My Life On The Big Screen (Part 2)

Well this will most likely be my last post for a while (at least until Sept 19th or so). The film festival madness starts for me on Thursday night with the German film "The Lives of Others", and the midnight screening of the comedy "Borat" (Click here for trailer). So far I am set to see 30 films, but I may slip in one or two more depending on how things go. Single tickets for the festival go on sale to the general public tomorrow (Wednesday Sept. 6th) at 7 am (link). Keep an eye on the review section at EZ1 Productions Lounge for my full festival recap (handle is Draxhall) in another week or two.

My Life On The Big Screen (Part 1)

I haven't posted in a while mainly due to the fact that I am in the midst of film festival preparations. Similar to Rocky running up those famous steps, I have been conducting my own two-week training regiment. This mainly consists of watching a whole bunch of movies and getting as much sleep as possible. As my decision to attend this year's Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) was rather last minute this year, it has taken me a while to get back in to prime form. Keeping with the film fest theme, here are some songs from various soundtracks that I enjoy. I have also included some photos I took at previous T.O. film festivals (I'll post a few more in Part 2).
