Well, that’s pretty much it. The Berocca and Paracetamol are packed, the playlist for the freshly purchased iPad are prepared and we’re looking forward to ten days of sun, tapas and bizarre foreign films.

We’ll be hitting Sitges like a freight train on fire at about 8pm tomorrow night. Our schedule currently shows 32 films that we’re seeing, but I’m sure we’ll find plenty of time to socialise. If you’re feeling friendly and want to say hello, we’ll be the ones (pic. here) wandering around Sitges trying (but failing) to look like cool film people.

We normally sit on what we like to call Corridorstyle Row in the Auditori (aisle seat on the very back row, named by us as we’re usually the only people sat there) and also in El Cable, The Road Cafe, Lizarran, Cafe Mon and wherever’s serving drinks latest.

Hasta Luego!

I can finally see the finish line, more previews are below:

Colorful

Jackboots On Whitehall

Mars

Surviving Life

The Ugly Duckling

Detective Dee & The Mystery Of The Phantom Flame

Gallants (Da Lui Toi)

Golden Swallow (Jin Yanzi)

Higanjima

It’s so close I can taste it, here are the final previews for the Official Fantastic Section:

Insidious

Helldriver

L’Autre Monde

Les 7 Jours Du Talion

We Are The Night

Secuestrados

The Perfect Host

The Housemaid

Continuing with the earlier post’s theme of using a film quote as a title, I’ve decided to use quotes from films we’ve seen at the festival as a title for these previews. First prize for naming it gets a free beer off us in El Cable, this one should be easy.

Latest previews are:

La Posesion De Emma Evans

Monga

La Meute

Twelve

Tajomaru

Stake Land

The Reef

Sorry, I couldn’t think of a clever title for this post and I watched Anchorman last night and for some reason this quote stuck in my head.

More previews below:

Super

Zebraman: Attack On Zebra City

Suck

The Storm Warriors

La Sombra Prohibida

Prowl

Breaking news straight off the videprinter….our festival sources have confirmed that Donnie Darko director Richard Kelly will be appearing at the festival this year.

My guess would be that he’ll probably end up collecting an award of some kind, hopefully he’ll also announce that he’s ready to make a good film again after the awful ‘Southland Tales’ and slightly better but still poor ‘The Box’.

Well, it seemed a great idea at the time to try to do a preview for every single film. However, putting that into practice when you are trying to make your first million in IT Sales and are also of a seriously lazy disposition has proved to be quite a task.

However, like Clint Eastwood pulling on his chaps for the last time in Unforgiven, I’m getting back on the horse and hitting you with six reviews and more to come:

Jonah Hex

Tucker & Dale vs Evil

Red Hill

My Joy

Monsters

Fase 7

A sad but true fact is that we get embarrassingly excited when we first catch sight of the new festival program booklet. We hold onto it tightly throughout the festival and sleep soundly at night with it tucked under our pillow.

For those of you with the latest whizz-bang gadgetry you can download a PDF of the booklet by GOING HERE and clicking on the “PDF programme” link on the right of the page.
