\"\"In addition to our holdovers of Plan A<\/em> <\/strong>and 1982,<\/em><\/strong> we’re adding four new titles this weekend to New Plaza Cinema’s\u00a0lineup at Macaulay Honors College, one of which I previewed last week \u2014\u00a0Dead for a Dollar<\/em><\/strong>, rhapsodized\u00a0by\u00a0the NY Times’ <\/em>Tony Scott as “Director Walter Hill’s lean, mean western (with an aces cast: Christoph Waltz, Willem Dafoe and Rachel Brosnahan) and a master class in the craft of the B movie…also a reminder that Hill\u00a0\u2014 who at 80 has had a career including cult classics (The Warriors, The Long Riders<\/em>) and smash hits (48 HRS<\/em>)\u00a0\u2014 is a master in his own right, whose artistry has often been overlooked and undervalued.”\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

Those of us who still remember\u00a0\u2014 and cherish\u00a0\u2014 such masters of the western as Howard Hawks, Anthony Mann, Budd Boetticher, and Sam Peckinpah will know exactly what Mr. Scott and I are talking about. For the rest of us, this just might be a perfect introduction to a great American movie art form.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We’ll be doing an additional screening of Dead for a Dollar<\/strong><\/em> on the weekend of Oct 21-23.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also new this week:\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Riotsville USA<\/strong><\/em>, a scorching documentary that depicts the federal government’s responses to the violent activism of the 1960s.\u00a0Per the NY Times’<\/em> Glenn Kenny, “the Riotsville of the title is the name of a fake town built as a training ground for law enforcement, in which riot story lines were enacted by soldiers.”\u00a0The film’s intense mix of found archival footage, period talk shows and the chronicle of one very progressive public TV station paint a rich, disturbing, “plus-ca-change”\u00a0portrait of an era.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n
  • Last Flight Home<\/strong><\/em>: Ondi Timoner, who previously gave us the first-rate documentaries Dig!<\/em> and We Live in Public,<\/em> turns to recording the final days of her 92-year-old father, Eli who chose to die under California’s End of Life Act.\u00a0In his Critic’s\u00a0Pick review, the NY Times’<\/em> Ben Kenigsberg calls it “moving, boundlessly humane…at once a memorial to Eli, the last of that generation of the family to die, and \u2014\u00a0almost incidentally \u2014 a philosophical argument about how death can be faced well.”<\/li>\n
  • Argentina, 1985<\/strong><\/em>: Director Santiago Mitre, whose The Student <\/em>was a highlight of the 2011 NY Film Festival,\u00a0 works on a bigger canvas in his new film. The NY Times’<\/em> reviewer wrote,\u00a0 “Like a pair of old wingtips polished with wax, Argentina, 1985<\/em><\/strong> spins a notable piece of history into an impassioned courtroom drama flecked with quaint humor. The movie centers on the Trial of the Juntas, a milestone Argentine case in which a civilian court tried former military leaders for brutal crimes committed while the country was under a right-wing dictatorship.”\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    New Plaza Cinema is grateful to Amazon Studios for offering us some big-screen play on this movie ahead of its streaming premiere.<\/p>\n
