But it's the same type of film, the ones that need word of mouth. I agree it's annoying though.
I have tickets for Ides of March

The queue for returns was really long outside, but my friend really wasn't feeling well enough to go

I've seen so many people complain after going to 360 and then having to trek to the other part of town (The Saatchi Gallery) for the after party. They probably forgot to bring their limousines....

Saatchi Gallery's a lovely venue but for sure they won't be doing that again, it was a logistical nightmare

Was the after-party worth it? Oysters and salmon blinis?

Got my first taste of the festival tonight at the Rampart screening at Vue West End. Well worth the trip as director Oren Moverman, Ben Foster and a very funny Woody Harrelson stayed on after the film for the Q&A.

Liked the film a lot, a gripping character study of tough old-school LAPD cop Dave, accused of police brutality and losing touch with his family. Disappointed that Sigourney Weaver and Steve Buscemi only have very minor roles in the film (Buscemi I think only has one scene!), Robin Wright was pretty good but it's Woody's show all the way. 8/10

We are off soon to get our Coriolanus tickets, then going somewhere for a bite to eat. It officially starts at 7.30pm, but from past LFF experiences with stars involved, I am not expecting it to start much before 8pm. It's a 2 hour film so this is going to be a long evening! Thankfully I have next week off.
