Ty's movie picks for Friday, January 11

Your to-do list:

1. Help the Harvard Film Archive kick off their re-opening by attending the four-day Ingmar Bergman retrospective starting tonight. (That's "Summer Interlude" above.) It's winter, it's grey, you're depressed -- what better time to bow at the altar of the late, great Swedish director.

2. "Zodiac" plays for one night only at the Brattle tonight. You missed it the first time around and now it's popping up in the year-end awards. There's a reason for that but you have to see the movie to understand why.

3. "Persepolis" at Kendall Square and the West Newton.

4. "The Orphanage" at the Common and suburban theaters. How about that? Great Spanish horror hits the multiplexes!

5. "Kings" at the MFA. I'm not terribly wild about this Irish movie, but some people are, and the grumpy e-mail I just got from the director is making me feel a little guilty.

6. Buy Jonny Greenwood's soundtrack for "There Will Be Blood".
