Next year? Buying the full Midnight Madness package of films – assuming that I can buy the not-actually-the-midnight-showings versions if I can’t use a week of vacation time for TIFF. Next year, if I...

A lot of my 2nd choices were toss-ups with the 1st choices in those time slots, so I’m happy to end up with no vouchers and have to try to come up with 3rd choices for some pretty tight spots. These...
View ArticleTwiggy, God Bless America, Hick (440/254)
GOD BLESS AMERICA – It’s a film about rude people, inconsiderate people, and evil people who make others dance for their amusement. It’s also a film about shooting those motherfuckers right in their...
View ArticleIn Darkness, Tony: London Serial Killer (442/255)
IN DARKNESS – Two and a half hours but it felt like more – plenty of blackness and waiting, punctuated with occasional bursts of activity. It’s largely quite numbing; boring, even. Shockingly few of...
View ArticleLivid (443/256)

View ArticleUFO In Her Eyes, Juan of The Dead, Tyrannosaur (453/260)
UFO IN HER EYES – A little bit science-fiction and a little bit social commentary. An apparently corrupt village bureaucrat takes a woman’s report of a UFO and spins it up into a self-serving tourist...

VIOLET & DAISY – Part Tarantino style quirky dialogue and characterization, this is the story of 8 and 9; a pair of teenage assassins need some cash to buy the latest and greatest Barbie Sunday...
