That's 15, of which 11 are new releases in 24 weeks, which is poor, but I think the year hasn't had so many compelling films.
Of the new releases, the best were Venus, with a stunning performance by Peter O'Toole, Hot Fuzz, just great fun, Ghosts and Infamous. The most disappointing was Joe Strummer.
The rep films were a lot of fun. The first three were a Lon Chaney season at the Barbican, with varied musical accompaniment - one had a live pianist, one had a live DJ providing beats and samples to the film, which was a novel and exciting experience, repeated at the Rio in Dalston with Jekyll and Hyde. Definitely something to be tried again.
