New Mayfair January Schedule

The Mayfair (the NEW Mayfair) has just released their new schedule for January, which is also the first indication of what kind of programming they'll be doing under the new management. Some highlights include:

LOTS of James Bond:
Dr. No
From Russia With Love
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
For Your Eyes Only
Octopussy
A View To A Kill
Casino Royale
Quantum of Solace

some classic cult films:
Eraserhead
Showgirls
Vigilante
Mean Streets

some recent films:
Changeling
Choke
Rocknrolla
Let The Right One In
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

a lot of Asian cinema, the only one I recognized was Mad Detective,

quite a few documentaries, most of them about movies and the arts,

and it all starts off at the grand opening Open House (free, by the way) with some shorts by the very talented people at IFCO, and a screening of Fritz Lang's classic Metropolis, with supposedly "live music".

Looks to be a promising month. Between the Mayfair, Bytowne, and regular theatre schedules, there's about 27 films I want to check out in January, so I don't know how I'm going to pull all that off. We'll see, I guess.
