I’ll admit that when it comes to The Toronto International Film Festival, the Midnight Madness programme isn’t exactly my beat. I’m a bit of a wuss (There – I admitted it). But given what’s on tap for this year, I might have to stay up a little late a few nights and join the rowdy…
Up On the Roof (Free Movies at The Drake Hotel)
Not quite sure how this one got past me for so long, but there is yet another free movie series happening in Toronto this summer. The sad thing about me being late to the party is that half of the movies have already played. So if you’re a big fan of TANK GIRL, my apologies.…

I used to watch movies at theatres like The Kingsway, The Paradise, and The Music Hall all the time…but these days I usually find myself succumbing to stadium-seat comfort. But after…
What a Wonderful World

If you aren’t a member, you can become a member at the door for a mere three dollars. They serve free cookies,…
