Leicester Square is a shit hole that should be avoid at all costs unless you want to spend twenty quid on a pair of M&M boxer shorts or poorly-drawn caricature of yourself on roller-skates. Or, of course, unless you have tickets for the London Film Festival...

Four days into the BFI London Film Festival and we've already seen several Hollywood types on the red carpet outside Bella Italia; Woody Harrelson for Rampart, Michael Fassbender for Shame, Seth Rogan for 50/50 and Ralph Fiennes for Coriolanus.

However, one of the most intriguing films we've seen so far doesn't even have an proper talent; Dreams of a Life, an investigation into the real life story of a young woman whose remains were discovered in a London flat three years after her death. It's really quite chilling, particularly as her TV was still on - THREE YEARS LATER. Imagine three years slumped in front of ITV2? Horrifying.

Back to Rampart, though, it sees Woody Harrelson back back BACK as a dirty cop called 'Date Rape' Dave, so called because he may or may not have killed a date rapist, not because he is one. It's awesome and might even bother Gary Oldman's Oscar campaign. Wonder if that Cheers theme bar is still round the corner from Leicester Square? Great place for Woody to get a drink after the screening.
