Women at the Box Office the Weekend of February 22

Since the Oscars are this weekend, the pickings are quite slim at the box office. I got Amy Heckerling's I Could Never be Your Woman from Netflix, so that's on my list this weekend. The Independent Spirit Awards air Saturday (5pm EST on IFC) and of course the Oscars are on Sunday, preceded by the Barbara Walters special (on the east coast) where three out of her four guests are women (Ellen Page, Vanessa Williams and Miley Cyrus).

There are still some gems in the theatres for your watching pleasure.
