Have any of you film gurus heard anything about any of the films being show here this year? Since I live here I'd like to take advantage of the situation and see a few of these films during the festival.

please give any advice if you have any, otherwise I"ll just pick based on how I like the trailers.

I'll take a look at some stuff over the next few days and see if there's anything I know about.

There's a million fucking films, though.

I saw Hatchet last night ( http://www.hatchetmovie.com/ ) at a midnight screening. It was pretty kickass. Its kinda a hommage to 80s slasher movies. Lot of scenes that make you jump out of your seat, and a lot of boobs, haha.

And it was cool, after the movie the director (Adam Green), director of photography, and Deon Richmond (one of the actors) were there to answer questions. Pretty kickass for $12 if you ask me.

Today I'm gonna go see Five Fingers (w/Lawrence Fishburn & Ryan Phillipe), I'll let you know how it goes.

Quote :

"A startling cat-and-mouse thriller, Five Fingers is a brilliantly claustrophobic exercise in psychological intimidation and anxiety. A shattering look at the shifting morals of terrorism and covert torture, it plays like a game of chess where the wrong move leads to an excoriating checkmate. At the behest of his girlfriend, idealistic Dutch pianist Martijn heads to Morocco to start a food program for malnourished children. Shortly after meeting his British guide Gavin, the two are abducted by terrorists. They wake up blindfolded, in pain, and strapped to chairs in an abandoned warehouse. Headed by Ahmat, the abductors are skeptical of Martijn's altruistic motives. What ensues is a match of wits, one side outfoxing the other in an interrogation that intensifies with each harsh question and stern answer. Forced to question everything, and everyone, that brought him to Morocco, Martijn has only one choice: Solve the riddle of his captivity...or die trying. The mind games in Five Fingers are sure to have you speculating until one of the players declares checkmate. Director Laurence Malkin makes precise use of his tools: paranoia and claustrophobia. he cast is exquisite, delivering powerful dialogue, and escalating the tension with every subtle look and reaction. - David Kwok "
