I am a fiend-for-film. On average, I go to one movie a week. I live in downtown Toronto so there are several cinemas (each housing multiple screens) within minutes of my apartment. My favourite cinema, which is three city blocks away, shows primarily independent/artsy films (seldom Hollywood stuff). I go to matinees on weekends because it is cheaper and the theatre is not as crowded, often deserted. I love the buttered popcorn and I sit in a seat in the centre of the fourth row (if it is not already occupied). Some of the excellent films which I have seen in the past couple of months are: Last Night (Dir. Don McKellar); Celebration (Dir. Thomas Vinterberg); The Red Violin (Dir. Francois Girard); Elizabeth (Dir. Shehkar Kapur); Happiness (Dir. Todd Solondz); Hilary and Jackie (Dir. Anand Tucker).
