Downtown ( Free Screenings at Dundas Square )

It seems everywhere you go these days, people are trying to remind you that times are hard. While I’m ever the optimist, I certainly can’t argue that times are not hard…but if all you ever see and hear are reminders about how hard times are, doesn’t that make it harder for us to pull together as a society and make things better?

But I digress…

In such “hard times”, what could be better than to be able to relax and watch a movie for free? Truly, “free” is well within everybody’s recession-tightened budget, right? Well right on cue, the organizers of events at Dundas Square in Downtown Toronto have announced this year’s schedule of free screenings.

The theme for this year is a tad flimsy, they’ve gone with the somewhat ambiguous “Adrenaline Rush” as a program. The showings will go as follows…

July 28th: CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON, 8:45PM
August 4th: CAST AWAY, 8:36pm
August 11th: GLADIATOR, 8:37pm
