As the mega frankenstorm of the century churns toward the eastern part of North America, let’s pause to consider that seemingly professional, rational adults are using the term “frankenstorm” with a straight face. Then let’s try to thing of something clever to say about this frankenstorm and Halloween being only three days away, and then realize the lingering effects of Saturday night are preventing wittiness. Then let’s decide what movie to see, because really, people, it’s just some rain with a swirl of wind. Here’s what’s happening on today on the scene in Toronto.
The TIFF Bell Lightbox continues to host Samsara, and Dial M for Murder, and Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel with multiple screening times throughout the day.
