So… Whats everyone going to see?

Im proper looking forward to:

A Complete History of my Sexual Failures (http://youtube.com/watch?v=mFQC87w-BmM)

Just Another Love Story

Red

Pageant (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wjv-I56qS5M)

Very Young Girls (http://youtube.com/watch?v=7fX6EaHuRCg)

I’m looking forward to all these films in VERY DIFFERENT WAYS, I’d like to add. Pageant and Very Young Girls, for example, could not be any more different.

Anyone got any good recommendations?

I’m going to Better Things with high expectations. Heroin and the Cotswolds seems like an interesting combo.

Of the films I’ve seen so far, I’d highly recommend The Visitor, Bigga Than Ben, Elite Squad and Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day.

‘A Complete History…’ was pretty funny, but it was a bit scattered and Channel 4 about things, you know? It played up the jokey elements, when in fact the guy was clearly falling to pieces at points.

I saw that one about the Russian blokes who scam London, it was quality and from a real life story. The way they got money out of the system made the British banks look like total thickos.

I caught Captain Abu Raed, which totally blew me away, heartfelt, thoughtful and genuine. Superb film.
