This week’s NOW is understandably packed with pictures of famous people at the film festival, but if you’re getting sick of seeing red carpets, I have a suggestion for you: Go see “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World”.
Seriously. It’s at the Bloor this weekend, and it’s still playing at the Carlton. I know you haven’t seen it yet, because if you had it would have made more money, so go see it! It’s terrific fun!
But if you’re still bent on TIFFing, here’s NOW’s list of last-minute recommendations, including “Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives” and “The Trip“. Forty-odd films in, and they’re at the top of my list — along with “Meek’s Cutoff“, screening again today and Sunday afternoon.
Oh, and if you find yourself in the vicinity of the Lightbox tonight, I’m introducing a free screening of Bruce McDonald’s “Roadkill” at 10 pm, as part of that ongoing retrospective of films launched by the festival. Hope to see you there!
Would the prediction that 127 Hours wins this year’s TIFF audience award be classified as a “no-brainer”?
I wonder. “Black Swan” has been building up steam, too …
