I have fallen so behind on my “best of the month” that I won’t even bother posting images. I am posting them largely for my own purposes, especially for when the year finally comes to an end. As per usual, all lists are in alphabetical order.

My list for the month of July is completely dominated by viewings at Fantasia Film Festival. There is still 6 days left in the festival and a good number of films that I still desperately want to see. The ones here are stand-outs among many other very good films I have seen so far.

I will also be updating this site more often. Often with text, thoughts or images to accompany more complete articles and reviews on Sound on Sight. Or to keep track of my ideas.

Ooh how was the innkeeper? I heard it was really something! Also sad I missed 13 assassins…
I just watched the trailer for Francis Coppola’s “Twixt” and thought of you, since it seems Toronto has been its debut (or an early venue, at least).
I’ve no idea whether it’ll be a gothic fantasmagoria, a Lynchian nightmare, or a sort of playful twee mishmash, but I wish him well . . . .
I’ve finally seen Carpenter’s “The Thing” as an adult (well, 4 times in 24 hours) back in May, and it has become a major preoccupation! . . . As I always promised, seeing it anew was truly epic.
If it’s not too late I’m glad to see you back.
