The Bermuda International Film Festival kicks off this evening with the powerful film, Ginger & Rosa, which Sue got to take a look at during the Toronto International Film Festival. I’m very excited to be able to cover this festival, and am looking forward to stepping inside the Liberty Theater. I haven’t been in there…

Attention Toronto film fans!!! Thanks to TIFF’s Next Wave Film Festival, you will have another opportunity to catch one of my Top 12 Films of 2012 on the big screen one more time!!!

Toronto After Dark – Grabbers – Jon Wright
The opening film selected for Toronto After Dark this year was the Irish Sundance hit, Grabbers! Directed by Jon Wright, this little comedic gem had its Toronto premiere at the festival last night, and seemed to be the perfect film to set the tone for a festival that’s now known to boast “blood, beasts,…

TIFF 2012: Ghost Graduation – Javier Ruiz Caldera
I have to admit, I was secretly really excited to see this movie, but part of me was worried that it wouldn’t be as good as I hoped it would be. The plot description was, essentially, written for my 80’s-lovin’ self: Five students – a rebel, a jock, a pretty and popular pregnant girl,…

Bright new talent Saskia Rosendahl stars as Lore, a young girl who has to make her way across war-torn Germany near the end of WWII, with her much younger siblings in tow, including her infant brother, Peter. They are trying to get safely to their grandmother’s home in Hamburg after their parents have been…
TIFF 2012: Blackbird – Jason Buxton
The premise of this one intrigued me enough that I was willing to take a chance on it and hope for the best. I didn’t actually know much about it going in, which I think allowed me to take the journey it was offering even more completely, and I am glad that I did. …
TIFF 2012: Mr. Pip – Andrew Adamson
Whenever I hear that a film that is coming out has been based on a novel, I am usually prepared to just like it, at best. Movies are rarely as good as the book, and so I automatically go in with slightly lowered expectations as a result. Even – as in this case –…
TIFF 2012: Fin (The End) – Jorge Torregrossa
This is one film I wanted to see just based on the brief description provided when it was first announced, and I’m so excited that I got to see it so close to the start of my festival. Intrigued by its mysterious premise, my mind automatically started trying to come up with theories as…
