Twitch and TIFF Bell Lightbox bringing 80 in Toronto!

TIFF Bell Lightbox - the spiffy new home of the Toronto - Film International Festival have just announced their wave in winter and spring of programming and, hey! Look at what is there! A series of morning weekend of the years 80 children scifi / fantasy / adventure / presented by twitch and programmed by yours truly of horror movies! Here's the official word (so far):

back to the 1980s: February 5 to April.? 2?
Both revered and maligned, the 1980s saw the birth of a new kind of American movie: shows focused on the kid, filled with special effects that have attracted disdain from critics and the dedication of an entire generation. TIFF revit these classics from the 80s on the big screen from February 5 to April 2. This projector, programmed by twitch blogger Todd Brown, includes favorites such as spawning suite-travel time classic back to the future (1985) a digital catalog newly restored; Gremlins(1984), wickedly funny horror of kid-friendly classic about a swarm of little monsters destroying a small town of Norman Rockwell-esque; The Princess Bride (1987), a charming tribute to and send up of the classic storybook adventure; Tolkien-esque dark, fairy tale of Jim Henson dark crystal (1982). The Goonies (1985), pirate treasures hidden in the secret in their hometown caves long-lost a kiddie spin on Indiana Jones follows a team of young intrepid adventurers with Corey Feldman, Sean Astin and a teenage Josh Brolin, as they hunt for a stash. and The last Starfighter (1984), a pioneering science fiction adventure is the first film to employ all-computer generated special effects.

Here's what I tell you:

1 These movies are awesome.

2 It's a Saturday afternoon series in the morning, which means that there kid friendly films to a convivial moment of kid. Therefore, if you have a kid, bring em. If you do not have one of your own, flying an and then bring him. But try and do not forget to return them after the show. I tested these all about boy in advance and all play every bit as children now as they did for us when they turned us in a generation of film geeks.

3 Internal count children. You can get those, too.

4 Titles in the press release are not the full range! If you visit the page of the official program site Web TIFF you notice Krull and Bandits, Bandits are also part of the festivities and there are still to be appointed to bring the total up to ten.

Finally, it is obviously a very different type of programming that is normally TIFF, and it is important that it works. If you want to see these kinds of events that continue we need your support! Spread the word!
