Still way behind!

Trying to catch up and here so I will try and condense a few posts into one. So yesterday was Day 6, I think, it's getting hard to keep track of what day it is and where you are going. So much running around and yesterday was so hectic I didn't even have time to post except for that one posting the morning.

First movie of the day was Kathryn Bigelow's 'The Hurt Locker'. It's about the U.S. military bomb squad while in Iraq. It was very good, even better then I expected. With some intense and exciting action scenes, great direction and a great cast, I have nothing to complain about this one. Shot digitally and financed by her self I hope a studio picks it up and that it does well.

Second film was 'Tale 52', a Greek Lynchian mindfuck of a film kind of about a man going psychotic after the disappearance of his girlfriend. Sort of. It was too slow and long and would improve greatly with some editing, I'd take out a good 10 to 15 minutes. I dosed off for a few minutes during this one. It also boasts possibly the most walk-outs I've seen at a TIFF film yet. So, not recommended.

Next film was much anticipated by me, it's the new Danny Boyle film, one of my favourite directors, and it's called 'Slumdog Millionaire'. It's about an Indian boy who winds up on India's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and we see his life and how he got there. It's funny, exciting, moving, interesting and with a great soundtrack and more -- I loved it! The sold-out crowd absolutely loved it and I wouldn't be surprised if it wins the People's Choice award. It also has the potential to be a hit along the lines of 'Bend it Like Beckham'. Highly recommended and I can't wait to see it again!

On the way out we walked by Amanda Peet and headed home.

Phew. Now I can start posting about today.
