So, yeah. School kind of sucks and leave me no time for movies, for the most parts.

But for those of you who don’t really pay attention on what’s going on around the city, the New York Film Festival is here.

And they have a lot of really cool shit going on, if you can afford it. Yeah, tickets are pretty expensive and they are mostly sold out anyway but there are some rush tickets available at $10 bucks each for all the movies. This year around, they are setting over around 50 tickets in total(?)

The festival opened with the 50th anniversary screening of a remastered Wizard of Oz (yay!). There are director talks, and awesome movie screenings, and stuff. You know, the usual shindig.

This year, I’m seeing Michael Haneke (Funny Games) and Pedro Almodóvar (Volver, Bad Education) talk. Both of them have movies playing at the fest. Haneke has White Ribbon and Almodóvar has his fourth movie with Penelope Cruz, Broken Embraces.

I just got back from Harmonie Korine’s Trash Humpers, so expect a review of that up by the weekend, and I’m seeing Von Trier’s controversial Antichrist tomorrow at 0900 PM.

Other movies I’m looking forward to are Todd Solondz’s Life During War Time and Joon-ho-Bong’s much talked about Mother.

I wish I could afford to see Broken Embraces and Push (the one with the black people and Mariah Carey). But alas.

Check out more details on the festival, see some movies with strangers in the dark, and maybe bump into someone famous.
