MOVIE REVIEW
The Oscar race just got a little more crowded as Danny Boyle's 127 Hours enters the mix. An energetic, beautifully shot and superbly acted film based on the harrowing true story of Aron Ralston, a devil-may-care adventurer who finds himself alone and trapped in an isolated canyon in Utah.
