My Commentaries

16 October 2008: So, I wonder if any film festivals in Mexico are sponsored by Guinness [¡Greetings from Corcho, Baja Irlanda!]
23 October 2008: Maybe things would have gone better for Charles and Sebastian after their trip to Venice if they had been there for the film festival [Cork revisited]
