TIFF 08 – Days 4&5 – Briefly

·

Haven’t had much time to write.  Got another busy day today, so just a few quick things:

  • Ghost Town:  an otherwise completely ordinary film was quite funny thanks to Ricky Gervais
  • The People Speak:  Howard Zinn, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin and Chris Moore along with surprise guests Marissa Tomei and Viggo Mortensen discuss the documentary based on Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States.  Spotted in the crowd were Tim Robbins, Danny Glover, and Naomi Kline.
  • Zack and Miri Make a Porno:  Kevin Smith at his best – probably his best work.
  • Not Quite Hollywood:  “Rock”umentary about Oz-sploitation films – crazy and fun.
  • L’Heure d’ete:  SNOOZEfest!
  • Good:  it took some discussion afterwards for me to decide if I liked this film.  I do.

I’ve taken lots of good video and some not so good pictures but the computer I’m using is wayyyy too slow – will upload when I’m home.
