Simone’s TIFF-at-a-glance

Sexy, Female Empowering French/Polish film:

Elles

Deserves to get more recognition than it will likely ever receive:

Sons of Norway

I want the old Cronenberg back:

A Dangerous Method

A good way to bum yourself out for the rest of the day, with a gripping, moving and traumatic piece of cinema:

Martha Marcy May Marlene

Cut it down to a healthy 105 minutes, then we’ll talk:

Himizu

(note: though it was some of the most gorgeous RED footage I’ve ever seen)

See Selma Hayek almost completely naked, be underwhelmed for the rest of the film:

Americano

Hide from people you know so they don’t see your yucky crying face:

The Descendants

Make the most boring sport into a gripping underdog drama, mostly because Sorkin is King:

Moneyball

Disturbing, eye-opening, try-and-get-out-of-my-brain-because-I-need-sleep kind of film:

Into the Abyss

(note: live yer dash)

Just can’t get into Geoffrey Fletcher’s writing, Saoirse Ronan is now typecast as a teen assassin (??), James Gandolfini was and always is the best part:

Violet & Daisy

Beautiful trip across the world, projected in delightful 4K:

Samsara

“Private Parts” was one of my favourite movies growing up. Yes, my parents were very liberal, and it’s too late to call child services.

Hugh and his new fiancée, in 2003

Don’t worry guys, it’s totally true love this time!

Guess what I’m wearing today!

Happy New Year!

(seeing as you’re not sleeping tonight, you won’t have to worry about nightmares.)

Partially painted iPad ad at King and Spadina. Funny how Apple’s branding is so burned in our brains that you can tell it’s an iPad ad from partially rendered hands and knees.

If you don’t like robots and sweet bass lines, you can get the hell out of my office.

“Mousetrap Never Works”

This must’ve been so fun to shoot.

High-def reminds me of leprosy. I think everyone who uses high-def should suffer from leprosy. It’s basically—all of the lepers congregate under the umbrella of high-def. If you want to go swimming in the pores of a newscaster, now you can, and you can join that club. Let me put it that way.
