October already?!?
I confess I am stymied and mystified by the rapid passage of time of late. With the pace most of us are keeping these days, time is precious.
When I watch a movie that wastes my time, you can be sure I’m going to let tell you about it. So if there’s one thing you take away from the section this month, let it be this – The Family is not worth your time.
Rest assured however, there’s plenty to recommend at the cinema and on DVD. The Asheville Film Society and Hendersonville Film Society continue to offer an interesting array of titles (see pages 29 & 30).
Also getting into the spirit of the season, the good Professor Kaufmann has a special feature about three previously lost Hammer films.
October marks the onslaught of the race to Oscar. Be on the lookout for some promising releases that were not yet available at press time. On our hot list: Prisoners, Rush, Gravity, Runner Runner, 12 Years a Slave, The Fifth Estate, Counselor, Captain Phillips, All is Lost, and one of James Gandolfini’s last screen appearances, Enough Said.
November will be here before we know it, but until then enjoy the show!
