TIFF

We started our Toronto International Film Festival frenzy this weekend, the girls and I have tickets to see 8 films in 8 days!

For someone who watches about 3 movies a year at the cinema, I'll see enough movies this week to last me the next 3 years! The girls chose our first movie in honor of me... Bran Nue Dae an Aussie Aboriginal musical. At first glance at the title, I thought it was a Vietnamese movie, and it was my Canadian girlfriend who pointed out to me that it was actually the Aussie accent. Oh dear.

What was really cool was that I got to see famous Aussies in Toronto - I was even excited to see Ernie Dingo, that's how homesick I am!

The cast in T.O. for Q&A after the movie... Rocky McKenzie, Ernie Dingo and Geoffrey Rush... pity Missy Higgins and Jessica Mauboy (remember - runner up for Aussie Idol one year?)couldn't make it coz I like them both..


Aussie film out of the way, we watched a Irish/UK film, Perrier's Bounty and The Warrior and the Wolf. The only English I understood in Perrier's Bounty was the swear words, thank god the Mandarin flick at subtitles, but it was so artsy it totally lost me. I have no idea what the movie was about, but the actor wasn't bad looking...

Toronto Summer

It was a short lived summer. It is noticeably cooler, and the sun sets earlier.
I need to wear a scarf when ride Percy in the mornings =(

These are my fave shots of Toronto this summer. If you notice a lot of shots inside random buildings, it's because there was a weekend where historical buildings around the city was opened to the public - Doors Open Toronto.



Does this entice a visit?
