Film Listings for June 29-July 5
The Kilburn Film Festival started today and we have detailed some of the highlights over the first week of the event below. Elsewhere we have a South African themed night at The Tricycle on Sunday, and a darkly comic film of the week from the director of The Exorcist and The French Connection.
Film of the Week
Killer Joe (comedy, 103 mins)
Swiss Cottage Odeon until Thurs
Rare that a film only showing in a local multiplex makes film of the week but this jet black comedy is worth making an exception for. William Friedkin rediscovers his mojo and provides Matthew McConaughey with the best role of his career at the same time.
One thing worth mentioning is the NC-17 rating in the US (equivalent to a hard 18 in the UK), and also, you will never look at KFC in the same way again.

Belsize Park
Friends with Kids*(2011, comedy, 111 mins)
Reuniting most of the cast of Bridesmaids for a film that looks about 10% of the fun. Directed by and starring Jennifer Westfeldt (aka Mrs. Jon Hamm). The sort of film your DVD player was invented for.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2D* (2012, action, 136 mins ) from Wed 4 only.
The Average Spider-Man as it is being called in more than one place. The other critics' insight is that this is squarely targeted at a younger female audience. This can’t be a bad thing, not every blockbuster need to be made for 15-year-old boys.
