Hello Everyone, As most of you know, this week many Chlotrudis members head north to the Toronto International Film Festival! We will be seeing a whole bunch of films all week, and I was going to set up something for this week’s Monday Night Movie of the Week, but nothing really calls out for it. I will leave the decision up to Beth Caldwell, who offerred to plan...
It’s 10:09 p.m. on Wednesday night, and we’re all packed (except for my laptop, of course) and ready to go to the Toronto International Film Festival tomorrow morning. I must mention how generous and cool Scot is, as he let me extend our trip by two days… for a couple of reasons, but mainly so I could see Tsai Ming-Liang’s THE WAYWARD CLOUD on Friday night. It helps...
It’s so nice to see that year after year, the system we use to get our tickets is so reliable. For out-of-towners, one way to get tickets for Toronto is to buy them in advance through the lottery system. Some of our members do this, but I’ve never bothered due to the exorbitant cost. It’s true, upon arrival at the box office on Day One, a large percentage of the...
I fell behind during the last few days of the festival, but I will do my best to catch up in the next day or so. Wednesday’s high point was catching Atom Egoyan’s WHERE THE TRUTH LIES, a film by my favorite director that has been plagued since its screening at Cannes by the ratings board here in North America. It has received an NC-17 rating for some explicit...

After starting her career as an actor in Martin Scorsese’s film MEAN STREETS, Robinson turned to producing such quality Hollywood films as FROM HELL, ONCE AROUND, RUNNING ON EMPTY, and AFTER HOURS. Chlotrudis board member Beth Curran enjoyed a telephone conversation with...
Hello Everyone, As is often the case, we follow up a week where little of interest is released with a week where several new releases are calling out for attention. I must beg your indulgence once again as we swap next week’s movie of the week to Tuesday. Join Chlotrudis members Tuesday night at the Coolidge Corner Theatre, 7:30 p.m. for Mike Mills’ THUMBSUCKER...
We are pleased to announce that our 6th annual Short Film Festival will open and close with short films by Don McKellar, acclaimed Canadian director/writer/actor. Most recently screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, the Monday October 3, 2005 showing at the Coolidge Corner Theatre will mark the shorts’ U.S. premiere, and will be shown out of competition...
