It feels like I’ve been hammer-down for the last two weeks running. But given that I’m back up to a nine-movie week, things couldn’t have been that bad, right? Sorta one of those things that puts the days into perspective.

Beginning this week, expect to see a lot of Hot Docs content entering into these posts leading up to the festival which begins in three weeks. I have a very large stack of screeners sitting in front of my TV and have finally begin going through them (I’ve already watched a handful more just today). I thought about giving them their own little section, but have instead just settled on tagging them.

‘Twas a week of goodness all around!

Here’s what was on tap…

Screenings
SOURCE CODE – Which I sorta wanna watch again.
PAUL – Which won the Friday night spot over HANNA and ARTHUR, and was a happy surprise.

Blu-Rays/DVD’s I’ve Never Seen
DUCK SOUP – My first real experience with The Marx Brothers (and not the last)
RON SEXSMITH: LOVE SHINES – Hot Docs screener: One that really affected my already high opinion of this amazing Canadian singer/songwriter.
WE WERE HERE – Hot Docs screener: I can’t remember the last time a doc made me this sad.

Blu-Rays/DVD’s I’ve Watched Before
INDIANA JONES & THE TEMPLE OF DOOM – Show of hands; Who remembers Dan Akroyd’s cameo?
INDIANA JONES & THE LAST CRUSADE – Sensing a trend yet?
CASABLANCA – “I came here for the waters” “What waters, we’re in the middle of the desert? “I was misinformed.”
INDIANA JONES & THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL – I still like it. Shut up.
