Toronto’s Rep Cinemas don’t seem to making a big deal about Valentine’s Day this week, and I for one am thoroughly pleased. Who needs uncomfortable reminders of singledom, or the insane pressure of doing something Valentine-worthy for their sweetie? Not us. Instead, let’s concentrate on getting out and watching some movies – with, or without a special guy/gal on your arm.

Fox Theatre

Continuing this week at the Fox is My Week with Marilyn, The Muppets, and the new English-language version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara. Starting Saturday, February 17 is Wim Wenders’s new Pina, a 3D documentary tribute to ballet choreographer Pina Bausch. Also opening is Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol, Jason Reitman’s Young Adult, and Beginners. Check their website for all the details and showtimes.

Projection Booth

The Projection Booth will continue this week with multiple screenings of Le Havre, Midnight in Paris, Nostalgia for the Light, and My Perestroika. Then it’s another Super Punch Saturday called Drunk-Fu with Taoism Drunkard at 9:00 pm and Shaolin Drunken Fight at 11:00 pm. On Sunday, February 19 at 7:00 pm is Bollywood Basement featuring Bobby, a sort of Bollywood teen romance. For all the details, times, and trailers, check out their website.

Revue Cinema

Up this week at the Revue will be screenings of My Week with Marilyn, Young Adult, Tree of Life, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and Tom Cruise’s latest Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol. Starting on Friday, February 17 is Adventures of Tintin and Roman Polanski’s new one, Carnage.

On Sunday, it’s a special treat, with Book Revue at 3:30 pm. For your viewing and discussion pleasure it’s Martin Scorsese’s adaptation of Edith Wharton’s novel Age of Innocence (1993), starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pheiffer and Winona Ryder, along with the wonderful Jonathan Pryce, Richard E. Grant, and Geraldine Chaplin. Check the Revue website for all the details and showtimes.

The Royal

Continuing until Thursday at the Royal is director Steve McQueen’s Shame starring the talented Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan, and the recent French drama The Snows of Kilimanjaro, which premiered at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. The new documentary Puppet begins on Friday, February 17. Cult favourite The Room will have a late night screening on Friday at 11:30 pm. And on Saturday, February 18 at 7:00 pm the Royal presents Melissa! and other short films from local production group Ravavilad Productions. Check their website for details, showtimes and trailers.

Toronto Underground Cinema

Since February 10, the Underground has been featuring I Hate Toronto: A Love Story, a quirky Toronto comedy that will continue screening until February 14. On Thursday, February 16 at 9:30 pm is a Rue Morgue Cinemacabre event featuring a 35 mm screening of Slumber Party Massacre (1982). Friday, February 17 is the return of the Remake/Remodel series which shows you the classic film followed by its contemporary remake. This Friday features the 1950 Noir classic DOA at 7:00 pm, and the more recent Crank (2006) starring Jason Statham at 9:30 pm. Single films are $8 or $14 for the double feature.
