It's been a little while since we've done one of these--and we do hope to bring "The Career Analyst" back one of these days, too--but we're back with another look at a movie not opening for a couple months, this one being Universal Studios' attempt to resurrect one of their popular comedy franchises with American Reunion. It's opening on April 6, Easter weekend when many people will be off from school and work either on Good Friday or Monday or both, and they hope that opening before what's going to be a busy summer will help them bring in some profits during the normally slower spring month.
The Toronto International Film Festival has officially been over for a couple days now and we wanted to give a quick look back at some of our favorite movies we saw there for those who haven't been following our daily coverage.
Finally, our last two reviews from the Toronto International Film Festival (other than movies we'll be reviewing with their theatrical release). We'll end things with two movies from New York City auteurs, one of them who is trying to reclaim the glory of his 1995 debut, the other who hasn't had a movie released since 1998. Todd Solontz has made a lot of movies in recent years I found to be unwatchable, so his latest Dark Horse is a surprisingly pleasurable experience, while Whit Stillman's Damsels in Distress is an extremely clever twist on college comedy stereotypes.
While lots of major studios regularly bring their movies to TIFF, Paramount has taken a different approach with their two festival offerings, as they're both movies with links to the Sundance Film Festival and produced by Steven Rales' production company Indian Paintbrush.
