I am out of town on a work trip, so I don’t have my usual time to prep everything and make snarky comments but I still want to try to put the list of releases together for anyone who can make use of it. Plus, the Sundance Film Festival is also underway so it’s a relatively slow week for new releases. However, there’s still some stuff I want to check out so let’s have a look.
