Now through February 7, LACMA is holding an exhibition on comic books from India. “Heroes and Villains: The Battle for Good in India’s Comics” places modern-day comic retellings of Indian myths alongside the museum’s historical collection of Indian paintings, “[examining] the legacy of India’s divine heroes and heroines in contemporary South Asian culture through the comic book genre.”

On January 15 and 16, the LACMA Film Program will hold a spotlight on French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo, who is receiving a Career Achievement Award from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. Three films will be screened: “Mississippi Mermaid,” “Pierrot le fou,” and “Stavisky.” This month’s “Weekend Series” is entitled “The Apocalyptic Cinema of Andrei Tarkovsky” and the museum will also be holding a preview screening of the Italian director Marco Bellocchio’s “Vincere,” among many other films.

Four Jim Sheridan films are coming up at the Aero Theatre, followed by recent hits such as “Paranormal Activity,” “Broken Embraces,” “The Maid,” and “Crazy Heart,” and then a very nice John Ford retrospective.

The controversial “Antichrist” has been paired with 1968’s “Hour of the Wolf” at the New Beverly Cinema, followed by the famed Alejandro Jodorowsky’s “Santa Sangre.” Director Stuart Gordon has personally selected some great films and late January is a double bill of “Double Indemnity” and “The Blue Dahlia.” Be sure to visit their calendar for other great selections and and like usual a wide array of interesting guests.

Meanwhile, Cinefamily seems to be on a sort of hiatus and regular programming will return next month.
