Too many movies!!!

Filmmakers schedule for January is chock full of great films. Looks like I'll be spending my January evenings and all my Christmas money at the movies!

Let the Right One In Jan 1-8 Harris
Swedish vampire film! I've watched the trailer three times and I'm more creeped out every time. I was sad I missed seeing this with Mike and Tessa the other night but I have big plans to see it this afternoon! Most likely alone, but that's okay.


Diva Jan 5-8 Regent Square
French film from the 80s about a postman who bootlegs a performance of his favorite opera singer. Looks amazing.


The Pool Jan 9-11 Harris trailer
This is Chris Smith's(American Movie)new film. This was one of the films I wanted to see at the film festival but was too consumed by school work to go see. It probably would have done me some good to have taken a break and see it, but I'm very happy that I get a second chance.


Vertigo Jan 11 Regent Square
It took me several viewings to get into this but now it's one of my all-time favorite films. Interesting, it was watching the film on a laptop that made me love it. It's going to be incredible to see it on the big screen. Here's the trailer:

Regent square is showing Hitch films that feature Bernard Herrmann scores every Sunday this month. I've seen both Psycho and The Birds in theaters several times, but I'm tempted to see them both again.


Frozen River Jan 16-18 Harris
Melissa Leo from Homicide!


Fear(s) of the Dark Jan 30-31 Melwood
Animated horror shorts that Tessa posted about this a few months ago. It would have been sweet to see around Halloween, but gloomy old January is kind of a month for creeps too.


Ballast Jan 30-Feb 5 Harris
Another film I missed that was at the film festival. Looks a little like early David Gordon Green and a lot like amazing.

And that's not all: Man on Wire and Chop Shop, two films I saw and loved this year will be showing, and I wouldn't mind seeing Dear Zachary or I've Loved You So Long.
