I Still Need to Finish Blogging About TIFF...

When TIFF ended I just wanted to rest and not even think about it for a while but there's still a few movies left, so I may as well finish it off.

After the excellent Martyrs on Friday it was off to Pride and Glory, starring Colin Farrell and Edward Norton. I already posted about "the ordeal" it was getting there so I won't go over that again. The movie was better then I expected, it's very gritty and realistic. The Hollywood Reporter nailed it:

That sturdy Hollywood institution known as the corrupt cop picture has been stripped right down to the studs -- both technically and emotionally -- with "Pride and Glory," a gritty, bare-knuckled take on a clan of New York's finest who have definitely seen finer days.

Directed by Gavin O'Connor ("Miracle") from a script he co-wrote with Joe Carnahan ("Narc"), the stark drama harkens back to Sidney Lumet classics like "Serpico" and "Prince of the City"-filmmaking that went after an unadorned, jagged realism, with acting to match.

Not much to add to that really. After this movie we headed to The Victory Café for a few pints, Mel's for some yummy Smoked-Meat Poutine and finally, The Beguiling for some shopping. Then home to relax and get a decent night's sleep.
