We have a wonderful array of films to choose from this long weekend. I would have to say that out of the selections I would strongly recommend getting out to see Let's All Hate Toronto at the Bloor cinema, I had the opportunity to see it and I highly recommend it. Also, it is Canada Day weekend, what better way to embrace our Canadian-ness that getting out to a Canadian film?
For the readers south of the border if you are in a documentary mood you may want to check out Michael Moore's Sicko. On the flip side if you are looking for a slice of action, perhaps Live Free and Die Hard is more your pace. I was happily surprized at the latest Die Hard instalment, it truly is a good action flick. If you are looking for something a little further off the beaten track, try out the eerie Red Road by Oscar winning director Andrea Arnold. On the flip side if you are looking for something more family friendly try the animated Ratatouille.
Have a great Canada Day weekend!
p. s .... although Transformers is scheduled to come out on Tuesday July 3rd, there are showings on the evening of Monday July 2nd at Scotiabank, Varsity, The Beach, Rainbow Fairview and Market Square and other theatres in Toronto.

Lets All Hate Toronto? OK, I've never heard of this one and I'm assuming it's tongue-in-cheek?
We're going to try for the new Die Hard this weekend, I'm so excited, which is weird, I didn't think I would be but I am.
Have a great long weekend Shannon!
