New to the Queue

Glorious bounty ...

OOOH! It's a rollicking documentary about one of my favorite bands ever, "Revenge of the Mekons."

I'm at least curious about the new Godard film, even if I probably will never find a place that shows it in 3-D, "Goodbye to Language."

The latest from Bennett Miller ("Capote," "Moneyball"), another short title, "Foxcatcher."


The arty feature film debut from Josephine Decker, "Butter on the Latch."

I could easily be lured to the "Bodyguard"-like rom-com-drahm "Beyond the Lights."

A drama about a musician working as a New York taxi driver, "Love Hunter."

MORE DOCS
A look at polygamy in Bali, "Bitter Honey."

We might get back on the horse with the great Frederick Wiseman and his three-hour surreptitious look at a British institution, "National Gallery."

A study of a B-list actor pushing 40 and struggling with relationship and career, "Actress."

A chronicle of the French businessman who helped end apartheid, "Plot for Peace."

The story of a group in Tanzania who live as simple hunter-gatherers, "The Hadza: Last of the First."

Revisiting the great '80s-era Soviet hockey team, "Red Army."

A look at a former Pennsylvania steel town -- described by the New York Times as a "blue-collar poem threaded with old-timer memories and present-day pain" -- "Braddock America."

The story of a 21-year-old running for city council in Stockton, Calif., "True Son."

BONUS TRACK 
Jon Langford and Sally Timms from the Mekons singing an Alejandro Escovedo song:
