I ♥ Canadians

A couple of months ago, I ended up at the premiere of Born To It, a simple and inspiring film by director Tim Thompson about “creating, sustaining and chasing your dreams.”

The 92-minute documentary features the musical journeys of five independent Toronto-based musicians and the roads they have travelled to sustain their artistic existence.

Not really music-related, but still a win for Canadians!  Let that Freak Flag fly!

Canadians are freaking out the Sundance Film Festival.

The Canuck reputation for mildness has been shattered and splattered all over the snowy mountains here in visceral movies that pursue the shocks and profits of the horror, sci-fi and thriller genres.

“I think I speak for everyone: my pulse is like 170,” a man in the Library Center Theatre audience told actor Ryan Reynolds early Sunday morning, at a Q&A session following the midnight premiere of Buried, a hostage thriller directed by Rodrigo Cortés.
