Beginning my 2008 TIFF screenings with $9.99 felt a little like going to a buffet dinner and heading straight for the dessert cart. Not that I’d ever talk someone out of such a decision.

The Most Wonderful Time of The Year (Thoughts on TIFF Day 1)
…yeah, actually I think for me The Toronto International Film Festival is in fact more fun than Christmas. It all starts tonight for me with my first screening of $9.99 at AMC. So as TIFF goes along, I’ll be putting up two types of posts. I will, of course, be posting reactions to the movies…
