So the last I heard, the Borderlands movie is releasing this year on August 9th - my birthday.

and like man idk what to tell you, I do not see any way that this movie doesn't end up being dogshit. I almost want to watch it on opening day, despite the thought of this movie making me depressed whenever I think about it.

Everything - from the casting making next to no sense, to the radically different story drafts that have been officially released to describe the plot of the movie over the years, to the NINE YEARS of development hell it's gone through, to Eli Roth directing it, to allegations of a writer undergoing an Alan Smithee-esque alias to separate themselves from the project during reshoots, to Sam Levinson (the guy who made Euphoria and that terrible show starring The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp) somehow having his hand in the mess somehow - tells me that this is going to be a huge Hollywood turd. I think the production basically threw as many celebrities as they could get to drum up hype based on name recognition alone - Care Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Jamie Lee Curtis - despite knowing that it's gonna be a massive bomb. And I think it's going to embarrass a lot of those people.

I feel particularly bad for Cate Blanchett, I think her playing a character who's portrayed in the games as a woman in her early twenties to mid-thirties is going to cause a lot of people to focus on her age if they pan the movie - the tabloids have already run stories about her looking old in relation to her role in this movie. I feel bad for Kevin Hart having a camera sprung on him by Randy Pitchford so Gearbox could show a behind-the-scenes video at E3. Jack Black will probably be fine, dude is like Teflon, but it can't feel very good to work on a movie if the material isn't good. I don't even know what Jamie Lee Curtis is doing in this movie, but I hope she gets paid I guess.

Like everything in my gut and in my brain is SCREAMING - "THIS IS GOING TO BE A BAD MOVIE". I don't see a future where this isn't one of the worst movies of the year. I feel like by 2027, the cheap gas-station DVD release is gonna be on the shelf at a secondhand store selling for $3, max. And yet by the sheer coincidence of it releasing on my birthday, I almost want to subject myself to the trainwreck out of a sense of misplaced kinship, or bile fascination about sharing a birthday with the embodiment of studio malfeasance - for upselling a movie they know is going to be an abject disaster - and creative bankruptcy.

Now, granted - this is me roasting a movie that hasn't come out. I've barely seen any marketing for it, except a handful of very different story outlines over the nine years that this movie has been in production for. I'm judging the movie very harshly for its cast and for incendiary tabloid drama about the behind-the-scenes aspects of this movie - which simply aren't going to look good, given that it's a movie that's partway through production. It's like looking at a half-made sausage and saying that a restaurant is about to serve you raw pork. I'm being a hater. I'm being an asshole.

But this is one of those things where I would go so far as to blindly double down on my stance and dig my heels in for the long haul. I would bet actual money on the outcome of this movie's release being bad - I think it's gonna be terrible, but I would hedge my bets on it being a mere "bad". I'm convinced.

Canadian actor Gordon Pinsent, who starred in 'Away From Her,' has died at 92

Gordon Pinsent, the adored Canadian actor whose career hit its peak well into his 70s with an award-winning performance as the heartbroken husband in "Away From Her," has died.

Pinset died on Saturday evening at age 92, his friend actor Mark Critch confirmed.

The Newfoundland native, a household name in Canada for decades after his many appearances on stage and screen, became known internationally after his Genie Award-winning turn as Grant in Sarah Polley's acclaimed directorial debut.

His dignified portrayal so impressed Daniel Day-Lewis, who went on to win the best actor Oscar in 2008 for "There Will Be Blood," that he sent an email to Polley praising Pinsent's performance as one of the most "astonishing" he'd ever seen.

Those types of kudos tickled the modest Pinsent. Well into the final years of his life, the actor remained mischievous, giggly and often as giddy as a schoolboy whenever any praise was sent his way.

"Now you see, I don't talk that way about myself, so I was pleased -- it was just terrific," Pinsent said with a laugh in an interview with The Canadian Press of Day-Lewis's email and the continuing raves he was getting for "Away From Her," especially since he didn't garner the kind of international awards recognition some critics said he deserved for the role.

