On the beat: My grueling festival schedule

Just spent three hours plotting my schedule for Glasgow Film Festival 2011. Safe to say, I'll be a busy lass in February. I hope to post reviews, chat and gossip after each screening/event, and I've included links to trailers below (mostly for new releases). In the meantime, hold all calls...
