MIDNIGHT MADNESS

Readers of this blog know of my love for genre films, and films in the Midnight Madness section have been among my Top Picks from the last several festivals in Toronto including The Abandoned, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, Severance, Diary of the Dead, Acolytes, Deadgirl, Daybreakers, Jennifer's Body, Survival of the Dead, and The Loved Ones. "From the streets of Hong Kong to a post-apocalyptic, vampire-plagued United States, from a town run by Kung Fu killers to the oil fields of Alberta, this year’s Midnight Madness selection will take audiences into worlds that are sure to excite, shock and thrill,” said TIFF programmer Colin Geddes.

Here is the complete lineup and schedule. All screenings are held at the Ryerson Theatre:

Saturday, September 11
Bunraku -- Guy Moshe, USA
In a world with no guns, a mysterious drifter (Josh Hartnett), a young samurai and a bartender (Woody Harrelson) plot revenge against a ruthless leader (Ron Perlman) and his army of thugs, headed by nine diverse and deadly assassins. This visually stunning film is filled with uniquely choreographed action sequences of a new style that melds east with west and old school with new. The film also stars Demi Moore.

...His  right-hand man is Killer #2 (Kevin McKidd), a cold-hearted, smooth-talking, toe-tapping murderer dressed in red and wielding a deadly blade without remorse. The citizens live in fear of this pack of wolves, and wait for the hero who can overthrow the tyrant...

The upcoming dramedy Everything Must Go is headed to this year’s Toronto International Film Festival.  Based on the Raymond Carver short story, Dan Rush’s low-budget dramedy centers on a recovering alcoholic (played by Will Ferrell) “who falls off the wagon, is tossed from both his job and home, and must survive on his front lawn by selling his belongings in a yard sale.”  Ferrell scored another hit this weekend when The Other Guys scored $35.6 million at the box office this weekend.  While I enjoyed the film, I always want to see Ferrell in roles outside his comfort zone and his part in Everything Must Go sounds like one of them.

THR also reports that Brad Anderson’s thriller The Vanishing on 7th Street, starring Hayden Christensen, Thandie Newton and John Leguizamo, and Guy Moshe’s action noir movie Bunraku, starring Josh Hartnett, Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson, will play at the festival.  The 2010 Toronto International Film Festival will run from September 9 – 19th.

ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE
A Comic-Con related midnight screening was secret enough that they let in plenty of walk up attendees...including a pair of homeless guys who brought in their bags of recyclables. I believe the Weinsteins were once scheduled to put this movie out...then they didn't, and it's been in limbo for a while. It's not terrible, but is a bit tonally problematic, as the slow pace, grainy handheld cinematography, and soundtrack scream serious drama...but at heart, it still ultimately just becomes a movie about drunk horny teens dying. It's so dour about it, though, that it's not a lot of fun, but I will say that the ending was inspired, taking an “unpredictably predictable” twist and doing a lot more with it than I expected.

Prior to the movie, they showed a trailer for something called BUNRAKU. Now, I'm fairly sure many of you don't know what that means, which might be a strike against the movie; it's a Japanese style of puppet show. The movie, however, is one of those all-greenscreen shot flicks like SIN CITY, set in a world full of primary colors and cartoony backgrounds, and a really low-rent version of the cuty-folding-up effect done better in INCEPTION. But look: Woody Harrelson, Demi Moore, Josh Hartnett, Ron Perlman in gray dreadlocks...oh, and the best acting credit ever: “and introducing Gackt.”

Yes, there's a dude just named Gackt in this movie. And he looks like a real ass-kicker.
