I’m really glad for this thread as most of these films would fly under my radar if it wasn’t here.
I like animation and animated documentaries are particularly compelling to me, all the more weird since I don’t like documentaries. I would like to see The Green Wave quite a bit.
The others I’m not too interested in.

Red Hook is my most anticipated film of the year, expecting big things from it.

Another slim picking week, that is if you’re not into some well-known directors. Sources are IMDB and Box Office Mojo.
Red Hook Summer [dir. Spike Lee]
Time to go back to Brooklyn. After Do the Right Thing, I think Lee has had a very interesting time, doing everything from heist movies to sex comedies to war dramas, but what I don’t like about it is how few the good movies are. It looks great, but the vibe I’m getting from the digital cinematography holds me back.
2 Days in New York [dir. Julie Delpy]
Ooh, Woody Allen as a French girl! (kidding) I have been a fan of Delpy ever since Before Sunrise, my favorite romance movie along with Before Sunset, but it’s a shame how her career never quite took off. I haven’t seen 2 Days in Paris, but to anyone who has seen it, does it look like more of the same? Still seeing it because of Delpy.
Other movies are:
Meet the Fokkens [dirs. Gabrielle Provaas, Rob Schröder]
Goats [dir. Christopher Neil]
The Green Wave [dir. Ali Samadi Ahadi]
Looks like a Waltz with Bashir rip-off, not that I liked that movie…
And there’s a Max and the Junkmen and a Total Recall re-release.
