The Perfect English Gentleman Is Nearly Here

poster_005It was released in the US back in September.

The past few weeks have seen it première in various countries across Europe.

Finally, and we do appear to be amongst the last, the good burghers of the United Kingdom and Ireland get a look in.

Thriller The Perfect Guy is set to be released in cinemas across the two islands this coming Friday (20th Nov).

The most recent global box office figures since the initial launch in America show the film has taken nearly $60m so far.  Half of that was in the first week.  On a budget said to be around $12m that’s a very respectable result.  Fives times the production cost should certainly put the project in to a nice profit.  Congrats to all involved.

To mark the release of the Sanaa Lathan (Boss), Michael Ealy (The Good Wife, on the left in the poster above), Morris Chestnut (Rosewood, right), and Kathryn Morris-starring film the Guardian newspaper here in Britain has today posted a little quiz about similar thrillers.  As most of these type of ‘ex-partner goes psycho’ films is the other way around gender-wise they are testing to see how quickly you can spot a ‘bunny boiler’.  Take the quiz here.  How many can you get?

Bone Tomahawk @ Abertoir Tomorrow

abertoir_horror_festival_618x206There is too much of the wrong sort of horror in the world.

The films at events like the Abertoir Film Festival in the mid-Wales coastal town of Aberystwyth are the right sort.

The screening of Bone Tomahawk starts at 9:30pm at the Arts Centre venue.

Tickets are in limited supply so if you don’t have a pass already you might be out of luck.  The official website has details.

All Roads Leeds To Bone Tomahawk Tomorrow

leeds_film_festival_300x300.jpgThe 29th Leeds International Film Festival has been running for a week now.

And it has one week left to go.

It’s a long one.

Bone Tomahawk will feature v. late tomorrow night (actually 1am v. early on Saturday morning) in a marathon within a marathon.

The festival is two weeks long (5th-19th Nov) and features hundreds of films.  Getting the middle weekend started is an event called ‘Fanomenon Night Of The Dead XV’.  The comparatively mild 9pm Friday night kick-off belies the serious nature of this endeavour: four feature films and a couple of collections of shorts.  10 hours later, at 7am, the last film is due to end.

Tickets, available via the official website, cover the whole thing and not individual films within the set.

SNOB Has Two Sided Coin

snob_film_festival_960x355As reported three weeks ago The Coin makes a return to the festival circuit in New Hampshire, USA.

Since the news broke the Somewhat North Of Boston Film Festival has released its full schedule of screenings during the three four day event.  The last day is a recent addition, which allows another viewing of a selection of short films.

The Coin will be shown twice, each time in a group of themed short films.

The first is on the opening night (12th of Nov) at 8:30pm in an 85 minute block titled ‘Friends & Family’.

Number two is on Saturday (14th of Nov).  It is a two part affair starting at 3:15pm with a section called ‘Searching…’.  After an hour or so filled with seven films there is a break.  At 4:30pm things kick off again with ‘…& More’ and another seven films.  The Coin is in the second half.

In both cases the short film blocks are being shown in auditorium B of the Red River Theatres on Main Street, Concord, New Hampshire.

More details can, of course, be found on the official SNOB website.

Cork Ready To Pop With Bone Tomahawk

cork_film_festival_680x212Another quick reminder of an upcoming festival appearance of the movie Bone Tomahawk.

Tomorrow night (that’s Monday the 9th of November) the Cork Film Festival will be showing the western themed horror.

The screening starts at 6:30pm at the Gate Cinema.

Tickets start at €8 for concessions and are available from the official event website.

The festival continues until next Sunday, ending with a screening of the new Toddy Haynes (Far From Heaven) directed film Carol.  The adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel starring Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmin), Rooney Mara (The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo, US version), Sarah Paulson (American Horror Story), and Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights), has been doing the festivals rounds for a while and is due for release towards the end of this month.
