lately on twitter:

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.


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.


Encounters with two very different geek icons today: Ray Harryhausen in person, and Harlan Ellison on film.


Bananaz are good.


A good selection here (better overall quality than the McLaren selection).


Cheerfully lo-fi Z-movie.


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.


Ah, they can take our rocks, but they’ll never take our freedom.


I don’t know that I have much to add to my tweet on this – Tiramisu is cute but insubstantial.
