To watch
My only resolution for 2007: Watch more films!
Ok ok, also: Don't stop learning French!
I don't have much time to check movie listings regularly, so if you happen to know that any of these are showing and want to catch it too, drop me a line:
Borat (duh)
The Last King of Scotland
The Science of Sleep
The Queen
The Aura
Fast Food Nation
Running with Scissors
Volver
A Guide to Recognising Your Saints
The History Boys
Little Children
Marie Antoinette
Our Daily Bread
Shut Up and Sing (if they do show it here. Do we have a Dixie Chicks fan base here?)
The Good German
Notes on a Scandal
Quinceañera
Comments
-> my colleagues have seen it and they loved it. coming Jan 2007.
The Science of Sleep
-> reviews hv been so-so. Shaw is releasing sometime early next yr.
The Queen
-> we can watch it @ the bbq (u-know-what-i-mean).
Running with Scissors
-> very bad reviews tho' promising trailer & quirky cast. am skipping this.
Volver
-> we can watch this @ the bbq. saw half of it and got bored. pretty disappointing Almodovar.
The History Boys
-> colleagues hv seen it and say it's so-so. coming soon.
Little Children
-> colleagues and exhibitors liked it lots. coming in january.
Marie Antoinette
-> shaw is releasing this. looks like a mediocre film full of style.
The Good German
-> we're watching this next wk. verdict will be out soon.
Notes on a Scandal
-> we're watching this monday. word-of-mouth from regional ofc has been extremely positive.
Quinceañera
-> opening this thursday.
look out for Pan's Labyrinth (my fave film this yr) and Perfume too, which are to be released by Shaw.
colleagues found The Fountain too high-brow and didn't like it. Coming end Feb 2007.
Yeah, I forgot Perfume. Also, For Your Consideration, cos it has Ricky Gervais in it. I am so looking forward to this barbecue, where we not only will hear about your new career in film distribution, but also get to see you in... action :)
I'll be bringing mostly TV shows, though I also have Tsotsi, Good Night and Good Luck and The Lords of Dogtown (haha!). Anyone interested in any of these?
