First on Thursday I am going to BAM Rose Cinema in Brooklyn to see a preview showing of “Fish Tank” Andrea Arnold’s latest film to be followed by a Q&A with the director and one of the film’s stars, Michael Fassbender.

And later in the week I will be catching “A Single Man” at the Paris Theatre. I am also going to try to sneak in a mass-audience film in the form of one “Sherlock Holmes.”

I will post my reactions, etc. here.
