In a variation on New to the Queue, we list the past two weeks' openings in New York City, which we would be bingeing on if we happened to live there this week:
Two of the most anticipated films of the year: Michael Keaton spoofing his own career highlight as a superhero in Alejandro Inarritu's "Birdman," and the return of Alex Ross Perry ("The Color Wheel") snagging Jason Schwartzman, who plays a variation on his "Bored to Death" writer, in "Listen Up Philip."
The impressive debut of Justin Simien, "Dear White People."
For a quick pick-me-up, a documentary about genocide, "Watchers of the Sky."
Another doc, a sympathetic one about the hero/traitor Edward Snowden, from PBS "POV" trailblazer Laura Poitras, "Citizenfour."
Lynn Shelton stumbled last time out, and we're not big fans of Keira Knightley, but we'll check out "Laggies."
A Swedish film about a relationship, with avalanches as a metaphor (nice), "Force Majeure."
A look at a fading artist losing the battle against Alzheimer's, "Glen Campbell ... I'll Be Me."
A discussion of film, music, culture and divine intervention from the Pop Zeus.
