I\u2019ve been so swamped with work, family matters and actual movie-going that I haven\u2019t had a chance yet to post my tentative Vancouver International Film Festival<\/a> movie-going schedule \u2014 but now that it\u2019s Thanksgiving and I\u2019m home with a cold, I might as well get around to it. As with the schedules I posted in 2005<\/a>, 2006<\/a>, 2007<\/a> and 2008<\/a>, this list is highly flexible and will be revised continually as the festival proceeds. Any films that I do not end up seeing will be deleted from this list. Any articles I write shall be linked to from here. And as I blog the films that I see, I shall link to those posts from the titles listed here.<\/span><\/p>\n
