Rudi and I traditionally spend New Year’s Eve at the movies. It started out with just seeing one movie, but has morphed into seeing anywhere from two to four, depending on what’s playing where and when — and if anyone else wants to go with us.
It currently looks like it will just be Rudi and me on our own this year, but what still remains up in the air is what we’ll see. Because we live in a major city, we are lucky in that many of the Oscar contenders open here at year’s end to be eligible for the award season.
Does anyone have suggestions for movies to see? Things that you’ve seen in the last few weeks that might still be playing here? Shows you’ve heard good buzz about? Films featuring a favorite star?
We didn’t make it into the advance screening of the George Clooney movie, Up in the Air, last week, so that’s definitely on our long list. (Calling it that suggests there is more than one film on it at the moment. I’m just thinking ahead right now…)
Leave us tips in the comments…
Nine, Sherlock, It’s Complicated – there’s a good group this year!

Good luck!
@Jingle: That’s very true, but since we’re in a big metro area, we get pretty much everything here.
@Mum: No Alec Baldwin. Otherwise, good options.
