Our weekly look at what’s weird in theaters, on hot-off-the-presses DVDs and Blu-rays (and hot off the server VODs), and on more distant horizons…

Trailers of new release movies are generally available at the official site links.

The first week of January is even less eventful for movies than the last week of December. New releases, in theaters or on home video, are scarcer than character development in a Michael Bay film. Things will pick up when Sundance rolls around. For now, we only have a few repertory screenings to report on.