Pinsent was "suave, classy elegant, well-spoken," said Critch, a fellow Newfoundlander and family friend who says he became close with Pinsent after working they worked together on a YouTube project.

Actors in Canada are following "on a path that (Pinsent) cut through a forest," said Critch in a phone interview.

"He never forgot anything. Like he would call you on Christmas, he'd call you on your birthday, he'd call you on Father's Day, and we'd have a Facetime or a call," said Critch.

"I will miss my great mentor and this hero, this giant colossus of Canadian entertainment, but I'll miss my friend Gordon Pinsent from Newfoundland because he was an even better friend than he was an actor," said Critch.

Born in Grand Falls, N.L., in 1930, Pinsent was the youngest of six children born to Stephen Pinsent, a papermill worker and cobbler, and his wife, Flossie.

The actor described himself as an awkward child who once suffered from rickets. His schoolmates called him "Porky."

But by the age of 17, the previously shy Pinsent had discovered acting, and was soon performing in stage productions in Newfoundland and then further afield, in Winnipeg. Possessing a deep baritone, Pinsent also took on roles in radio drama on the CBC, and before long moved on to film and television too.

In the early 1950s, Pinsent took a break from acting and joined the Canadian Army, serving for about four years.

But acting remained his true love, and he became a stalwart on some children's shows in the early 1960s, including CBC's "The Forest Rangers." He went on to appear in dozens of Canada's best-known television shows, including "The Red Green Show," "Due South," "Wind at My Back" and Paul Gross's "H20: The Last Prime Minister."

Pinsent's film resume was equally impressive. He wrote and starred in "The Rowdyman," a Canadian classic about a troubled Newfoundlander whose best intentions go unnoticed by those closest to him.

Pinsent also had memorable roles in "Who Has Seen The Wind" and "The Shipping News," a major Hollywood production starring Kevin Spacey, Julianne Moore and Cate Blanchett. Pinsent played newspaperman Billy Pretty in the 2001 film, and also cheerfully provided lessons in perfecting the Newfoundland accent to the rest of the cast.

In 2013 he starred in Don McKellar's acclaimed Newfoundland-set comedy "The Grand Seduction," which earned him a Canadian Screen Award for best supporting actor.

But it was "Away From Her," a role that came to him when he was 76, that truly sealed his reputation as a "national institution," as Polley once described him.

The actress and director said from the moment she finished reading the Alice Munro short story, "The Bear Came Over The Mountain," she envisioned a film starring Pinsent as Grant, the bewildered husband who loses his wife of 45 years not just to Alzheimer's, but to another man. Pinsent was happy to oblige.

"She didn't have much convincing to do," Pinsent said in an interview in February 2007. "You know, you can be a working actor in this country all your life, and it's just terrific, but you don't always get the stuff that's a bit more challenging."

"Away From Her" was particularly poignant for him - his own wife of 45 years, actress Charmion King, died just a couple of months before the film's mainstream release, forcing Pinsent to re-examine the many themes of quiet despair explored in "Away From Her."

"It was something I wasn't necessarily drawing on except in the general sense of how anyone must feel at a certain time of life after spending so many years with a partner," an emotional Pinsent said during the interview, conducted just a few weeks after King's death from emphysema.

"It's almost impossible to grasp ... how do you prepare? Where does love go? Where do you go, the leftover?"

King and Pinsent had one child together, actress Leah Pinsent. Pinsent also had two children from an earlier marriage, Barry and Beverly.

Leah Pinsent was extremely close to her father, accompanying him to many events in the aftermath of her mother's death and honouring him in June 2007 when he was inducted into the Canadian Walk of Fame. She described her father as her "truest inspiration and one of my best friends" at the event.

Pinsent, for his part, brought the house down with his joke about fellow inductees Nickelback, the Alberta rock band.

"Nickelback! What can you say? I've got all their LPs and 45s!" he said as the crowd roared.

Pinsent's sense of humour, in fact, was one of his most endearing qualities, and was in full force during the making of "Away From Her."

At a pre-Genie brunch honouring the film in March 2008, Pinsent told of hijinks involving his co-star, Julie Christie, an animal rights activist and environmentalist.

He came to the set one day and told Christie that he'd bought a Prius, the environmentally friendly electric automobile favoured by celebrities.

"She said: `Good for you, Gordon.' And I told her how quiet the car was, and how lovely that was, and she agreed. And then I said: `All the better for sneaking up on the baby seals!' And she wasn't too happy about that."

But for all the outpouring of praise and admiration for Pinsent in the wake of "Away From Her," movie offers didn't come pouring in after its release. He got passed up for a role in a Tom Cruise film, and turned down a part in a Luke Wilson movie.

"I suppose if I was out there pounding the pavement and working rooms, there might be more coming my way, but that's just not me," Pinsent said. "I don't work rooms anymore. I tried that as a younger man and didn't like it very much."

After his role in the 1968 Steve McQueen movie, "The Thomas Crown Affair," and playing the U.S. president in the Milos Forman film, "Colossus: The Forbin Project," Pinsent and King lived in L.A. for six years in an attempt to launch his Hollywood career.

"I did a lot of stuff, a few movies, four pilots that didn't go anywhere, but I was brought down to play the president in `Colossus,' the Forman project that became kind of a cult thing with university students. So I decided to hang out down there for awhile, but it was because I started to write that I came back," he recalled.

"I wanted to work where I wanted to live. You could spend three or four lifetimes down there, just standing around waiting for something, waiting for good material to happen."

Pinsent, in fact, wrote his novel "The Rowdyman" while he was in Los Angeles, but wanted to film it in his beloved Newfoundland. The Pinsents returned to Canada and stayed put.

"I had a chance to sell it down there but didn't. I wanted to do it on my own home turf, and it cost very little -- it was coffee money for most movies, and it was great to be home."

Throughout his life, in fact, the actor remained devoted to his native province, returning two or three times a year to visit his brothers.

"I kind of need to go there a lot," Pinsent said. "I began to write from that place, from that perspective. But the family used to be much larger; it's dwindled now, even though my nephews and nieces make up half the island."

Pinsent's lifelong passion for creating never faded -- in 2018 he released a short film he wrote and self-funded called "Martin's Hagge," about a middle-aged writer burdened by a personified version of anxiety and depression.

"I really love writing ... writing is good, it's even better than good when you hit those peaks, and it's the same feeling oddly enough in acting. It's that lovely thing where you get that zone, that peak of joy, and it reminds you of why you started it all."

In early interviews, Hayley also talked at least once about wanting to work with Jessica, along with JLaw and Cate Blanchett. Anyway, I really, really hope they do a project together some day, even if it’s a play in London. I’d book my airfare the moment I saw the announcement. Following: 248 Followers:  420.

     Please Welcome the 9th Cate Blanchett Birthday                                          Project | 2023

For the past 9 years I have been collaborating with Cate Blanchett fans around the world in order to make something special for her birthday.

As the years go by, I find this project has grown to be more and more meaningful to me. It’s not just a way to thank Cate and pay homage to her outstanding work, but also, a way to see how she has influenced so many people around the world and, in a way, made them better: She made us change, she created a community that keeps finding new way to collaborate and create new, exciting things; she even inspired us to "create" a better world for ourselves and our surroundings.

This year, I have asked the fans to tell how Cate has inspired them. It can be an inspiration to do something new or to change something. Or even how she has inspired them to move forward and be better.

I am very excited to share with you this very beautiful list of people and their stories. I would like to thank you all for joining and contributing.

A special thank is needed to Mari’ Cavicchiolo, Simisek, Lil Bellyacher and Martina for helping me financially print the project and send it overboard to Cate. 

   Cate has received the printed edition of this project.                Pictures can be found on my Instagram page                            HERE | Watch the Project HERE

Roam if you want to, roam around the world 🌎

To say that the past seven weeks have been an absolute whirlwind would be a bit of an understatement. It began with an eclipse, and since then there’s been Hurricane Harvey and a very last-minute trip to London (surprise!) for the final performance of Road at the Royal Court Theatre …

#Eclipse2017

While a cloudy August 21 led to less than stellar eclipse-viewing conditions at Smithville Lake, it was still thrilling. In essence, it was like experiencing the quickest sunset followed by the quickest sunrise. It’s a good thing that I’d checked the weather forecast the night before and packed up my campsite early, because not even an hour later, the rain was coming down in sheets. Maybe I should’ve taken that as a sign of things to come …

#HurricaneHarvey

A strange confluence of events led to me being in Houston during the last week of August, just in time for Hurricane Harvey’s arrival. Let’s just say that it was certainly a memorable 32nd birthday. As the storm made landfall, I loaded up my SUV with my dog, my kayaks, and other essential supplies and headed down to Texas. Meeting up with my brother and a couple of my cousins, we loaded up a friend’s boat and spent the next few days helping get people out of their flooded homes and transporting them to the nearby shelters. I think my dog had the time of her life—Scout’s truly amazing when she’s been given a job to do—until it was time to be hosed off every time she got out of the water.

By the end of the week, we were all exhausted. Miraculously, nobody in my immediate or extended family was affected by the storm (no flooding, no property damage) and we were able to go ahead with the scheduled family reunion at my parents’ country house over the Labor Day weekend. I think my grandma was really proud of all of us grandkids. 

#LondonCalling

So, it turns out I’m really not chill with not getting the things I want, especially when I have the means to make them happen, and the next weekend, I was on a 777 to Heathrow. It was a really short, last-minute weekend trip, but it was totally worth it. 

I arrived in London and immediately headed to the nearest Waterstones and grabbed a copy of Nathen Amin’s The House of Beaufort (which isn’t available stateside til November). Interestingly, if I’d arrived in London a day earlier, I could’ve met dishy Dan Jones and Leanda de Lisle at Jones’s reading of his latest book, The Templars. Also interesting, on the return flight, the lady across the aisle from me was reading a book about Richard III. Luckily, we were both on our best behavior and a 21st century Wars of the Roses did not break out 😉

Did some sightseeing on Friday and Saturday, and on Saturday evening, I was thanking my lucky stars that I was in the audience for the final performance of Road. Such an electric audience that night. I’d read the reviews and they were universal in their praise of Michelle Fairley’s performance. As always, she absolutely delivered. The entire cast did really, from Shane Zaza as Joey to Faye Marsay’s killer soccer skills. As a hopeless Margaret x Brian shipper, I will say that I was cracking up listening to Michelle Fairley (as Marion) directing a string of profanities at Mark Hadfield’s character (Brian).

Stage door story time! If you ever have the chance to meet Michelle Fairley, take it! Those beautiful blue eyes are even more incredible in the moonlight and I am loving the shorter hairstyle on her. In addition to the play poster, I asked if she’d mind signing my Edith movie poster and her surprised reaction when she saw the poster may be my favorite thing EVER! We talked for a bit about that project, and when I told her that I can’t wait to get back to London in the spring for Julius Caesar, she made the cutest Yikes! face and said, “Oh gosh! I’m absolutely terrified about taking on that project.” 

“You’re gonna be absolutely brilliant. You always are,” I told her with a smile, and she seemed genuinely flattered and wished me safe travels back to the States.

Now, the cast was celebrating inside at the theatre’s bar, and MF was starting to head back inside when she spotted a couple of her friends standing around having a smoke in front of the building. So she was talking to them while standing with one hand on the door, effectively blocking the door as this guy inside was trying to exit. Poor guy tries to gently open the door before giving up and politely tapping on the glass. And that’s when MF lets out this huge laugh.

“Oh! I’m pushing when I’m supposed to pull! No wonder it wouldn’t bloody open!”

At this point, I’m still standing nearby waiting to see if the other cast members are coming out. Only now, I’m grinning like a complete idiot as I try to keep myself from laughing. But MF is looking right at me and, breaking into a huge grin, I tease her with, “Don’t worry! Nooobody saw that!”

That only caused her to laugh even harder. I mean, doubled-over, raucous laughing. She made this ridiculously adorable silly face, rolling her eyes and laughing at herself as she waved goodbye to me and disappeared back inside. BEST NIGHT EVER! And an absolutely perfect way to end a wonderful weekend.

Now I’m just anxiously awaiting any announcement on All About Eve (starring the one and only Cate Blanchett) and hoping the dates will overlap with Julius Caesar.

Let me just say that life is too short to not go after the things that make you happy, no matter how fleeting. To @mar-nu-falmar and @funnypic23: I am dead serious about fangirling the Fairley with you in London next spring. Anyone who’s interested in joining in on the fun, don’t be shy because the more the merrier! 

Happy travels, dear reader!

London Film Festival 2017 or: the real world sucks just watch films for 2 weeks

I feel like I’ve spent my entire student loan seeing things at the London Film Festival, which ran over the last few weeks.

Was worth it.

#1: MANIFESTO, directed by Julian Rosefeldt, 90 mins

- Originally a critically acclaimed multi-screen video installation in which Cate Blanchett plays 13 different characters, ranging from a school teacher to a homeless man, performing artist’s manifestos in 13 different scenarios. Part of the financing deal was Rosefeldt had to cut a 90 minute, linear version of the piece for a cinematic setting. Provides some super interesting results.

- Clearly a translation, but an interesting one. Making the viewer watch it beginning to end highlights the flaws in that translation from installation to cinematic setting (can get too much to digest sometimes), but when it works, it *really* works. 

- More than anything, made me think about the cinema as a space- question the realms of it and what we’re putting on a big screen. 

- CATE FUCKING BLANCHETT!!!! i am convinced no one could have pulled this off like she did. She’s running on adrenaline and pure bravery. She makes interesting choices at every twist and turn. A masterclass.

- You HAVE to be fully, super awake and willing to give this your full attention from the start. It’s slow and beautiful and wonderful... but it is slow. 

- Genre hops from scenario to scenario perfectly... from Clio Banard-esque social realism to Rachel Maclean-like cartoonish sci-fi. 

- Some things Julian Rosefeldt and Cate Blanchett said in the talk afterwards that seemed interesting (lots of paraphrasing): - The white cube is a prison... talking to people who already agree with you... Cinema has a bigger audience with more coincidental audience members-  Cate Blanchett fans from the new Thor film mayyyy see this... - Ask ‘would anyone be interested in seeing this?’, NOT ‘will anyone like it?’ - ‘If I could say what everything means, I should stop doing art.’ - ‘Your brain attends to things differently when watched linearly’ - ‘Art’s role isn’t educative- it’s provocative.’

4/5.

Opens November 24th.

#2: BATTLE OF THE SEXES, directed by Jonathan Dayton & Valarie Faris, 121 mins

- True story of 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs.

- Rousing good fun. A real crowd pleaser. I saw the Gala screening at the Odeon in Leicester Square... the perfect way to watch- with lots of people, all feeling the Hollywood-ised, over-dramatised, over-sentimental beats together... and super enjoying it. 

- It’s less subtle than MOTHER! (2017) about what it’s saying, but has a shining, naive optimism to it that you just kind of have to smile at.

- Emma Stone and Steve Carrell as King and Riggs hold all the moving pieces together. They add weight to potentially weightless, throw-away moments.

- All supporting performances great too- Sarah Silverman the MVP. Andrea Riseborough continues to be a chameleon, effortlessly embodying everything about who she’s playing, and it doesn’t even look like she’s trying. And hey! it’s super nice to Martha MacIsaac back on screen with Emma Stone! Their first time together on screen since Superbad (2007).

- The romance between Billie Jean King and Riseborough’s character Marilyn Barnett is easily the most engaging aspect of the film. The only time it leaves Hollywood feel-good territory. Something so magical watching them drive the sun-kissed California roads together listening to ‘Rocket Man’.

3.5/5.

Opens November 24th.

#3: OUR TIME WILL COME, directed by Ann Hui, 130 mins

- 1940s Japanese occupied Hong Kong. Fang Lan, a young primary school teacher, gets involved in the resistance movement and rises to become a legendary figure in the fight for freedom.

- STAKES. Really, really gets how to set up stakes for the characters. It’s a film about all the small things, the little fights in a war that will eventually add up to victory. Not assassinating all the leaders of the opposing army, just stealing a map that’s been put in a bin in an enemy outpost, hoping perhaps it helps. It’s a section of a larger painting. EVERYTHING feels dangerous. Every character is in danger at every moment, and is always punished for making the smallest mistake. Gives the sense that the oppressive State is ALWAYS watching. It demands you never become de-sensitised to the violence which leads to that immediate sense of danger.

- Had a restrained cheapness to it which I actually quite liked. Every now and then you get some goofy looking VFXs and some badly dubbed ADR, but the restraint keeps everything feeling grounded and human.

- Runs at it’s own pace/abides by it’s own structure, which may be too slow/anti-climactic for some, but I liked it for the most part. Playing by it’s own rules and truly being what it wanted to be... which sometimes worked and sometimes didn’t.

- The moments it steps out of the main story and does a docu-drama thing... just why? Came across so half-baked. Similar to the 3 time scales in Nolan’s Dunkirk (2017), there was never really a moment of release, an ‘oh! that’s a really interesting decision to do that!’ moment. Just left me kind of baffled to why?

- Genuine moments of magic that I wouldn’t dream of spoiling. Seriously some of the most creative, inspired scenes I’ve ever seen.

- Some guy (wearing a BFI lanyard??) sitting a few seats away kept repeating phrases from the film outloud in a strange voice? Why would you do this??

3.5/5.

UK release date unknown, probably some time in 2018.

#4: LAST FLAG FLYING, directed by Richard Linklater, 124 mins

- 2003. A Vietnam veteran recruits his two oldest buddies, who he served with, to accompany him on a journey no one should ever have to take.

- Richard Linklater continues to prove he can effortless hop between genres like no one else, but the film is still packed full with ideas he’s played with before.

- Performances are uniformly and predictably excellent. Bryan Cranston’s Sal is like the crazy friend of your parents who’d show up every few years in a beaten up old car and give you a pack of smokes for your birthday. Laurence Fishburne says ‘praise Jesus’ every 2 minutes and it’s amazing. Steve Carrell has a quiet dignity to him that’s really special. 

- Linklater knows exactly what he’s doing with his camera (water is wet), but it kills me to say it felt visually bland like his films never have. 

- Features the best ‘characters uncontrollably laughing’ scene since The Intouchables (2011).

4/5.

Opens 3rd November.

#5: THOROUGHBREDS, directed by Cory Finley, 90 minutes

- Two rich-kids from small town Connecticut hatch a plan together.

- Ugh, just.... what’s the point? It’s not boring, but every frame just had me thinking ‘why is this happening?’ So disappointingly transparent. I could see the director sitting planning the movements and cuts. Painfully ‘first-feature’ like. Should have been a rich, twisted delight, but was just so vapid and empty. 

- Olivia Cooke is one of my favourite rising actresses. Has one of my favourite performances ever as Rachel in Me and Earl and The Dying Girl (2015), and dammit I cry every time I watch her in it. In this... she does a good job with what she’s given. Anya Taylor-Joy is fun too.

- Badly costumed?? So rarely actively think that.

- Music was fun but as empty and ultimately weightless as the rest of the film. Felt like an afterthought to spice things up.

- Anton Yelchin’s character was the only person in the whole film I cared about. Brings a greyness to such a black and white film. What a fucking loss to the world man.

2/5.

Opens 9th March, 2018. 

#6: CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, directed by Luca Guadagnino, 130 minutes

- Somewhere in Northern Italy, Summer 1983, Elio’s life changes.

- Sun-drenched Europe, the smell of warmth and twirling cigarette smoke, deep blue sky- pure, breakfast with a glass of apricot juice and an espresso, the sound of bike spokes spinning lazily. 

I wish I could live with these people.

‘Later.’

4.5/5.

Opens 27th October.

#7: THE SHAPE OF WATER, directed by Guillermo del Toro, 119 minutes

- 1962, Cold War America. A mute cleaner at a government research facility, Elisa, strikes up an unlikely relationship.

- Del Toro just *knows* what he’s doing. It’s all so effortlessly confident. So rich and fulfilled. Such commitment to everything. 

- The first half is fantastical and brilliant. The second.... loses something. Still has moments of genius, but too much plot. Fizzles out in a disappointing way.

- Reminded me in a lot of ways of Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver (2017). Both are clearly projects the directors have wanted to make for a while, both have amazing first acts then don’t quite know what do with themselves. However, Shape has pure heart that carries it through any rough patches. It feels like it’s actually about something, not just an exercise in style for the director.

3.8/5.

Opens 16th February, 2018.

#8: LUCKY, directed by John Carroll Lynch, 88 minutes

- The swan song of Harry Dean Stanton. A 90-year old atheist’s life as he wanders his desert town, drinking, smoking and speaking to old friends.

- Pure magic all the way through. Plays at exactly the speed and tone it wants to play at.

- One of the most engaging ‘but nothing happens!!’ films I’ve ever seen.

- Everyone hits perfectly. David Lynch appears playing a character that has a pet tortoise called President Roosevelt for fuck sake.

- Bleak, but finds immense joy in that bleakness. Whenever I feel like I’m about to face the void- I will remember the smile of Harry Dean Stanton.

- 3.5/5.

Opens January 2018.

#9: BAD GENIUS, directed by Nattawut Poonpiriya, 130 minutes

- Thai Heist-Thriller about students cheating their exams.

- WHAT A FUCKING RIDE!! More stakes in this than most ‘end of the world’ superhero movies.

- The filmmaking is so good it makes you forget plausibility is sometimes being pushed. Amazing set-pieces. Expertly choreographed.

- Whimsical, but painful and genuinely emotional when it needs to be. 

- Every character is so rich and textured in their own way. So fully realised.

- Why do the last 2 minutes of this film exist??

- 2 years time, there will almost certainly be an American remake of this... and it’ll suck so hard. 

- SEE THIS FILM. SEE THIS FILM. SEE THIS FILM. SEE THIS FILM.

4/5.

Opens some time in 2018.

#10: THE FLORIDA PROJECT, directed by Sean Baker, 115 minutes

- In the shadow of Disney World, 6 year-old Moonee and her friends spend the summer playing around the Motels they live in.

- Pastel bright colours. Every person has survived a storm. Explore the wasteland of failed corporate America. Become a child again.

- Baker continues to masterfully blend fiction with reality, wrapping one in the other.

- Doesn’t ask you to like the characters. Doesn’t need to. One of the very best films of the year.

4.5/5.

Opens 10th November.

#11: INGRID GOES WEST, directed by Matt Spicer, 98 minutes

- Ingrid moves to California to become Instagram famous.

- An enjoyable, fun Saturday night film. 

- Elisabeth Olsen as ‘photographer’ Taylor Sloane is note perfect. Could so easily have slept-walked through it, but didn’t. Her relationship with brother Nicky is so, so good. Idea of this Instagram famous rich girl with her crazy, pill-junkie, roid-monkey brother who she knows is terrible but loves him and is sort of as vapid as he is- just knows how to hide it better. And man, he is SO evil. Haven’t hated a character as much as I hated him in a while.

- Plaza holds it together. Her and the film trust you to realise how mentally ill she is without reminding us too much.

- 1st half is superbly played... loses it somewhere in the middle of the 2nd act but picks up again at the end.

- Music was terrible?! Suggested some weird criss-cross in tone of the film.

- I GET IT! THE INTERNET IS BAD!

3.5/5.

Opens 17th November.

#12: You Were Never Really Here, directed by Lynne Ramsey, 85 minutes

- Gulf War veteran Joe is known for the brutality he inflicts on captors of the children he’s rescuing.

- Deeply troubled. Beautiful. Precise. Scatter-brained. Focused. A violin strung too tightly, then played by a madman. How can something so stripped down and raw feel so symphonic and wholesome? I feel like I’ve been repeatedly smashed in the head with a hammer... but enjoyed it.

- Jaoquin Phoenix. Lynne Ramsey. Johnny Greenwood.

- There are things in this that will play on loop in my head for the rest of my life.

4.5/5.

Opens in early 2018.

#13: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, directed by Martin McDonagh, 115 minutes

- A mother takes desperate steps to pressure local law enforcement to find her daughter’s killer.

- Perfectly woven and layered characters. I fucking hate the phrase ‘the character arc’, but if I were teaching a class in it- I’d show this film. 

- A film about relationships, and every relationship between every character or creature or inanimate object is perfect.

- McDonagh loves theatrical sensibilities. Nobody does grand, rich set-pieces quite like him... makes highly stylised situations feel real in the world he sets up.

- I could have watched hours more of these characters interacting.

4/5.

Opens 12th January 2018.

STRAY THOUGHTS:

- Felt spoilt in the audiences I had the pleasure of watching these films with. Always respectful.

- Every time Clare Stewart (head of festival) came on stage to present a film, I just couldn’t help but smile. Bumped into her after a screening and told her my student loan situation. I don’t think she knew what to say.

- DON’T WATCH THE TRAILERS OF ANY OF THESE FILMS. THEY SPOIL SO MANY OF THEM.

- I am consistently shocked by how enamoured I am with celebrities. Some weird conditioning in my brain. Am glad I didn’t queue up to get a picture with anyone. Saying that, this screenshot from a random interview I saw online where I’m juuuust to the left of Emma Stone will live on my wall forever.

ughhhhhh i’m a loser ughhhhh

🌟Happy Birthday, Queen Cate 👑 We celebrate your life and thank you for blessing us forever as Carol. 💋

May babies are the hottest 😉🔥 The short version of this post is "Happy birthday to the woman who changed my life with her portrayal of Carol Aird." The long, yet completely necessary, version is this: Happy 48th birthday to an extremely gifted and hard-working actress whose artistic expression and versatility is unparalleled. A performer who can evoke the deepest emotion with just a subtle look of the eye, tilt of the head, or tremble of the lip, cutting the viewer straight to their core. She is the very definition of the power of acting; moving an audience, truly affecting people, prompting them to see the truth within themselves, and leaving a lasting impression upon them. A flawlessly gorgeous woman who is passionate and committed to her craft, and an all-around incredible and gracious human being who is absolutely fearless in any project she takes on. I am so grateful and blessed to have had the opportunity to witness her perform live, as well as the chance to meet her; she far exceeded any and all expectations that I had. Thank you for being an inspiration and role model to the next generation of actors; I can only hope that someday, with plenty of hard work and experience, I can be half as good an actress as this legend- the greatest actress of our time, the incomparable Cate Blanchett. Cheers, Cate, you wonderful woman! 💖🎉🍸🤗
