More lucking out at looking around (for films)

The premiere line-up starting this friday is looking increasingly huge at ten new titles coming to town so far. So, this blog posting will be another quick spotlight on the few additional film-related events happening now and in a short while.

Cineplex Classic Film Series
Until Aug. 2011

Every month until August 2011, select Cineplex theatres are screening classic Hollywood movies. The Maltese Falcon. It's a Wonderful Life. The Wizard of Oz. Some of the greats. Probably many that only appear once in a while on TV or at repertory theatres. Check it out. http://www.cineplex.com/Events/ClassicFilmSeries/Home.aspx

Just mining my piques and queues

From this article on www.realfilmcareer.com, originally from the Ottawa Sun, "Two feature films, a made-for-television movie and a TV comedy are currently being shot in the city, and two more films are set to begin production in mid-November and December."
