Film Fan Fridays for Friday July 17, 2009

Hello Film Fans and Fanatics!

Welcome to Film Fan Fridays for Friday July 17, 2009! I'm missing all you Toronto folks as I write this from the East Coast of our country all the way in Nova Scotia!

In limited release this week we have 4 new release starting with what I call the festival sweetheart film of the year, because everyone who has seen it loves it: (500) Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a non-romance relationship film that certainly has a real feel to it. Switching to more that real feel the rest of our films this week are with The Stoning of Soraya M. which is based on a true story, Séraphine is a biopic on the French artist and documentary The End of the Line.

No wide releases this week that are new to theatres but Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince did just open 2 days ago.

Have a great weekend!

Shannon
