London film festivals, movies and cinemas
There’s PLENTY to see over on the Internet Archive: The original Nosferatu, Night of the Living Dead and Lon Chaney Jnr in The Indestructible Man… and much more than old horror movies – we’ve just got a one track mind. It’s very American centric of …
Another month, another film based on a comic book. Yes, it’s Sin City, and yet again we’re all waiting with baited breath and fingers crossed, praying to all that is holy that they’ll actually pull it off this time. So what have the critics got …
Those poor poor people of Highgate Village. As if they didn’t have enough to worry about, what with all those hooded teen vandals to keep an eye out for and intricate Nieghborhood Watch schedules to compose. Now they have to deal with those bloody Yanks, …
Something we should have mentioned at the start of this week is the release of Patrick Keiller’s film London on DVD. The film is a “a provocative film essay in the form of a journal, recording fictitious journeys through a very real city,” and is …
The first film up for review this week is Danny Boyle’s Millions, which we’ve already covered in our own review back when the Raindance Festival was on. Back then, our reviewer called it “the perfect antidote to vapid British-set movies”, so do the broadsheets agree? …

The line-up for Patti Smith‘s Meltdown gets even stronger with the latest announcement of new events and artists and an interesting bunch of additions they are, too. You know how much we like free stuff here at Londonist, so we’re particularly happy to see that …
We covered the Guardian’s (one star) review of Revenge of the Sith last week, so for the sake of consistency we should look at what the Independent and the Times make of Part III today. As you might have already guessed, neither paper is really …
So let’s get right into this week with the first real UK broadsheet review of Star Wars courtesy of (who else?) Pete Bradshaw. (No spoilers here by the way: Londonist policy). Maybe not surprisingly, Pete gives the film just one star, and that’s pretty generous …
The first guests at the 2005 London Film & Comic Convention have been announced and the list is enough to get nerd-Londonist’s happy on. We like to try and look cool on the tube with our oh so ironic t-shirts and a battered copy of …
Whilst hanging out at the Korean Film Festival yesterday Londonist was shocked to hear that annual Fright Fest is moving venues this year. For as long as we can remember we’ve been deprived of sleep and scared the bejesus out of by our favourite horror …
