TIFF

The Toronto International Film Festival is one of the biggest and most celebrated film festivals of the year. This is one of Toronto's biggest events and brings people from all over the world to catch a glimpse of the Hollywood stars and to view some of the best movies of the year. Each year hundreds of films from across the world are showcased for the very first time at the festival and many of these films go on to win awards. TIFF is well known for featuring films that go on to win the most coveted award the OSCAR.

As you may know tickets went on sale this past Friday and I had a difficult time getting anything. The phone line was very busy and their site had so many people on at the same time it kept crashing. So unfortunately, I didn't get any red carpet tickets this year but I did get tickets to see the movie Never Let Me Go which stars Keira Knightley and looks like a very riveting film.

Last year my sister and I saw two films at the festival one which was called Get Low starring Robert Duvall, Bill Murray and Sissy Spacek. This movie was one of the best movies I have seen and I am still waiting for it to come out in theatres. It is one I think will get a lot of Oscar attention, so look out for it!

For those of you who haven't been to the film festival I highly recommend it there are some great films to see and there are still a few tickets available so check it out. If you
can't get tickets to the film you want to see try standing in the rush line. Sometimes people who are given free tickets to a screening don't show up so those seats do become available at the last second, however beware if you come with someone else you may be split up and have to sit on your own.

If you don't have tickets to any movies but want to try and catch a glimpse of some of the stars check out Toronto Life's Article on some of the hot spots in Toronto where the celebrities hang out when they are in town. http://www.torontolife.com/daily/tiff-2010-hot-spots-map/

Have fun celebrating the film festival everyone!
