever made on a big screen. Really, what could be more important?
