Our final blog comes to you with dual influence, firstly from this excellent poster ( pinned all over Edinburgh) urging you to find this year's EIFF retrospective strand and secondly inspired by a viewing of the brilliant 'The People V's George Lucas'. A documentary, so thorough in its examination of the cultural phenomenon that is Star Wars that it immediately makes you want to go out and watch

Welsh film 'Third Star' is the closing night gala film at the 2010 Edinburgh Film Festival and this is something Wales should be shouting about.An early morning viewing alongside the festival jury, allowed us to absorb breathtaking views of Pembrokeshire in all it's glory as four firm friends (Benedidct Cumberbatch, JJ Feild, Adam Robertson & Tom Burke) take on an life affirming journey to

Another day, and more films to see... viewed Ben Millers 'HUGE' today, an adaptation of the play that he wrote alongside Simon Godley & Jez Butterworth. The plot revolves around a comedic bro-mance between Noel Clarke and Jonny Harris. Jonny Harris delivers a heart warming performance & look out for the scene that features almost every top- flight comedian Britain has produced in recent

You will all be relieved to hear that Edinburgh Castle is still standing and in one piece- Photographic evidence.Excellent weather so far for the whole of the fest..Yesterday headed down to the Cameo for the afternoon and we couldn't really have viewed two more 'poles apart' films back to back..

Edinburgh Film Fest is in full swing once again,and after BAFTA Cymru enjoy a full Scottish Breakfast ( not entirely dissimilar to it's Welsh, English & Irish counterparts) I am ready to attack the film festival- armed with pass and an over zealous wish list of films to view and people to meet, I'm guessing that it is realistic to expect to view only half of these.at most. 'Third Star', funded by
