I’ll be hosting a screening and Q&A with Academy Award winning director Daniel Roher for the new documentary “Blink” at the Varsity Cinema (55 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON M4W 1A5) in Toronto on Saturday, October 5, 2024 at 7 pm.
Some info on the film: When the Pelletier family’s three children are diagnosed with a rare, incurable disease that leads to severe visual impairment, they choose to embrace the time they’ve been given by embarking on a round-the-world journey. At once heartwarming and heartbreaking, BLINK is an epic story of family, love, and living life to the fullest.
I’ll be doing the on-screen introductions for “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “Rear Window” at Cineplex’s Classic Film Series this October and November!
Find out which famous film director was so traumatised by “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” he became a vegetarian for four years after seeing the film and my favorite line in “Rear Window.”
50 years ago, five youths on a weekend getaway in the Texas countryside fell prey to a butcher in a mask made of human skin and his cannibalistic family, and horror cinema would never be the same. Violent, confrontational, and shockingly realistic, director Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre terrified audiences in a way never thought possible when it was unleashed on a politically and socially tumultuous America in 1974.
Rear Window (1954)
Select Screenings from Nov. 8 – 14

The story of a recuperating news photographer who believes he has witnessed a murder. Confined to a wheelchair after an accident, he spends his time watching the occupants of neighbouring apartments through a telephoto lens and binoculars and becomes convinced that a murder has taken place.
