Definitely some films I'd like to see there. Must see if I can get a babysitter for my son...

For all Bollywood fans,

Kaal is being shown at the cinema as a part of Fantasy Film Fest.
I have watched it on DVD...it is okay...if u like suspense thriller come horror.

and its only 126 mins

I am away so will miss watching on the big screen...but would recommend it.

Oh well, "Sin City" was sold out when I treid to get tickets for it. But I am going to see "Empire of the wolves" with Jean Reno on Saturday instead and on Monday I will go and see "The Descent" from Neil Marshall. I can't wait for this one, seeing as I really enjoyed "Dog Soldiers".

I got tickets for :
Survive Style
Some
Casshern
Get Shorty (short films)
Chronicles

Let me know if any of you'll be there!

Don't worry about Sin City, I was reassured that it'll be on their normal programme after the filmfest.

Anyone interested in going to see "Land of the dead"? It not quite the fanasty film festival because its actually on the next day, the 4th of august but its the type of movie that should have been in the selection.

@UrbanAngel - Casshern sounds wicked! I was away on vacation for the whole presale period (damn) - what you reckon the chances are of picking up tix for that on the day of? I understand from the website that you can pick up tix starting 30 min b4 the first screening that day (which is usually at 3 PM), but I'm nowhere close the Cinema at 2:30!!! I could earliest pick up tix at 5:30...

Eyeing these as well:

Ghost in the Shell 2 (Sun, July 31st, 19:30, Cinema)
Reefer Madness* (Tue, Aug 2nd, 19:30, Cinema)
A Bittersweet Life (Tue, Aug 2nd, 00:00, Cinema)

Anyone interested in checking these out, let me know and we can sort something out!

Re: Cashern ...The wife picked up our tix for this one on Wednesday and we got two of the last four. I'm sure this is already sold out.

We saw Primer yesterday. This 'time travel drama' was written, directed, scored and filmed by an ex-engineer for $7K and then won the Grand Jury prize at Sundance last year (oh yeah, he also plays one of the lead roles). Very inspiring for creative types trapped in technical jobs.

@Urban Angel (or anyone else who cares to respond): What did you think of "Survive Style 5+"? I just read a review and am kicking myself for not leaving work early to see it. Was it really that good?

If anyone was wondering how Godzilla: Final Wars was, it was amazing.

I was going to post a review of the films I've seen but then decided no one would really want to read it. This has encouraged me to try and summarise the films I've seen, so I'll try after work as it involves thinking

IMHO - Casshern = complete horse shit

I agree.
How shit was that.
the best bit was the end where some people shouted exclamations of joy that it was finally over, whereas others (like myself) burst into laughter.

hey, i think i heard you! the guy next to us shouted 'YES!' when it was finally over after 2 1/2 agonizing hours! what a waste of time...and it sounded so interesting.

Row 8, seat 1 (Klappsitz). I heard that guy shouting too. The guy next to me kept sighing throughout the film, and saying 'Jesus Christ!' in desperation.
