I'm guessing they had to get someone else in to finish The Equestrian Vortex

from the scene descriptions though, it sounded tedious in the extreme . . .

That's the impression I took from the film, with Gilderoy initially out of his depth and sickened by the work he was asked to do but, over time, becoming increasingly obsessed by The Equestrian Vortex and the environment in which he was working and, spending his time in the studio or his apartment, losing all sense of reality.

Alternatively, the whole thing could have just taken place in his head as he was working in his garden shed and never went to Italy, hence why there was no record of him flying there.

Another Earth (2011)
Interesting movie that I found better than Melancholia.

Just watched Immortal (Ad Vitam). A really weird film that I hadn't seen in a few years. It was one of the first films to be filmed entirely against green screen. It also combines CG characters with real people (which looks really bad). It's a good, but flawed film.

Another couple of steps in clearing the back-log:

Black Swan Darren Arfonsky continues to get better with each film, and his first film, Pi, already set a high benchmark. Black Swan is a masterpiece. At times it reminds me of one of my favourite films of all time (The Red Shoes) sharing not only ballet, but also the central theme of how far are we are prepared to go in the pursuit of greatness. Although, here Arfonsky takes us on a much darker journey into mental breakdown. An excellent film with a standout performance by Natalie Portman. Highly recommended.

Diamonds are Forever I had forgotten that Connery returned to the role after Lazenby's stand-in turn. Here with his flabby midriff and greying hair we see why he would have been better staying away from the role.

Rewatched Heavenly Creatures due to the interest in Peter Jackson, first 20 mins I was thinking it wasn't how I remembered it at all, considering I've not seen this film since VHS but it gradually got better and ended up being pretty gripping stuff, the tension building during 'the day of the happy event' was unbearable at some points. I really enjoyed it to be honest.
Only critique about the direction really is Jackson tries a bit too hard at the start of the film to distance himself from his horror past and ends up coming across as a Spielberg try hard. As the tone gets darker he comes into his own even if he tries to rip off Suspiria/Inferno with his lighting and camera angles.
