For Your Anticipation: What Are You?

The film that you should completely and absolutely avoid this week is from Prada to nada, and the reasons should be obvious. I don't know anybody in the cast list, and I don't know the director. I haven't seen the trailer, and I've only seen ten seconds of the clip below. All I can tell is from the title, and I can probably see exactly where it's going from there. The day I see this film is the day that I shoot myself in the face and survive, which would be a bit awkward because then I'd be walking around with a hole in my head. I'd have to start wearing some stupid hat.

Films To See In 2011: January

The year is coming to a close, which means that we're now headed into the cold season. It's always a bit depressing to go from the rich and enjoyable films of Oscar season to the barren and irritating first few months of the year. There's a fair bit of doubt amidst us concerning exactly how 2011 will do in comparison to 2010. I haven't a doubt that the film industry will do well financially, with an extremely fertile slate of Summer films on the way. It's impossible to tell what will be the critically successful films of the year, especially this far before the festival circuit. That will take a fair bit of patience.

As for the start of the year, it's obviously going to be a long haul. It always is. January is the hardest in terms of new releases, which is why I rely mostly on the wide expansions of the late 2010 flicks that I didn't see before the year was over like Another Year and Blue Valentine. There is the obvious crap that lies in the marketplace, and for once I am going to indulge in that crap. I'll be skipping the obvious failures like Season of the Witch and From Prada to Nada. However, at the time being, it looks like I'll be settling in to see No Strings Attached when it is released. Keep hitting up the poll in the sidebar before it's too late. There are only two new releases that I can actively recommend for you to see. Take a look after the jump!
