Hey Toronto – Wanna see a free movie? Well this this week is your lucky week. For starters, this week starts The Safecracker Series at Dundas Square, with their free screening of GRAND SLAM.

Room for Squares (Free Movies at Dundas Square)
As I continue to wait for a summer movie to dazzle me, at least I can take solace in the fact that I can see some assured fun times on a big screen in Toronto this summer. Unfortunately, they are primarily fun times I’ve already seen, but they still make for a good night out…
