Sometime today I should receive an email from TIFF telling me what films I have indeed secured tickets for.

I’m actually quite optimistic that I’ll score most of my first choices. You see, they pick a spot at random to start filling orders from to keep things fair – sorta like a wristband policy for concert tickets. While the randomly selected spot isn’t going to do my friends Kurt and Danger Girl any favours, I’m hopeful that it works out well for me. I know – that sounds bad…I’m a bit greedy after a year off.

If I get everything, than one premiere I’ll be especially looking forward to is the newest one from Alejandro “21 GRAMS” Gonzalez Inarritu. Here’s a peek at this gritty opus.
