Welcome to the first edition of The Digital Wire of 2015! This week we’ve got some cool new release news for your perusing pleasure. The holiday rush is over and the Oscar race is well underway. What better way to show defiance in the face of a group of smug multimillionaires suffering from “affluenza” than to watch the kind of movies that would send the average Academy voter screaming out of the theater? I’ve still never seen The Artist!

Aging and the collapse of the old Hollywood studio system has made Barry “Dutch” Detweiler (William Holden) cynical about the redefined business of filmmaking. Now a struggling independent producer exhausting what little finances he has to develop a new adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s literary masterpiece Anna Karenina, Dutch has traveled to a remote Greek island in search of the legendary actress Fedora (Marthe Keller). It’s been years since Fedora, once one of the most beloved stars of the silver screen, suffered the emotional breakdown that sent her into permanent seclusion and Dutch hopes to lure her out of self-imposed retirement to star in his newest production. But he finds his efforts to approach Fedora thwarted at every turn by her mysterious and overprotective benefactors, the haughty Countess Sobryanski (Hildegard Knef) and the ethically-suspect plastic surgeon Dr. Vando (José Ferrer).

But never fear, regular readers of this column (yes, both of you), for I have scrounged together a few stories of interest for this next-to-last edition of The Digital Wire for 2014.
