But some critics feel that 'Brothers' also might help those at home understand what the men and women fighting abroad are going through. See what critics are saying below, then tell us what you think.

The Top 10 Movie Trailers of 2009

Where the Wild Things AreThis year gave us some great movies, as well as some fantastic movie trailers.

When you think about it, a trailer has a big job to do. It has to grab us with a few short clips, tell us what the movie's about, and make us want to gallop to the theater and plop down our hard-earned cash for a couple hours of entertainment.

First Oscars Handed Out at Governors Awards

Roger Corman, Lauren Bacall, Governor's AwardsIt's a given that the Oscars generally run long, but should honorary Oscars be shuffled off to a smaller ceremony? It allows for a more elegant, intimate gathering than is possible for the main ceremony aired on TV, but it also precludes film fans from watching classic stars and filmmakers receive the kudos they so richly deserve.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences honored four film veterans with Governors Awards at a dinner ceremony held Saturday at the Hollywood and Highland grand ballroom. B-movie producer Roger Corman,'Godfather' cinematographer Gordon Willis, actress Lauren Bacall (pictured, with Corman), and 'The Da Vinci Code' producer John Calley each received standing ovations during a presentation that included testimonials, toasts and clips of their work.
