Dr. Horrible, or, The Internet is awesome
Spent much of yesterday in a blind rage at the internet. But I got over it :)
I’m sorry (I’m so…)
Predictably, I’m behind on updating my reviews of the last EIFF films. I stayed overnight in Edinburgh at the weekend, so was away from my computer, and the backlog kept getting bigger and bigger…
Sleep Dealer
Rather good low-budget SF film from Mexico, the debut feature of Alex Rivera. It does show it’s budget in the CG effects (think mid-90s TV level), but for the most part makes the best of it.
Milky Way Liberation Front
Another strong contender for best title of the festival, this is a cute, funny little Korean film about a guy struggling to get his feature film debut made - or indeed, written.
Masters of their respective arts
Encounters with two very different geek icons today: Ray Harryhausen in person, and Harlan Ellison on film.
I Like Bananaz
Bananaz are good.
International Animation 1
A good selection here (better overall quality than the McLaren selection).
Strange Girls
Cheerfully lo-fi Z-movie.
Cinematographers everywhere
Roger Deakins & Seamus McGarvey: In Conversation - I should really have been taking notes, but we’ve already established this isn’t a good idea in the dark.
Stone of Destiny
Ah, they can take our rocks, but they’ll never take our freedom.
