This Week in Toronto Dec 31- Jan 6

Hey, how's your last day of the year going? Any crazy new year plans? Did you like my Top Ten Albums of the Year list form yesterday? Here's a couple ways to spend the rest of the week

THURS DEC 31

By now, you know what to do tonight. If you don't, I suggest just getting a hold of your good friends. My best New Years eve's have always been about good friends over location. Drink responsibly, and if you don't, take the TTC. They're free from midnight until 4.

SAT JAN 2

The Red Shoes playing at Cinematheque Ontario 7pm
Micheal Powell and Emeric Pressburger directed some great films through the mid part of the century (personal favorites include Peeping Tom, Black Narcissus and The Life And Times of Colonel Blimp). In 1948 the took on the world of ballet (loosely adapting the Hans Christian Anderson story) in The Red Shoes. This is a stunning film.


SUN JAN 3

Muskox at Tranzac 5pm
This fantastic instrumental act is on first at the Tranzac, so make sure you arrive early (or on time... 5pm people!)


MON JAN 4

Harold and Maude playing at Bloor Cinema 9:05
This print seems to be in constant rotation, but I can't stress enough how great the movie is. A quirky inter-generational love story. Wes Anderson owes this movie his life.


WED JAN 6

Matt Paxton at Supermarket
Brittle voiced songwriter Matt Paxton plays the Supermarket.
