1. We’re rounding out our Art Movie March with The Last Station and The Red Baron, both starting this Friday. The Last Station was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for Christopher Plummer. The Red Baron is a fun European film featuring some great World War I dogfighting scenes. You can see the trailers here:

2. The line-up for the 2010 Citrus Cel Animation Festival will be complete in a day or so. It’ll be posted at www.citruscel.com.

The festival will feature the 2nd showing in Florida of the Oscar-nominated The Secret of Kells. You can watch the trailer here

3. We are very excited to be opening The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo on April 30th. This Swedish film was the highest grossing European film of 2009, and author Stieg Larsson was the 2nd highest selling author in the world last year (despite having died in 2004). It’s got a murder mystery based in Swedish history, punk hackers, everything. You can see the trailer here:
