The Annual Festivites

Posted by Damian on 4 August 2009 | 0 Comments

It's that time of year again - The New Zealand International Film Festival. This time I've been lazy and have waited until the after the first week of the festival to take my picks and also find myself not extremely motivated by this year's offerings. There's no doubt a lot of gems exist but I pretty much glanced over them all in the time it took for my newfound bus route to deliver me home.

I am kidding myself as I know I won't see most if any of the following:

• Flame & Citron
• OSS 117 - Lost in Rio
• Paper Soldier
• Moon - Looks not unlike 2001: Space Odyssey
• Adventureland
• Red Cliff
• The Limits of Control
• Birdsong
• Dogtooth
• Unmade Beds
• The Sky Crawlers - I lurve Ghost in the Shell
• Dead Snow - Zombie Nazis?! Combined with Iron Sky to make a damn crazy awesomely bizarre double-feature!

We'll see which features I manage to go see and those that are destined for my fatso movie list.
