This year’s TIFF I’ve done something unlike last year’s I’ve specifically ignored the final day of the festival. Not because I’m leaving Toronto early this year — actually I’m doing the opposite — but because I imagine that like last year I’ll begin to hear a lot of buzz for one film or the other and I hope that somehow I’ll be able to fit it in somewhere on Day 11.
Regardless, here’s my schedule as it stands:

Tomorrow by this time I’ll be midair heading to the YYZ. If you’ll be there say hey in the comments or on twitter (@gmanreviews). Also if you want you can check out my TIffr page and see if you and I will be sharing a screening and if there’s anything particularly special that I’m missing let me know and I’ll see if I can fit it in.
