Film Festival Toronto has a bunch of those small theatres left, and now they're part of the endless film festivals. It seems like everywhere you turn, you can find another film festival cropping up. So I picked up the festival rag today, when I was out for brunch with the family, and what do you know? Movies -- I would be interested in a few!
  • Dion Conflict: Trailer Trash [PG] - what this is a sitting of just trailers. You should find stuff here that you'd never think you'd see again. A lot from B-Movies, independent films, etc. [Feb. 21, 9:30PM, The Royal Theatre]
  • Bubba Ho-tep - on the surface, this sounds stupid. The book is probably way better -- but I want to see, if only so I can see Bruce Campbell in a new flick. [Feb. 27-Mar. 3/Mar. 4-10, 9:30PM, The Royal Theatre]
  • Dragon Princess [14A] - Fridays at the Royal Theatre, they feature a kung fu movie from the 60s or 70s. Remember those kick ass movies? Now you can watch them just like you did back in the old days -- on really small screens! The next movie coming up is Dragon Princess. [Feb. 13, 9:45PM, The Royal Theatre]
  • Baraka [PG] - from the cinematographer of Koyaanisqatsi, comes Baraka -- I haven't seen it yet, but I saw Koyaanisqatsi years ago, and I still remember it as beautiful film. [Feb. 25, 7PM, The Royal Theatre]
  • The Last Samurai [14A] - I missed this one when it was first released, so I guess this is my second chance. [Feb. 20, 9:25PM, The Revue Cinema]

    Civil disobedience is called for

    Image
    In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah. The lease of the land to oil companies, to allow drilling, has been contested by many who wish to preserve the pristine land, located near Arches National Park, the White River, the greater Desolation Canyon region, Labyrinth Canyon, the benches east of Canyonlands National Park, Nine Mile Canyon, the Book Cliffs and the Deep Creek Mountains. It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
