TIFF is almost over.







The Red Carpet Days are almost over. I have not had any luck gathering any more autographs, You have to plant yourself hours ahead to get the best view and position to achieve a great photo and autograph, so far none of the actors have really been ones I wanted to spend hours waiting for. Tuesday’s Red carpet was awesome I got to see Jennifer Garner and get an autograph. She was there for the movie ‘Butter’ premiere along with Olivia Wiled, Alicia Silverstone as they are all in the movie and will be walking the red carpet. I was torn because Adam Brody (Seth from the O.C) and Scott Speedman (Ben from Felicity) were also making red carpet appearances further away at the Elgin Theater at 6:00 and 10:00..But I just couldn’t manage all those red carpets in so I had to choose and Jen was top on my list although Felicity’s Scott Speedman (Ben) is sooooooo a must see!! I will have to try to spot him at the hotel he staying at, apparently he has been out on runs a couple times a day too.
So I saw Bono and the Edge…the cast from the movie 50/50, I saw Brad and Angelina from a distance for their movie premiers and the cast from Butter.
I also got to meet the director of the movie ‘The Lady’ Luc Besson-who is one incredible man, he actually wrote the screen play for the movie ‘Taken’ and so many others and also directed the movie ‘The fifth Element’. I was blown away by the movie ‘The Lady’ I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see an inspiring true story. It is gut wrenching as the situation is still going on today and freedom is still far from actuality in Bosnia but you will be inspired. I saw this movie as my favourite U2 song ‘Walk On’ was inspired by the story of Aung San Suu Kyi who lived under extreme house arrest away from her family fighting for democracy for her country. ‘From The Sky Down’ the U2 doc about the making of the ‘Achtung Baby’ Album was also out of this world. I was blown away understanding how they actually make music and how they overcame so many obstacles and stuck together and are still as close as family. I am sad that all of the excitement is ending this weekend but I think it will be good because I need to catch up on some rest! I have been going non stop for days now but it was all worth it. I had so much fun!
