Its all over...damn




Well what a week! It was a blast this year at the Toronto Film Festival, even more so because I had a camera pass which allowed me on all of the red carpets and into some press screenings. Went to a couple of parties and go free food and more importantly free drinks, which is always a bonus.
Going to do a little re-cap of some of the movies I saw and what I thought of them, so here goes:

All the boys love Mandy Lane
Wow, Mandy Lane is smoking hot which makes this movie amazing lol, scroll down to see pics of her. What really pissed me off was that she didn't show up for the World Premiere of the movie, she is filming some show on the CW network, fuck the CW errr. The film got picked up by the Weinstein's so hopefully it will get a wide release.

An Evening with Michael Moore
Very, very fun. It was a great thing to see Moore talk about his movies and his experiences through life. Got to see clips of his new movie Sicko which should be amazing.

The Host
This movie was long and boring, it was not very good and it annoyed me most of the time. It was the first movie I saw and the theatre was hot, so it was not a great first experience for the fest.

The Last Kiss
Rachel Bilson is hot. It's a very depressing movie though...check it out.

Pan's Labyrinth
Probably the Best Movie I saw at the festival. Dark fairy tale, very cool

Renaissance
Terrible and boring...worst movie of the fest.

Rescue Dawn
It was amazing to see the World Premiere at Ryerson with the director and Christian Bale in attendance. Enjoyed the movie, it wasn't great and it dragged on at parts, but is worth seeing.

S&Man

No one will ever see this, so I guess it's cool that I did. Made on Digital and done like a Doc, it was weird but unique.

Severance
A lot of fun, great crowd for the showing. It really is the Office meets Deliverance and it works! This will get a release and should do very well.

Suburban Mayhem

It was a 50/50 crowd, I enjoyed watching this slutty Aussie chick say fuck you to her father and cause chaos in the suburbs, but some people don't like that lol.

Chronicles of a Prisoner
About the Argentinean government capturing people and torturing them...it was ok, not a happy movie.

Love and Other Disasters
God I wanted to shoot myself. So bad...except that Brittney Murphy is always wearing lingerie.

And the other movie I saw that was outside the festival but had a press screening was Feast. It was a lot of fun and was actually better then most of the movies I saw at the festival lol http://www.feast-movie.com
So there we go...lots of movies over a span of a week, not as many as I wanted, but hey, when you have to work and fit in movies this is what happens.
