Thinking Outside the Multiplex in Indiana (February 17, 2012)

Okay folks here’s the deal. I’m scheduled to go into a six week trial in 10 days. I’ll be working heavy overtime and while I’m still planning to publish weekly, after today’s edition it’ll be a barebones version until the verdict comes in. I’ll see you on the other side. Read more

In Indianapolis, Pina opens at the AMC Castleton, the Oscar-nominated shorts program at the KAC, and for anime fans, FMA: The Sacred Star of Milos at the G14. Fort Wayne gets a competing program of comedy short films at the Carmike 20 and there are still lots of opportunities to see The Artist around the state. And much, much more- it’s a good week when there’s too much to summarize in this intro. What are you seeing? Read more

A bunch of movies whose titles start with the letter “A” and a couple of other films hold over in Indianapolis and in some cases elsewhere. What looks good to you? Read more

The Artist got a big boost from the Oscar nominations and expands beyond the Indy metro area at last. Meanwhile Albert Nobbs, which garnered acting nominations for Glenn Close and Janet McTeer, opens at the Castleton and southside AMCs in Indianapolis (but not the KAC). A Dangerous Method opens at a surprisingly large number of theaters state wide (even without Oscar’s imprimatur) and a second movie starring Michael Fassbender, Shame, starts at the Keystone Art Cinema. All that plus a good lineup of repertory and festival screenings. What looks good to you this weekend? Read more

The Golden Globes aren’t completely pointless: The Artist is expanding following on its best picture win there. Carnage crashed and burned on takeoff, retracting from 11 theaters in its first week to one in its second. Although still in limited release (as in, not playing everywhere), Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Iron Lady, and The Descendants have expanded beyond the scope of this column. My Week With Marilyn holds on at a few theaters to continue a very respectable run. More details on these films and the rest of the week’s “outside the multiplex” listings after the break. Read more

No new openings in another quiet week outside the multiplex- although with six movies listed not quite as quiet as last week. The good news is that part of the reason pickings are slim is that quality movies for adults are currently vying for our attention inside the multiplex. More good news: winter break ends next week on the repertory theater circuit. Read more

Featuring a grand total of five movies, this is undoubtedly the slowest week “outside the multiplex” since I’ve been writing TOTM in IN, and quite possibly the slowest week since the feature’s been in existence. Which is not to say that there’s nothing to see: The Artist and Don 2 open in Indianapolis and The Descendants and My Week With Marilyn expand to enough theaters around the state to be almost outside the scope of this column. I know I’m excited about The Artist. What looks good to you? Read more

No new limited release films opening this week in-state and the repertory screening section is comparatively slim due to the university towns going on winter break. The paucity of new options is probably just as well- there’s plenty in theaters to catch up on, and better than usual Hollywood fare in the pipeline as well. What are your moviegoing priorities this week? Read more
