During the Edinburgh International Film Festival this year I was lucky enough to see the documentary An Inconvenient Truth starring Al Gore, the rightful President of the United States of America. I was shocked and moved to tears, not at Gore being pushed out of the Presidential elections, but at...

What's on today then? Shoot the Messenger, H6 Diary of an Assassin, The Killing of John Lennon and Sundays in August. A fair mixture indeed and no more than a half hour between showings. It's interesting that going through the festival I've come up with so many suggestions on how...

Another early start and a day of four films at the EIFF, with the final ending about 21:30. There's a continual feeling of tiredness that's just hanging around, and I'm yawning within a few minutes of getting up, but it is enjoyable, I'm seeing some great movies, and not so...

Well I had hoped for a lot of rest last night but my fiancee and her bridesmaid-to-be had been out celebrating all day so that foiled plans of getting a restful early night! There was a big event party last night with a bunch of celebraties and a host of...

Well I was supposed to go and see four films today starting about 09:45, but unfortunately an early morning finish from writing and an early start to get more done resulted in a splitting migraine. For those of you who aren't migraine sufferers they can be intense, and I ended...

It's an early start again, and four movies today. Between two films this afternoon I have an eight minute gap, luckily also just a one screen walk! Well I made it. Three films so far and that dash between screens was easy enough. There's just time to do a little...

Another early start to get some stories on the site, find my bandwidth is close to maxing out again this month, speed through the emails, and then head over to Cineworld for First Love at 09:30. Hard work, but great fun. After First Love I headed off to the press...

So the third day begins. This morning I had some time before my first screening to get some writing done, unfortunately I used it to write up some news stories instead of doing the review, so I'm a bit behind. Hopefully the gap this afternoon will help me get out...

Early start this morning and my fiancée had things well planned with packed lunch ingredients galore. I made myself something and scouted the news stories to pass onto my trusty stand in Louise. After breakfast it was the 08:08 bus into town for the first showing. Sitting in the lovely...

It all started a lot better than yesterday's fiasco, with the arrival at the Press Office bang on 08:30 and finding them already open and waiting. My information and pack were obtained within seconds by a group of ladies who were quite nervous, perhaps they thought I was someone important!...

Well the 60th Edinburgh International Film Festival begins tomorrow for the Press anyway, and I almost have my press credentials to begin this years madness. Somehow I'm going to try and see forty eight films in two weeks, now that is every day so it averages about four or five...
