Day 6

Day 6 and it’s time to turn this festival around.

After 2 bad films (Le Douxieme Souffle and Bill) I’m more than ready for “Atonement” which is one of the films I have been most looking forward to. Following up the British literary adaptation I have my first Midnight Madness film, “Stuck.” The Midnight Madness programme features the cutting edge, horror, gore, and all-around unusual and has featured films like “Borat” and “Hostel” in the past. Check out the Midnight Madness blog for more on what’s showing nightly (my boyfriend, Shane McNeil is a contributing reporter highlighting the Madness with pictures and videos of zombies and fans).

Celebrity Sightings: James McAvoy (I LOVE HIM), Keira Knightley, director Joe Wright, director Stuart Gordon, Mena Suvari, and a smattering of cast members from “Stuck”

Buzz in Line: Is Stephen Rea here? “Atonement” is beautiful, hearing more good buzz about “Boy A” and “Sad Vacation”

Thoughts: I wish the Elgin theatre wasn’t so cold, Midnight Madness crowds are a strange and unusual bunch

While I’m plugging other blogs, for a more in-depth, and up-to-date TIFF blog, check out my friend’s site, The Dark of the Matinee, which goes back to being a regular movie blog once the fest is over.
