Continuing series today include IFC Center's sadly expiring The Way He Was: Early Redford, Film Forum's baby-stroller-friendly Film Forum Jr., and MoMI's flaunting of its excellent, recently renovated screening space; the ostentatiously titled See It Big!: Musicals. The cinematic wim wam as follows;

Today's continuing series include IFC Center's The Way He Was: Early Redford, and See It Big!: Musicals over at Astoria's Museum of the Moving Image. Today's continuing replication of the ice house from DR. ZHIVAGO earns every expletive I and all other true New Yorkers can muster. The rundown runs thusly;

Among today's continuing series are IFC Center's The Way He Was: Early Redford, the Japan Society's trib to film scholar Donald Richie, Museum of the Moving Image's See It Big!: Musicals, and the Rubin Museum's excellent Cabaret Cinema series. The filmic hooliganism looks thusly;

There are no ongoing series to speak of this day. There is no warmth. No light. No heat. No conditions that would support life in our grand metropolis whatsoever. There is only January, my oldest and most annoying foe, and his spiking of biz at Starbucks and deep chiller of bones over the age of 40. The latter of which I'm only speculating about. Really. No, honest! I have this friend who gets these aches when the cold OH FUCK YOU WINTER!!! WILL YOU LURK OFF INTO YOUR SEASONAL GRAVEYARD AND DIE ALREADY?!?!?

To those of you true Cinegeeks who will let nothing short of holocaust-by-comet deter them from their cinematic fealty, today's series include the French Institute's CineSalon, repping some truly great Gallic cinema in newly restored prints and DCP, and the Kaufman Music Center's Silent Films/Live Guitars res ipso loquitor. The brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr doings be thus;

Today's two series are IFC Center's The Way He Was: Early Redford and the 2014 New York Jewish Film Fest, hosted by the Film Society. The short list be thus;

January, my bitter foe. You lull the New Yorker into a sort of meteorological Stockholm Syndrome with your wild mood swings; merciful and temperately friendly one day, applying the dreaded Polar Vortex the next. I'm wise to your tricks, old man. The crucifix-like talisman I employ against your seeming authority today? A reminder; just under a month til Pitchers 'n Catchers. Your end looms, foul spirit...

Now, onto the film sked! Continuing series today include IFC Center's soon-retiring-to-Utah The Way He Was: Early Redford, the 2014 New York Jewish Film Fest hosted by the Film Society, and MoMA's expiring Aesthetics of Shadow, Part One: Japan. The rep circuit shenaningans go a lil' somethin' like this;

Hopefully today's post is as accurate as I'm accustomed to providing, what with all this distraction over Bridgegate, by which I mean a recent dental procedure I've had go scandalously wrong. New and continuing series today include IFC's penultimate weekend devoted to The Way He Was: Early Redford, the Film Society's reappraisal of no-budget auteur Edgar G. Ulmer, MoMA's expiring Aesthetics of Shadow, Part One: Japan, and the Nitehawk Cinema's Coen Brothers Before Fargo. The amusement park itinerary as follows;
