As the P&I screenings and the 50th NYFF itself draw to a close, this weekend in NYC, October 12-14, 2012, there are six new films opened Fri., Oct. 12 in area theaters that are getting critical raves. This seems pretty unudual. Actually for some reason THE THIEVES is only currently showing now in Flushing, NY and Ridgewood Park, New Jersey, so I can't see that. It must be coming soon to NYC especially since it's a NY Times Critics Pick. The rest I can walk to theaters in lower Manhattan to see except for MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, which requires a subway ride to 42nd Street.
Could one of these make it to my BEST MOVIES OF 2012 list? Stay tuned. I will try to see ARGO first. It has been hyped to death. The Metacritic rating puts it above MOONRISE KINGDOM and THE MASTER. I don't believe that, but the theme still sounds very promising.Ben Affleck's ARGO Metacritic: 86
Ross McElwee's PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY. Metacritic: 80
Ava DuVernay 's MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. Metacritic: 78
Dong-hun Choi's THE THIVES. Metacritic: 77 (this is the one only showingin New Jersey)
James Ponsoldt's SMASHED. Metacritic: 75
Martin McDonagh's SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS Metacritic: 66.
