My weekly “Weekend Movies” post is up at Gothamist. I’m quite tempted to get tot he IFC Center for their Fassbinder “BRD Trilogy” marathon on Sunday, but that also means making it to the Village by Noon on New Year’s Day and sitting through more than six hours of Fassbinder. I’m not so sure I will be physically and mentally capable of doing so. But then again, considering that my New Year’s Eve plans are currently nebulous at best, who knows. I could be well rested! (Except for the fact that my roommates are planning to throw some big party here in my new apartment which would likely mean I’m going to be up until 4 or 5 whether I like it or not.)
Match Point is the only major new release this weekend, and I for one am excited to get to it at some point, maybe tomorrow. I also really want to try to make The Power of Nightmares while it’s still playing at the Cinema Village. I believe it’s there through next Wednesday or Thursday, but they’re only showing it once a day at 1:20 PM. Yet another movie that I should have tried to find a way to see at Tribeca last year, on DVD or otherwise, yet I didn’t.
