Its been sometime since I’ve been able to post a recent Coming Soon list so you’ll notice that a vast majority of the movies listed are labeled new additions. With the sheer number of new additions I didn’t have the time to go through and check out trailers and reviews for some of them but I did try to label as many of those as I could as recommended. The Red Riding trilogy coming in March is certainly one that I have an eye on, as I’ve heard excellent things about it.
Of course the movie I’m most excited about on the whole sheet is the one being re-released this weekend at The Uptown, that being Rashomon, the breakout International hit for my favorite director, Akira Kurosawa. If you haven’t had the chance to see it yet, now is the perfect time to swing by The Uptown and watch one of the greatest films ever made.

Thanks! I’m pretty excited about Red Riding Hood. The Good, The Bad, and The Weird – boy that’s a little late!
The restored Rashomon is a real treat. I doubt it ever looked that good the first time through America.
Color me jealous Robert. Good news is that I have Friday off, so I might watch it 4 times. I’m only partially kidding.
No reason not to see it that many times. It’s rewarding. And the restoration points out that it’s not only a masterpiece because of it’s concept. It’s also shot beautifully.
I suppose I should add that I’ve seen The Yellow Handkerchief. William Hurt is really good in it, but overall it’s a pretty slight film. Not much of a road movie really, more of a character study where Hurt’s character tells his life story as they get closer to their destination.
Rashomon has been moved to The Lagoon. The White Ribbon will stay at The Uptown.
So, how many times did you get to see Rashomon?
Only once over the weekend, but I’m planning on seeing it again on my day off Wednesday.
