Ok, we’re back home. I’m kinda sad. Gotta start work tomorrow and no more movies for a while… that was so much fun. We’re already planning next year’s visit. I’ll write more wrap up stuff later, and as promised, get back to re-reviewing some of the flicks. For now, just some more quickies: Day 6:…

Ok, some more quickie reviews – I promise, I’ve been taking notes and will try to expand on some of this stuff later. I’ll just start with a note about today: I met and had my picture taken with Bobcat Goldthwait at the screening of his film, Sleeping Dogs Lie. I was so totally giddy…

I wanted to spend more time writing these reviews before posting them, but just haven’t been as productive as I’d hoped… so I’m going to rapid-fire a handful here, but I reserve the right to revisit them later. Day 2: Wild, Wild West: Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights –…

Ok folks, sorry in advance if posts are more scarce than I’d promised. The place we rented is great – awesome location, really cute little basement apartment, but one thing is missing: the ad said there’d be Internet Access. Sadly, that seems not to be the case. There’s an Ethernet jack, so the place is…

Sorry for the lack of posts folks, turns out there’s no internet access at the place we’re staying at, as I had been told there would be… I’ve been writing some stuff offline and will try to post whenever I can. I’ll post stuff from Day 1 right now, and will try to get to…

It was a helluva workday for both of us, but now it’s done, and we’re hitting the road… real soon – just a few more things to tie up at home. Tomorrow morning we pick up our tickets, and our first film is “The Pervert’s Guide To Cinema” at 12:15. YAY!

Last weekend was a gloomy-rainy-indoorsy weekend here in Ottawa, so Danielle and I decided to get geared up for the filmfest by… seeing a bunch of films. Friday night we saw Little Miss Sunshine, and all I gotta say is, GO SEE IT NOW. If this is not the funniest movie you’ve seen all year,…

“EVERYTHING’S GONE GREEN is about when you get older and you feel certain doors closing very quickly on you. It deals with that feeling of now or never.” – Douglas Coupland I’m really looking forward to this flick – I love Coupland’s work (I think I own just about everything he’s written!), and I totally…

When trying to work out the schedule for our film selections, Google Calendar proved indispensible – we had calendars for our First Picks, Second Picks, and Other Picks, all laid out in different colours on a week-view calendar. We could enter exact start and end times of everything we were interested in and see if…

Just got a couple more picks in – single tickets went on sale this morning at 7am – and man, was the site pooched! It took forever to get them, but here’s what we got: All The Boys Love Mandy LaneThere’s something about the name of this movie that grabbed me from the moment I…
