TIFF Star Power

Day 4 of the Film Festival is now over, and we've used up 9 tickets, and have another 3 for tomorrow! Busy days, since we have 24 movies to see. There have been many fine films, with directors and stars in house for the Q&A. List so far: "Passchendalele", "RocknRolla" (director Guy Ritchie was there), Plus tard, tu comprenderas" French director was there), 2/3 of a Polish film, "33 Scenes from Life" (because the bus and subway was late on a Saturday morning, so we arrived late),


"Lovely, Still", (with Martin Landau and Ellen Burstyn, who were there, as well as the director, Nik Fackler, a sweet young man, who wrote and directed the film, and he's only 23, and wrote the story when he was only 18! Someone to watch for in the future. He was having a great time!

Josie had fun being in a photo with the director and Adam Scott, a movie star.),


Today we saw Christopher Walken in "$5. a Day" funny, and sad at the end, "Ghost Town", with Greg Kinnear and a British stand-up comic who were excellent, very funny, and finally "Is Anybody There" with Michael Caine, who was there with the Director. Seems like most of our choices involved death of some kind, and lives and living of old folks. At least the old stars are getting work! Three more slated for tomorrow, so we'll see how many we tally up at the end.
