Last year, I decided to take a week off work and go watch movies! There’s a genre film festival here in Austin called Fantastic Fest, and I was burned out, and didn’t have money to go far, so I thought that would be a good fit. And it was, in fact, it was incredible! Zombies! Martial Arts! Horror! The Japanese! Other Furriners! More Zombies! I loved it.
Thus, I’m going back this year. Expect to hear less gaming stuff and more movie stuff for the next week.
Here’s a recap from my FF ’09 experience, with all the films I saw and the ratings I give them!
Also, this year you can follow along even if you aren’t coming. A lot of the premieres – Let Me In, Buried – are coming out super soon. And four of the movies are available on demand from IFC Midnight at the same time they play at the festival.
I’ll blog along as I go so you can all enjoy too!

Already? I still haven’t watched most of your recommendations from last year, as they didn’t get released over here!
Yeah, many didn’t get released here either 🙂 You can see some of them on Netflix live streaming if that’s available wherever “here” is… This year it looks like there’s more mainstream releases being featured, as well.
Britain. Our local Netflix equivalent doesn’t have most of the films either, alas.
I have tracked down Fish Story, although it’s of an, er, privateeresque nature.
