Celebrity Kart Racing Toy Drive – Dec 2007 – Lap 2

toy_drive_017I[t] coulda been a contender!

toy_drive_007KM UK’s 2015 Advent Calendar is themed around the Where’s Wally/Waldo? book idea.  Each daily image is of Kathryn in one of her minor film roles and (sort of) obscured in the picture.  If public appearance photos had been included I could have used the one above.  OK, she’s not exactly hidden but she’s not the only one with long blonde hair in it either :-)

toy_drive_002Every so often I like to revisit an old public appearance with an update of new or improved photos.  If possible I make them date appropriate.  This celebrity karting event in aid of the Marine Toys For Tots Foundation took place on December the 2nd in 2007.  Eight years and two days ago!

You can read more about the event in the last post about it in 2012 here.  In the meantime enjoy the three large images you can see around this article that have now been added to the Gallery.

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.
