My 2010 TIFF Films & Schedule

I’m seeing 9 films at TIFF next week. I tried to stay away from the hyped films with a lot of A-list stars and directors. In years past, a lot of these films have plain sucked (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) or they’re released shortly after the festival ends.

I tried to choose films that might be not receive a North American release or might be to difficult to find after the festival ends - Easy Money, Outside the Law, The Big Picture and Submarine.

Half of my original selections were documentary films. I’ve narrowed this down to Inside Job, Waiting for “Superman” and The Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town. I wish I had tickets for Werner Herzog’s Cave Of Forgotten Dreams in 3D the luck of the draw wasn’t on my side this year. Hopefully it gets a theatrical release.

I’ve listed my film picks below in order of screening date and time:

Inside Job
Sep 9 @ 9:00pm - Ryerson Theatre

Waiting for “Superman”
Sep 11 @ 4:30pm - Winter Garden Theatre

Easy Money
Sep 12 @ 9:15am - AMC 3

Submarine

Outside the Law
