Three Takes Only (Pt 3)

As I mentioned recently, there are times when the Dark Eye Socket updates can be sadly few and far between, but just recently, alongside the usual weekly Take Three columns for Nathaniel R's The Film Experience (see below), I've been at the 54th BFI London Film Festival (more on this later) watching as many films as possible for the duration of the festival, and writing up some words on a selection of them, again for TFE. Also, there have been other pieces I've been working on for both online and print: my upcoming piece on film sound ("Scoring Points for Film") in the launch issue of The Hub Magazine; and various other posts at TFE.

But for now, below are links to all of the Take Three pieces I've written over the last few months, for your general or specific perusal:

  1. At least you're not writing about films because you're watching other films. I've seen so little movies lately :(
    October was an awful month for movie watching in my life.
    With that said, love Take Three.

  2. I think I saw more movies than I thought this Oct. (especially as it's a busy work month for me), but getting the watching/writing about balance right has been as tricky as ever lately. Hope you get to see more movies in Nov. And thank you for the Take 3 love, Jose!
