September: - heard terrific things about The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby - A Walk Among The Tombstones may not be awards material, but Scott Frank is a strong writer and the trailer is eerie as shit - The Boxtrolls. All hail Laika! - as one of the few here who loved Cosmopolis, I'm insanely excited about Cronenberg's next, Maps to the Stars
October: - Fincher, duh - Birdman, duh - heard terrific things about Whiplash - The Judge will probably be all sorts of sappy, but fuck it, that cast will have me there Day 1 - Men, Women, and Children has a terrific trailer and cast, so I'll wash Labor Day out of my memory and hope Reitman hit a homer - Dear White People was the most talked about flick at Sundance, I'm excited to finally see this - Listen Up Phillip and Force Majeure-- both unlikely to make an awards splash, but both getting great notices from critics I trust - St. Vincent, can't rule out Bill Murray
November: - Nolan, duh - Fury, duh - Foxcatcher, duh - The Imitation Game, because I LOVED Tyldum's last flick, and early notices are insanely strong - The Homesman, because I love TLJ and Westerns - Big Hero 6, the first Marvel/Disney animation collab, love the trailer
December: - new PTA, duh - I'll see anything Mike Leigh does, so I'm in for Mr. Turner - Ava DuVernay is an exceptional artist, so Selma is near the top of my anticipated list for the year - as a musical guy, I'm praying for Into the Woods and holding out hope - not super excited for Unbroken, but I'm fascinated to see what early notices are like-- Jolie as a director intrigues me
Yeah, even if I knocked off half of these, there's still plenty to excite me about the upcoming season. My movies: http://russellhainline.com My movie reviews: https://letterboxd.com/RussellHFilm/ My beer TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebeertravelguide
