A New Year – and a new list of movies. To Be honest, I intended to write again about Louis C.K’s descend into despair, I wanted to start the new year on a positive note.

So instead of writing about Louis’s latest antics, let’s make a brief introduction to all the great movies we’ll be able to see in cinema theaters this month.

January is a bit dry month for movies, since there’s plenty of award ceremonies and the annual Sundance film festival in this month, but let’s try and pick the most promising 5 of them. Shall we?
