What we've done: January 17th, 2011

(I will get better at doing these... I will get better at doing these...)

- Chuck Bowen felt The Green Hornet was a buzzkill.

- Jim Emerson reflected on Another Year and the reactions to its characters.

- James Frazier thought Black Swan was... interesting.

- Craig Kennedy riffed on the Golden Globes.

- Simon Abrams noted the irony in the 70mm Playtime being the film to kick off the newly revamped Museum of the Moving Image.

What we've done: January 1st, 2011

First posts of the new year! Hooray!

- Lucas McNelly got a shout-out from Filmmaker Magazine in regards to his simmering A Year Without Rent project. He also had something else to show us, which I'll get to in a minute.

- Simon Abrams was unimpressed by Exit Through the Gift Shop. He also didn't seem too pleased with Jonah Hex.

- Mark Pfeiffer started a new screening log.

- Craig Kennedy noted all the new stuff now available via Netflix Instant.

- Paul Clark asked for help with the last-minute Muriel cram.

- Adam Lemke wrapped up the year with Devil.

Today's video: That other thing I said Lucas McNelly had to show us? This is it. It's a rough cut of a scene from Up Country, and I'm pretty happy to feature it. Good way to start the year, I think.
