There will be no film reviews today as there are precisely no films on at Cineworld Glasgow that I want to see. I’m not big on horror any more, so Halloween 2 isn’t an option. I’ve never gone for Gilliam’s fantasy material so Imaginarium‘s off the list. There’s that thing with that utterly unfunny guy from The Office in – something to do with lying. Definitely not interested. And some rim-com with some woman from Friends in it.
Annoyingly, three films I really do want to see come out tomorrow: Vampire’s Assistant, Fantastic Mr Fox and The Goods. I may catch one or two over the weekend. Next week finally sees the British release of 9. I cannot wait!

You want to see The Vampire’s Assistant?
It’s like I don’t even know you!
Trailer looks excellent! And I have been reading a lot of kids’ books recently (see earlier post)
Shame you don’t fancy imaginarium, i’d like to know what you thought!
Beth, I’ve had one friend say she loved it and every single other person (including magazine reviews) say “Erm… well…” which is how I viewed the liked of Baron Munchausen.
At least it was open.
A number of years ago (don’t want to work it out or I’ll feel old), I turned up at the cinema to find crowds of people screaming (WTF I thought), the place closed to the non-invited public, and Arnie strutting his stuff down a red carpet. The film was either End of Days, or The Last Action Hero, can’t remember which.
I was not amused.
Events like this should be reserved for Leicester Square only.
I remember a parade down Low Fell when Herbie Goes Bananas came out.
Perhaps Gilliam is an acquired taste. I really liked the Jabberwocky and still think Brazil is one of my favourite films. His stuff doesn’t always work… but it is never less than interesting – even when it provokes and “Erm” response! I haven’t seen Imaginarium yet but Mark Kermode (a reviewer I really rate) thinks you need to see it twice to really appreciate it. š
Gilliam is most definitely an acquired taste! I never could get my head round Brazil, though I seem to recall liking Jabberwocky around the first time it was on TV – though I was significantly younger than I am now.
Don’t get me wrong, though. I thought Twelve Monkeys was superb, so it’s not all of his stuff.
I heard Kermode the other day and I swear he said he simply wasn’t impressed with the new one?
