| Old-fashioned ad for the Humber cinema |
After being closed for nearly eight years, the Humber Cinema is scheduled to reopen this evening with Fast Five being the first film to be played. I will head to the theatre tomorrow and I will include by thoughts on the restored theatre in my review of the film.
Here are some photos I snapped from today’s Toronto Star, heralding the return of the theatre:

It is time for the ninth entry in my year-long series in which I revisit some of the most classic films to be released 30 years ago in the year 1982 (the year of my birth). In a last-minute change, I decided to switch from talking about Fast Times at Ridgemont High this month to…

The Special Presentations programme is probably second only to Galas in terms of making up the celebrity presence at TIFF (and in the last few years, Special Presentations started to cost the same premium price as Galas). I already mentioned a few Special Presentations (along with Galas) in a previous post, however now that most…
It is time for the eleventh (and penultimate) entry in my year-long series in which I revisit some of the most classic films to be released 30 years ago in the year 1982 (the year of my birth). This month I will discussing the film that is probably the most ambitious film made by Jim…
