TIFF 2010
So I missed the very first day of TIFF pass sales, and the 15-ticket daypass is already sold out :(
Does anyone want to split a 25-ticket daypass with me? Tickets are about $8.50 each with the daypass, but we can only get one ticket per movie, and films have to start before 5:01 pm. On the plus side, films can overlap, so we'd be able to get ( Read more... ) -
Monday Movie: Micmacs
One of the films I most regretted missing at this year’s Toronto Film Fest was Micmacs, the latest from the fabulous French film director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, best known for Delicatessen, The City of Lost Children and Amélie. It’s opening for a limited run in Los Angeles and New York on May 28, and will hopefully be showing up in Toronto indie ( Read more... ) -

Okay, so it's actually Jim's art plus artwork done by the team he put together, and it's for two video games he worked on - Legends of Zork and Utopia Kingdoms - but still!

The Adventures of Prince Achmed
Anyone remember when I was musing a few months ago about New York being lucky enough to score a screening of the recently-restored print of Lotte Reiniger's THE ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED? (it's here, if you don't)
Well, programming for the Toronto Silent Film Festival is now online, and their closing night? Lotte Reiniger! I'll be honest, I ( Read more... ) -
