The Carnival is Over.

After 13 films the one thing which I have noticed most about the festival is how tired it made me. I'd get up the day after having seen a few films and just want to sleep and sleep. I had tickets to a lot of films that I didn't even use this year. Time for more fitness training before next year's.

Highlights for me this year were three films in particular. Me and You and Everyone We Know, The Ninth Day, and A Dirty Shame were all highlights.

The Magician, and Voices of Iraq were also real surprise packets.

I'd recommend that anyone see these films should they get the chance.

Far and away the worst was the horrendous A Hole in My Heart and the still painful to recount Pickpocket. Both terrible.

This last post caps off what has been a writing workload that I could done without, but I've enjoyed the chance to become amateur reviewer for a few weeks.

Two things before I go.

I write here normally, it's got a tertiary flavour but a pleasant aftertaste.

And, you should also check out this site if you're after up to date movie reviews.

Cheers, le Student.
