Edinburgh 2009: RT's 10 Must-See Movies
Rudo and Cursi - Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna are reunited on the big screen eight years after Y tu mama tambien introduced them to international audiences and made a hot name out of director Alfonso Cuaron. This time it's his brother Carlos behind the camera (he scripted the previous film) but the chemistry is still there as the pair play brothers who are plucked out of the Mexican slums to become overnight soccer superstars. But the fun comes when the duo start enjoying their manic lives a little too readily and tensions start to form between them. - JU

on Jun 28 2009 05:05 PM Cool list :). There are a lot of movies here that I've heard good things about, and a few that I'm hearing of for the first time. I'll definitely be checking out these movies once I'm able to. (Reply to this) |
on Jun 28 2009 05:10 PM These all sound real good, I definitely cant wait to see Moon. Exam, Humpday, and Black Dynamite all sound very interesting as well. Awesome list. (Reply to this) |
on Jun 28 2009 06:42 PM If these are the 10 must see films from the Edinburgh Film Festival then I would hate to see how horrible the other films must have been. Only a few of these look any good at all. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 29 2009 10:22 AM I've been looking forward to Black Dynamite for a while. I'd only heard about Moon in the last month or two ago (from other posters here actually, thanks guys) and it certainly sounds intriguing. I hadn't heard of Exam before, but it certainly sounds interesting too; in a way it kinda reminds me of the setup for Cube. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 29 2009 11:30 AM What, no love for Shane Meadows? Has anybody here seen This Is England? Le Donk looks pretty awesome, and the teaming of Meadows and Considine is always exciting. And Black Dynamite...aw, yeah. (Reply to this) |
on Jun 29 2009 11:38 AM Black Dynamite looks hilarious. And Moon just looks incredible. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 29 2009 03:25 PM None of the movies or documentaries look mainstream, I'll probably have to wait until they come on DVD or on television. (Reply to this) |
on Jul 05 2009 03:15 PM Rotten Tomatoes is silly, mainstream, and might as well be run by People Magazine. First of all: Moon over The Missing Person? Black Dynamite? Rudo Y Cursi? You guys really do like the pop indie b.s. (Reply to this) |
