And now for something completely different...

Here's my shortlist for this year's Fantasia Festival (opening night was tonight). It's horror heavy for me this year (and the festival itself is light on anything animation related albeit with a few exceptions). If anyone is interested in seeing any these movies let me know, I'll try to see them all, money and time permitting although some are higher priority than others (main meat train, dance, sukiyaki, rec, batman, timecrimes, the rebel and mandy lane).

Dance of the Dead
Sukiyaki Western Django (Tarantino has a hand it in, so expect it to be derivative and violent).
batman: gothic knight I think someone posted a link to this a while back. think animatrix but for batman.
Machine Girl. Buckets of gore and lots of fan service. how can you go wrong? This is a movie where a crowd to laugh along with is a must.
[rec]hands down one of the best zombie movies in the passed few years. it hasn't really screened much in north america but it managed to nab a 91% rotten tomatoes rating and a sequel is already in the works. there's also a sure to be horribly butchered american version coming next year sometime.
Timecrimes it's won a bunch of awards in small film festivals all over the place and cronenburg is planning a remake. the buzz is this is a must see movie.
DJ XL5's Hellzapoppin Zappin’ Party is supposed to be a fun if somewhat bizarre string of shorts.
All the boys love mandy lane "Takes us back to the old days when horror movies were at the cutting edge of artistic exploration. Fans of traditional slashers will love this film, but so will a lot of people who wouldn't normally touch them" according to one reviewer.
The Rebel basically a vietnamese period piece martial arts movie. it's supposed to be vietnam's response to ong bak but with a stronger artistic drive and better camera work.
From Within the theme of the movie seems somewhat ham-handedly goes for a whole intolerence bent but it's supposed to be genuinely creepy and surprisingly well acted.
Who is KK downey? is an indie movie about two wannabe hipsters who go to extremes to make their name. All i know is that it's a darling of some of the indie circuits and apparently one of the funniest movies of the year.
Babysitter Wanted is vaunted as being a genuinely good take on the whole babysitter slasher horror movie. Well acted and well directed without all the usual cheese you'd expect from the genre.
Midnight Meat Train a slasher movie starring vinnie jones? Fuck yes. And it's also apparently an excellent script, has some stunning photography and is based on a Clive Barker short that has reviewers saying it's gory, scary and sometimes downright disturbing? Yep, Sold!
