The London Film Festival has revealed its programme for this year and it's ever so exciting.
A Cock and Bull Story premieres; not so much to say about that except that it is a must-see and competition is going to be hard, but at least I have spent a good £24.00 and should stand a (smallish) chance to get tickets.
Then there's The Brothers Grimm and Gilliam is always worth a look, but surely this must go on general release and can strictly speaking wait until then. I think.
Kiss Kiss, Bang, Bang could be fab and equally a disaster...
Walk the Line reads like a Five afternoon made-for-telly extravaganza, were it not for the divine Joaquin and above-average interesting subject.
Manderlay is on but is bound to hit the cinemas after the success of Dogville so I should probably spend my money elsewhere, perhaps on the penguin film which everyone is talking about?
Or one of the vast array of Belgian film, always sure to depress you and sicken you in equal parts - that does not necessarily mean that they are rubbish, mind you - Belgian people even seem to find them hilarious at best of times.
There's also a small selection of Danish film, but, frankly, these screenings are always full of expat Danes who will use any opportunity to ask questions in Danish and flirt with the actors who attend.
There are so many interesting films this year that choosing is going to be a serious problem, not least for my wallet.
Well, and Raindance is coming up shortly, so this, I guess, is where all my money will go in the near future.
Now we just need a bit of rain.
