A pitch-black road-trip comedy (or at least that's one of many ways to describe it), "Sightseers" centers on Chris and Tina, two misfit lovers taking a sightseeing trip through rural England, but during their voyage, Chris (Steve Oram) starts to show his psychopathic true colors once he crosses paths (and becomes incensed) with society’s various annoying boobs: the careless litterer, the obnoxiously loud party girls, the pedantic asshole, etc. 0000013e-8f9f-d0c4-a93e-dfdf6de40000 Caravanning into theaters this weekend in limited release is Ben Wheatley's "Sightseers.

Cannes Wish List: 40 Films We Hope Make The Festival's 2013 Lineup. Cannes is a sort of annual cinematic Olympics, with almost every country vying for spots in the official selection. But with the official 2013 Cannes Film Festival announcement a little over a month away, Indiewire is offering its annual Cannes wish list. Indiewire's annual Cannes wish list isn't so much about officially predicting the lineup, but rather a roster of films we hope are finished in time, good enough and invited to the festival. Thus we're not including films basically confirmed not to be heading to Cannes -- like Lars von Trier's "The Nymphomaniac," Xavier Dolan's "Tom at the Farm" and Pedro Almodovar's "I Am Excited. " Or the one film we officially know -- Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby," which will open the festival. Films that don't get a spot in Cannes (and there will definitely be a few) will immediately become hot topics for a fall fest berth in Venice and/or Toronto.

For hver storfavorit, der står til at vinde en pris, er der en 'dark horse' lige bag vedkommende, der truer med at snuppe prisen i sidste øjeblik. Sådan er det også med Emmy’erne, og især i disse år, hvor udvalget af kvalitets-tv er ultrahøjt, og nogle mere originale serier har fundet vej til skærmen. Den korrupte politiker, kemilæreren og seriemorderen Derfor kan søndag aften sagtens byde på en række overraskelser, når den smukke Emmy-statuette bliver overrakt til Hollywoods tv-elite.
