I think that will change after the AFI screenings as I'm sure some of those I want to see will beat anything I've seen thus far (from Australia).Paul Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10965628567103267009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34898184.post-68415525102425490902008-08-23T12:21:00.000+10:002008-08-23T12:21:00.000+10:00While you are in the mood, why not go out and vote...While you are in the mood, why not go out and vote in the IF Awards too.

And thanks for the tip not to see Tender Hook. With time a scarce resource and with a glut of film choices, it's good to filter some out. <BR/><BR/>Black Water may be worth seeing, but I don't know if I can fit it in.

Son of a Lion is Australian; I'm not sure why it's not on the list. I've heard mixed reviews but will try to see it anyway. The guerilla-style film-making appeals to me. The Tender Hook has an upcoming release, but it's nice to catch a free AFI advance screening.Paul Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10965628567103267009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34898184.post-39150263427672996572008-08-20T23:41:00.001+10:002008-08-20T23:41:00.001+10:00Oh, I'm also wondering what happened to Son of a L...Oh, I'm also wondering what happened to <I>Son of a Lion</I>.
