October Highlights for i luv cinema

As we enter the merry month of October, here are a couple of things I am “cinematically” looking forward to:

1. SKYFALL SKYFALL! 26th of October, BFI – ’nuff said!

2. TCM – Wednesdays in October – Classic Horror. Of particular interest to me are:

The Haunting
The Uninvited
Dead of Night
The Innocents (really, really creepy)

3. In the category of “I always wanted to see it but now that it has received the Criterion treatment, I am reminded that I wanted to see it.” I speak of John Schlesinger’s Sunday Bloody Sunday, which is scheduled for release this month.

4. Last and certainly not least this month I celebrate my 5th Anniversary as a blogger! More fun stuff to come in the coming weeks 🙂 In fact, my official “birthday” was October 1st!

Weekend Top 4

Here’s a look at what I would consider the “Top 4” (in terms of profile) openings this weekend:

Looper

Hotel Transylvania

Won’t Back Down (see yesterday’s review for my thoughts on this one)

Pitch Perfect

In all honesty, this does not look like too bad of a weekend, especially after the past few weeks. I would not actually mind seeing Pitch Perfect myself. Based on what I have read in the blogosphere, I suspect that many of you will be catching Looper 😉

Share your thoughts and plans below in the comments section.

Have a great weekend!

What I Learned This Week …

As this week draws to a close I have decided to take a look back at my observations into the week’s cinematically-related news.

1) Seeing The Birds on the big screen is an impressive experience. Well I have already waxed poetic about the virtues of the Hitchcock classic earlier this year so I will not go into great detail here. But this past Wednesday I had the privilege of seeing the horror classic as part of the ongoing Fathom Events/TCM collaboration. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of people who were in my screening – in fact, I had to sit very close to the screen.

2) In other Hitch news, the newly released poster for the upcoming Anthony Hopkins-starrer has been in full circulation. The film is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film Psycho. Best news yet — it is coming out in November!

3) I catching Bond Fever! – I do not consider myself a huge 007 fan but since securing my place at an Opening Day screening at the BFI IMAX cinema next month, I can hardly contain my excitement. I am even in the process of looking back and seeing what I missed (primarily the Sean Connery years). Any audience recommendations at this point are greatly appreciated.
