The Best Movies from Toronto Film Festival, Part IPosted: September 11th, 2010 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
 
Alex here, currently at the Toronto International Film Festival where I sit through five movies and three press conferences per day. Before the festival picks up tomorrow, I put together a list of our favorite films at TIFF so far.
Some movies that we have yet to see, include Danny Boyle's "127 Hours," Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan," Ryan Reynolds' "Buried," Clint Eastwood's "Hereafter" and many others. Part two of this report will be posted on WP in a few days.
* Never Let Me Go: This is a love story told by the director of "One Hour Photo," Mark Romanek, and the writer behind "28 Days Later," Alex Garland. At its core, the film is about three characters (Keira Knightley, Andrew Garfield, Carey Mulligan) growing up at a boarding school and transitioning into adulthood. But don't confuse this movie with some mindless romantic drama. It is a well crafted film that's set in a world where these three individuals have their short future mapped out for them in the most disturbing way. "Never Let Me Go" is currently my favorite film of the festival. Not something I expected going into the screening.
* The Town: The movie can best be compared to "Heat," as far as story and the quality of acting. Unfortunately, instead of Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, we have Ben Affleck and John Hamm ("Mad Men"). Maybe that's doesn't sounds so great, but Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) makes up for it with his amazing portrayal of a violent criminal who has nothing to lose. This is a great thriller that will be considered one of the better bank robbery films. And is worth watching, if not only for the shoot-outs and chase scenes.
* Let Me In: The remake of "Let the Right One In" is much better than the original as far as violence, quality, acting, music and camera work. Unfortunately, it is almost a shot-for-shot remake that adds very little. Yes, it's one of the best horror films around and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. But beware, if you have seen the original, this one will bore you. If you haven't, run to the theaters and make sure to watch "Let Me In" first. It is far more superior.
Other movies worth mentioning are "Stone" (starring Robert De Niro and Edward Norton), "Conviction" (starring Sam Rockwell and Hilary Swank), and "Waiting for Superman" documentary. All three have their moments and are worth checking out, but fail to leave a lasting impression. "Stone" came close to being something great, but never quite reached its potential.

so you see 5 movies a day and pick 3 as the best of the festival? what about all the movies you don't see each day, they don't make the cut? it seems a bit misleading to title the article "the best movies" from the festival. guess you didn't catch Fubar II last night? you probably haven't even seen the first one. i'm getting sick of the misleading article titles.

I would have watched "Let Me In" cuz it seems very interesting, but twilight just made me hate vampires more than I ever did. Too bad cuz that Chloe gave a great performance as hit girl in Kick Ass and i wanted to see if she could do it again

I can understand Ben Affleck getting the "unfortunately", but Jon Hamm? Really?

I am sorry but i can't believe that Let Me In will beat Let The Right One In. That's just impossible.

By the way, I can't wait for Never Let Me Go, if you haven't seen the trailer:

And Alex is right, not just a romantic drama, it's got an almost sci-fi, dystopia feel to it.

I was hoping Let Me In wasn't identical to Let The Right One In since the original film was homosexual propaganda. The makers were so dishonest that they cast an actual girl to play a male vampire pretending to be a girl and now they've done the same with the remake and what's worse is they cast the unmistakably female Chloe Moretz to play the f*cking tranny!!

Dammit, I hate it when I read a book then it's superior movie version comes out, or a remake is down that is superior to the original. It's hard to appreciate a movie when you know what's gonna happen. It's kinda like how I saw Infernal Affairs before I saw The Departed. I'm with SeWerin though, it's hard to believe Let Me In will be better than the original. The original was just so damn creepy, eerie. I like Matt Reeves but I'm thinking he had to change a few things if he wanted this movie to make money from the "mainstream audience". Luckily, I've somehow never read Never Let Me Go, so I'm looking forward to that one.

Just saw Let Me In, and the poster is way off. It's not bad .. the original OWNS it though.

.... let me guess. They're gonna use some leftover Dropkick Murphy songs Marty didn't swipe for The Departed. And Matt's janitor-savant has a brief cameo as a "whicked, whicked schmart schpy! How 'bout dem apples ? " Fuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Don Draper as an FBI guy ? Load up on dem scotches and ciggs, Donny baby.
Oh, and Toronto ... it wants to be the film festival mecca like Austin is for music with (S)outh (X) By (S)outh(W)est.
More power to 'em.

... I also didn't expect to be followed around and stalked by Seymour "Sy" Parrish, carrying duck tape, a Polaroid Instamatic, plastic rap and a digital video camera, where he wanted to do his " Robert Mapplethorpe meets Ansel Adams 'photo session' (finger quotes) " with me, followed by a bried snuff film at the local Best Western.
But hey, I'm flexible (it appears).

I just signed up to say that whoever does all the WP articles is a fully fledged retard. He obviously has no idea what he is talking about. Jon Hamm is amazing and there is no way that 'Let Me In' was better than the original. f*cking idiot.

I really just didnt get Let The Right One In, I never understood what everyone was saying when they said how good it was. It had some cool moments and a great score, but it was so boring. You say that if I have seen Let the Right One In then Let Me In will bore me, but I think that is truly impossible, Let the Right One In was almost too boring for words.
