Honestly. I’m still looking forward to Traffic, 12 Angry Men and Rushmore coming in the next two months. Now Criterion has got my pocketbook pretty well tied up for the next 4 months! Ah well, looks to be well worth it. I’ve not seen any of these films, but Fassbinder’s Sci-fi spectacular has got me pretty stoked and since we’re using the Anatomy of a Murder promo poster for our Cinecast, I suppose I’d better actually see the film. Now’s as good of a time as any I’d say. And of course I’m always in the mood for some Julianne Moore. So below is the line-up and check underneath the seats for all of the trailers.
