All Week
Alamo Ritz, Regal Arbor – BLUE VALENTINE
Don’t miss the two greatest film performances of 2010! Injustice will no doubt be done come Oscar day when Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams do not come away with statuettes, but we know the truth. These raw, natural performances are reminiscent of the early Pacino or De Niro efforts that turned heads in cinemas around the world. Turn your head toward these!

All Week
Alamo South Lamar, Regal Arbor – SOMEWHERE
Finally! The long-awaited new film from Sofia Coppola is here. Stephen Dorff reminds everyone that he is still alive as a celebrity dad forced to take care of his daughter (Elle Fanning) for a few days. If you’ve seen that trailer with the toned-down Strokes song, you’ve probably already bought your ticket.

All Week
Regal Arbor – RABBIT HOLE
I think we all could go for a good cry. John Cameron Mitchell (Shortbus, Hedwig and the Angry Itch) is on the scene, making Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart get sad. Since the 1980s, Dianne Wiest has been in at least one masterpiece per decade. Will this fill the quota for the 20-teens?

1/21-1/22
Alamo Ritz – ENTER THE VOID
Check out our review if you need some convincing. One of the wildest trips you’ll ever take in a movie theater.

Alamo Ritz – Terror Tuesday: NIGHT TRAIN TO TERROR
Zach is promising “the weirdest movie ever screened” at Terror Tuesday. If you’ve ever experienced this series, you know how crazy this film must be.

Alamo South Lamar – AFS Agnes Varda Retrospective: JACQUOT DE NANTES
Another week, another wonderful Varda film. This is Varda’s homage to her husband Jacques Demy. If you saw her autobiographical film The Beaches of Agnes, you know that remembering the past is one of Varda’s strong suits.

Alamo Ritz – Sommelier Cinema: VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA
Austin Cinephile hero Woody Allen’s erotic jaunt into Spain is now being accompanied by four delightful Catalonian wines, each representing the characters played by Scarlett Johansson, Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, and Rebecca Hall. They sound delicious.
