I haven’t used this category of post in almost three years, so I figure it’s due for a good dusting off. Here, I’ll give you a sense of what I’ll be up to this month at “Marshall and the Movies” and what might be cooking at a theater near you.
F.I.L.M. of the Week
You might have already noticed (that’s doubtful), but I have chosen to move my long-running “F.I.L.M. of the Week” column from Friday to Thursday. The decision was manifold. First, I wanted to take advantage of #tbt opportunities on Facebook. Second, I needed the space on Friday to run reviews of new releases, which are often embargoed until opening day. I look forward to bringing the same underseen or underrated titles to your attention on a new day!
Paul Thomas Anderson
I hinted last month that I would post a recap of the “On Cinema” that I heard PTA give, but I wound up focusing all my efforts on finishing all my 2014 reviews. That and a ranked filmography will be coming next week to celebrate the release of “Inherent Vice.”
Golden Globes Live Blog
One last hurrah for Tina and Amy! I’ll be typing my thoughts the whole time.
Sundance Spotlight
The year always gets an injection of fresh energy from the outset thanks to Sundance, the American festival committed to highlighting new voices in the world of independent film. To run parallel with the 2015 festival, I will be publishing a daily review of a film that came out of Sundance – both the good and the bad.
A Most Violent Year
Finally, I can share my thoughts – January 30, unless A24 changes their minds.
In theaters
I am SO stoked for “American Sniper” on January 16. Holy cow.
In terms of actual January releases, though, the film that most intrigues me is “Girlhood.”
It’s going to be a good month (I hope!) – what are YOU looking forward to?
Marshall and the Movies 
I remember these old posts! Yay!
#GrandpaStatus
Beside the two you listed, I am so excited to finally see Inherent Vice and Selma (hopefully in theaters tomorrow!)
Oh and Mommy, which probably won’t even come to a theater near me. 😦
