Today was a bit rough getting out as we were out drinking last night for a friend’s birthday. Luckily we started with something light and funny: ‘Management’. A pretty good Romantic Comedy starring Steve Zahn and Jennifer Aniston. It’s different cause the lead is Zahn and not Aniston and it’s well written. Not something I’d tell you to run out and see but it’s worth seeing.

2nd movie today was the top winner at the Venice Film Festival, Darren Aranofsky’s ‘The Wrestler’. I was really looking forward to it as Aranofsky is one of my favourite directors and it did not disappoint. It was a much smaller, intimate film then I expected but that’s not a bad thing. Mickey Rourke was phenomenal, this performance will remind everyone just how good he is and I can see an Oscar Nomination for him for this film. It didn’t blow me away like I thought it would, not sure why, but it was still a great film and I look forward to seeing it again.

Getting too far behind!
Last movie yesterday was Rod Lurie’s ‘Nothing But The Truth’ and it was pretty good, this despite us having the worst audience we’ve ever had at TIFF — a whole row of shit-eaters behind us who wouldn’t shut the fuck up and a crazy woman next to me who kept exclaiming ‘Oh no!’ and ‘Aaaah’ and ‘Oh, it’s her’, etc. I wanted to punch her in the neck.
Like I said, even deapite those fuckers we still enjoyed it, its worth seeing.
Even better was the Q and A with Rod Lurie afterwards, that guy is crazy enthusiastic, funny, informative and a blast!
