What a life! I mean that in a moany way as well as a good way.

I'm rather glad that PPP and the Film Market are over. For a trade reporter these are pretty full-on occasions as there are multiple overlapping events happening – Variety had three reporters here and there were moments on Saturday and Sunday when I felt that not to be enough.

But the worst thing about being busy on the business side is that I don't get to see any films. While I'm not here to review, I like to see films. And I actually think it is important, fundamental even, for entertainment reporters to see a selection of the things that they are writing about. Frustrating.

So with the PPP prizes handed out at 8pm on Monday night, I got to see my first movie at 9pm.

I followed that by holing up today in the Primus cinema and watched two more: "Parking" from Taiwan and Korean hit "Public Enemy Returns." That's more like it.
