Winter Picks: Film
Here’s ten more things to look forward to during the snowy season
Japanese Cinema: 1960s Film at Asia Society (Nov 5–Dec 10)
From socially conscious screeds and samurai flicks to psychotronic spy thrillers, this quick survey of ’60s movies from the Land of the Rising Sun promises lots of sound and fury.—DF
127 Days (Nov 5)
Intense doesn’t begin to describe Danny Boyle’s docudrama about a climber (James Franco) forced to cut off his own arm. Ouch.—DF
World Cinema Foundation Fest at BAMcinematek (Nov 10–23)
The Brooklyn venue showcases another bountiful harvest from this Martin Scorsese–backed preservation group; expect restored rarities from Africa, Korea, Hollywood and beyond.—KU
Burlesque (Nov 24)
Cher and Christina Aguilera out-diva-ing each other? Could this be more enticing?—KU
Black Swan (Dec 1)
Remember when you pined for a semi-remake of Repulsion, starring Natalie Portman and set in the high-tension world of professional ballerinas? Your wish has been granted.—DF
The Fighter (Dec 7)
A labor of love for producer-star Mark Wahlberg, this biopic of boxer “Irish” Mickey Ward could very well be a contender come Oscar time.—DF
Tron: Legacy (Dec 17)
This one’s aimed right at the geek sweet spot; it’s for anyone who dumped rolls of quarters on light cycle races.—JR
True Grit (Dec 25)
Saddle up for the latest by the Coen brothers, a reportedly violent Western that honors the spirit of the John Wayne original while outdoing No Country for Old Men for ickiness.—JR
Another Year (Dec 29)
Britain’s Mike Leigh (Happy-Go-Lucky) tops his already sterling game with this lovely, restrained portrait of middle-aged resignation.—JR
Blue Valentine (Dec 31)
Two deluxe, full-bodied performances, courtesy of Michelle Williams and a balding Ryan Gosling, are the main attraction of this heartbreaker, about the unraveling of a hipster marriage.—JR
I hope the first single is "Spotlight" or the massive ballad. "Spotlight" is so jazzy, funky, sexy, and original. Love that ****!!!!! Feel like New Orleans JAZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Entertainment Weekly: Burlesque International Trailer Gets It Right
Quote:
If the first Burlesque trailer left you on the fence, you’ll definitely want to watch the international trailer below. It’s a better cut with a more relaxed-looking Christina Aguilera, more dancing, more romance (with proof that Cam Gigandet will run the full gamut: shirtless, shirts without sleeves, shirts with sleeves), more Stanley Tucci (imagine if he’d been in Showgirls), more Kristen Bell (with Julianne Hough), and more Cher. (Not only do we get a tease of her onstage, but we also get to watch her deliver the line “If you fall off the stage, leg extended, boobs up.”) Now, I’m officially in. And still curious about when we’ll see a great Alan ******* moment in a preview. You?
