Alas, the summer has witnessed its last weekend, and we return to the world of normalcy (at least until Christmas). Fall is my favourite time of year for many reasons, but reason #1 is that the Toronto International Film Festival caps off Fall with a bang for my family. I have had a tedious work schedule and sitting down to make my TIFF selections has been touch and go. But alas! I have reviewed a variety of trailers and have read excerpts about movies with no trailers. Here are Life’s a Blog’s top five movie picks that will be showing at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. #1 Mommy DIRECTOR: XAVIER DOLAN Although in French, I’m so excited to see this movie that centres on a widowed single mother (Anne Dorval), raising her violent son (Antoine Olivier Pilon) alone, finds new hope when a mysterious neighbor (Suzanne Clement) inserts herself into the mother and son’s household, providing the mother with needed support. I met director Xavier Dolan back in 2010 at TIFF. We had a long discussion about dreams and aspirations. I’m so proud that he has come this far in so little time. Mommy was The Jury Prize winner at […] Read More
Another fantastic movie created by Disney. A movie about the truth of how Walt Disney (Tom Hanks) and his attempts to obtain the screen rights to the novels of P.L. Travers (Emma Thompson) who created Marie Poppins. He had made a promise to his daughters that he would do it. This is a dramatized story about the working process during the planning of the first adaption Mary Poppins in 1964 . The movie depicts Mrs. Travers as a very controlling woman with determination that no animation was to be used. She comes across a tyrant to work with and very uncompromising lady of strict English background. I think you would of had to have the patience of God to work with her. I did enjoy the flashbacks of her childhood during the movie which helped you understand what her novels were based on. Of course there where some comical parts with her wry sense of humor. When Travers learns about the animation of penguins in the movie she quits the planning and stops the production. She goes back to England as Disney tries to figure out what her problem really is. He follows her and only after discovering the truth […] Read More
The new 30th Anniversary Special Edition of Mickey’s Christmas Carol (58 minutes) The retelling of Charles Dickens classic holiday story is remarkably restored on this special edition. The colors and sound are fantastic! Excellent work on the make over of this Disney story. Scrooge is too greedy and he forgets that Christmas is a time for kindness and generosity. He is soon reminded by some “wise” ghosts of his past and new friends of the present. He learns that giving is much better than receiving or counting his gold. This is a wonderful holiday story to begin your child’s Christmas season. Disney Intermission has the sing along to Christmas carols with Mickey and his pals. The list of Christmas melodies includes Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls and We Wish You A Merry Christmas and lots of singing to help you get in the Christmas Mood! Bonus Features Include: Yodelburg with Minnie and Mickey Hockey Champ with Donald Duck and his nephews Pluto’s Christmas Tree The Art of Skiing with Goofy Corn Chips with Donald Duck I enjoyed this movie and a great gift idea for that special child or grandchild.
