New 007 director, and next 007? “Vodka Martini, shaken not fuckin’ stirred” 🍸 #LFF

New Projector Short! Elton John looks back on his life and career on the eve of his farewell Dodgers Stadium performance in the Disney+ documentary Never Too Late, which I saw as part of #LFF, but it says little that Rocketman didn't already. #film https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rrT6_Y98cUU

#CONCLAVE hits UK cinemas widely this week: "…an intelligently constructed #film, where embellishments to its surface-level thriller mystery allow for its transubstantiation into an altar for broader themes." - @JimGR’s review from #LFF: https://takeonecinema.net/2024/conclave/ #cinema #movies #cinemastodon

The Assessment's pitch - personal-scale #scifi with lofty themes - is so aggressively up my alley I had to check it out at #LFF. It's not quite up to its weightier concerns, but it's well-observed and a good reminder of how good #ElizabethOlsen can be. Review below for @TAKEONECinema

"THE ASSESSMENT's ideas bolster the excellent performances & premise. It never quite rises to meet its loftier concerns, but [the] writing & captivating performances result in something well above a passing grade." - @JimGR reviews the late #LFF addition: https://takeonecinema.net/2024/the-assessment/

My #LFF reviews continue to trickle out. The latest at @takeonecinema.net is #SANTOSH, a #film I thought was really very good. It has since been selected to represent (slightly confusingly) the UK in the #Oscars‘ international feature film category. Review below!

Here is my review of #AsifKapadia's 2073 from #LFF. I did not think this film was good, and I strongly suspect the discussion around it when it does get released more widely is going to annoy the shit out of me. Review for @TAKEONECinema below 👇

"Many activists over the globe are fighting the forces 2073 points its confused finger at. Hopefully, history will be kinder to them than it should be to this messy expression of solidarity." - @JimGR reviews Asif Kapadia's latest from #LFF:

New Projector @ #LFF Short! Spider-Verse's Shameik Moore has got balls in the raunchy bowling comedy The Gutter, with Susan Sarandon channelling Bill Murray in Kingpin, but the improv-heavy humour means that it scores less strikes when it comes to laughs. #film https://youtube.com/shorts/NBoOxihxtHU

New Projector @ #LFF Short! Ever wanted to see Cate Blanchett doing an Angela Merkel impression? Charles Dance doing Joe Biden, but with an English accent? Want to see the G7 fighting bog bodies in the apocalypse? Well, here's bizarre political satire Rumours! #film https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IyiSecn89ac

Final day of #LFF 2024, reviewing Architecton, Ellis Park, Grand Theft Hamlet, Piece By Piece https://spank-the-monkey.typepad.com/blog/2024/10/spanks-lff-diary-sunday-20102024.html

A film set, with Pharrell Williams and Morgan Neville sat facing each other in director chairs. That's pretty much it apart from, in the immortal words of Malcolm Tucker, "they're all made of fucking Lego".

Delighted to see Adam Elliot's stop-motion #animation , Snail, win at the London Film Festival https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/oct/20/adam-elliot-memoir-of-a-snail-london-film-festival-best-film-award

Caught his animated Mary & Max at @edfilmfest years back and absolutely loved it. Looking forward to seeing this when released.

Time for the last one #LFF

A cinema screen with "BFI London Film Festival 2024" in white text on a pinky purpley orange background. In the foreground you can see the backs of some of the seats in front.

It didn’t feel good to go maskless, and it was easier not to with the pre-fest #LFF screenings at @BFI Southbank (which has outdoor seating). But my chances of staying lurgy-free were definitely better than all those not masking at all, which was almost everyone. #CovidIsNotOver

Didn’t get the #LFF lurgy this year. I wonder why…

Caught The Assessment at #LFF – Set in a dystopian world where you need to take a test for the right to have a child. Not an easy watch, but a great film! Elizabeth Olsen and Alicia Vikander are both brilliant in it.! #Movies #TheAssessment
