Greetings Travellers,
Another visit to the cinema today, to watch Fish Tank, meant I collected the pamphlet with all the new films being released in the next few weeks. There is a heavy load of good films comin' in the future - very excited.
First up, is The Army of Crime, directed by Robert Guediguain, who I've sadly never heard of before, but the movie was part of the Official Selection at the Cannes film festival. The cinemography appears to be in similar in vain to Romanzo Criminale and Meserine: Killer Instinct, which are only average and poor films. But, I'm not one to judge.
Released: 2/10/09 (Same date as Invention of Lying)
Secondly, Thirst, the story of a priest who becomes a Vampire, a shit sounding concept but a promosing looking movie nonetheless. Thirst is directed by Park Chan Wook, director of Oldboy, the best film I never saw after Amazon ruined me. The trailer looks cool, Wesley Snipes is shitting it in his little prison cell. There seems to be quite a large output of Vampire movies this year; Let the Right one in, Sexy Women Vampire Killers or whatever that piece of shit was called, Blood, Vampires and Science that is being released shortly as well.
Released: 23/10/09
I will make this one my last one or I'd have covered every interesting looking film for the next month and I need to write more blogs! This is a film that Mark Critchley should go and watch, and I might even take a quick holiday to Liverpool so I can go to the Abandon Normal Devices Film Festival. Yeah, the movies is: The Yes Men - Keep It Slick: Inflitrating Capitalism With the Yes Men. A very wordy title!
The Yes Men, keep it short, follows a group of political activist who create spoof events, websites and conferences and highlight how corporations and governmental organisations often act in dehumanising ways towards the public.
It's being held at Art and Design Academy, Liverpool John Moores University - 24th Oct/25th Oct and it's free.
