New to the Queue

More than one man can ever hope to see, I'm sure ...

The outre documentary about the political bloodbath in Indonesia in the mid '60s, "The Act of Killing."

The story of an Englishman who saved hundreds of Czech Jews during World War II, "Nicky's Family."

A timely documentary about online security and our private lives, "Terms and Conditions May Apply."

An untimely documentary about Chris Bell and Alex Chilton's influential '70s pop band, "Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me."

A timely drama about the fatal shooting of a black man, "Fruitvale Station."

A taut drama about a man falsely accused of child molestation, "The Hunt."

The Chilean druggy road-trip film "Crystal Fairy."

A look at a street hustler who inspired rappers, "Iceberg Slim: Portrait of a Pimp."

A documentary about a killer Orca, "Blackfish," coming to the Guild Cinema.

And someday, on a slow night, preferably on free TV, I could see myself staying tuned for most of Brooke Shields, Camryn Manheim, Virginia Madsen, Daryl Hannah and Wanda Sykes in the Susan Seidelman trash "The Hot Flashes." I know ...


Back in Line

Because of a busy month and spotty scheduling by the cineplex, I missed the short runs of both "The Bling Ring" and "Much Ado About Nothing."  Back in the queue for you two.
