Straight from Cinema Blend's fiercely independent entertainment reporters. EIFF 10: Final Festival Wrap-Up Our time in Edinburgh is over for another year and unfortunately I saw far more in 14 days than I could ever hope to provide full write-ups on under the tight deadlines filed under: EIFF
EIFF 10: Get Low Review Get Low provides a refreshing antidote to all the plot-heavy blockbusters of the multiplexes and the pretension filled try-too-hards of the indie circuit. It is a simple story, well told and excellently performed and who can complain about that? filed under: EIFF
EIFF 10: Restrepo Review Festivals are ridden with the celluloid corpses of aspiring film-makers with plenty of college courses under their belt but not always much in the way of compelling vision filed under: EIFF
EIFF 10: My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done Review If there was one catalogue blurb that grabbed attention at this year's Festival it was a collaboration between America and Europe's two most unique film-makers filed under: EIFF
EIFF 10: The Illusionist Review In the run-up to EIFF much has been made of The Illusionist and the work of the Scottish animation artists who contributed to it. But while The Illusionist is undoubtedly absolutely stunning to look at, it is a little more unkempt when it comes to the story it wants to tell filed under: EIFF
EIFF 10: Outcast Review It's great to see such a strong project come from a celtic collaboration between Scottish Screen and the Irish Film Board, and Colm McCarthy and his brothers could well be up-and-comers to keep an eye on. It's just a shame filed under: EIFF
EIFF 10: Two Eyes Staring Review Director Elbert van Stein takes the typical Hollywood horror cliche of the eerie,creaky old mansion house and attempts to fuse it with J-Horror's creepy little girl ghost conceit filed under: EIFF
EIFF 10: Cherry Tree Lane Review My feelings towards Cherry Tree Lane are fairly conflicted. It has an interesting concept and is visually well presented but doesn't seem to quite know what to do with itself filed under: EIFF
EIFF 10: The Hunter Review The story of a man who snaps after the death of his family and goes out for some kind of justice/revenge is nothing new but offers plenty of room for originality and creativity within the concept filed under: EIFF
EIFF 10: The Last Rites Of Ransom Pride Review On paper, The Last Rites of Ransom Pride sounds like a surefire winner; a western about a tough gun-toting heroine trying to take her deceased outlaw lover's body back home for burial filed under: EIFF
EIFF 09: Antichrist Antichrist is a difficult film and certainly not for everyone but it is another mark in Lars Von Triers quest to push the envelope of filmmaking for better or worse and if you have the stomach for it, worth investigating. filed under: EIFF
EIFF 09: Boogie Woogie Boogie Woogie proves that no matter how many big name actors you throw at a project, if you don't have a good script to start with, the film just will not hold together. filed under: EIFF
