are you fit for TIFF?

"I need to have my tea and then we can get started...."

That is all she has to say and as I back off and look at the tea cup in front of me, wondering why the milk and the sugar have not danced themselves into the bottom of the white porcelain cup waiting for me to pour the steeped blend of nigeria's finest tea leaves harvested by Mr Lipton himself.

We need to start looking at the films that we need to be a part of for this years TIFF festival!

Well looking through some of the listings and the schedules, this year's list of films look very impressive! From including the screening of Orson Welles, Citizen Kane within the essential films category is a great way to include one films best.


We will be looking at a select number of films in the next couple of installments, but we need to start somewhere and here we go:

1. Buried
Directed by Rodrigo Cortes. Staring: Ryan Reynolds.
Sept 14 9PM Ryerson; Sept 15 1230PM Varsity 8
Paul is a U.S. contractor working in Iraq. After an attack by a group of Iraqis he wakes to find he is buried alive inside a coffin. With only a lighter and a cell phone it's a race against time to escape this claustrophobic death trap.

The movie focuses entirely on the issue at hand, how did I end up buried alive. A great suspense thriller that looks as though it will take you on a roller coaster ride

2. It's Kind of a Funny Story
Directed by: Ryan Fleck, Anna Fleck S: Zack Galifianakis, Keir Gilchrist
Sept 11 9PM; Sept 17th 9AM Varsity 8
Clinically depressed teenager gets a new start after he checks himself into an adult psychiatric ward.

Be back in a bit to give more of the must sees for the festival!
