Looks like we’ll be sharing a milk with Alex this year…..

The one minute snippets look good and the translated clips (Round Da Way) have their funny moments, but can team CS “enjoy” Le French for an hour and a half?
I’ve got to own up, I’ve already seen this film and will definitely be seeing it again in Sitges.
A tense thriller with two fit French birds in it, one of whom is married to Vincent Cassel (legend) and was Persephone in The Matrix.
The last time Bruce Willis teamed up with Ving Rhames, we all know what happened…things got medieval. Whilst I don’t think it’s time to bring out the gimp just yet, this does look quite interesting.
I’ve got a feeling that this is going to be one of those films that splits the CS camp straight down the middle, and I fully expect plenty of late night drink-fuelled
Those crazy cats over in Greece look like they’ve come out with another head-scratcher.
A remake of his earlier short film, Paul Solet’s GRACE made a fairly big splash at this year’s Sundance. The trailer certainly looks disturbing enough to be interesting, let’s hope it’s shown early enough in the day that we don’t have to sleep ‘Eric and Ernie-style’ for fear of nightmares.
Kazuaki Kiriya. A dab hand with the visuals but it would help if we had the slightest clue what his films were about. At least that was the case with his last effort, 2004’s CASSHERN, but has he given us a story we can follow in GOEMON?
