Tonight is the night! And then...hmmm....
After the flurry of tonight's Academy Awards telecast dies down and I write my post-show thoughts (or post-mortem, depending on how the actual show and results are), March 2014 just may happen to be a quieter month of activity for Savage Cinema as major new releases are few aside from two notable ones...
1. Writer/Director Wes Anderson returns with his latest fantasia, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" starring Ralph Finnes and what seems to be the entire collective of players who have appeared in previous Anderson efforts. Aside from the film, which has already been receiving highly positive reviews from the film festival circuit--notice that are making my anticipation for the film even higher than it already is--I will also have a supplemental Wes Anderson feature, either before or after I see the movie, as a companion posting.
2. Also returning are The Muppets in "Muppets Most Wanted," the sequel to Actor/Co-Writer Jason Segel, Co-Writer Nicholas Stoller and Director James Bobin's terrific 2011 feature "The Muppets." Although Segel is not involved with this installment, it is good news to know that Stoller and Bobin are still at the helm of this new adventure which also features the talents of Ricky Gervais and Tina Fey.
Beyond that, I am honestly not sure what the month will bring and without such a crowded field and/or major plans to enact, that leaves the month more than wide open for any potential surprises, f need be. We shall see, dear readers. We shall see...
...And as always, I'll see you when the house lights go down!
