Just outside a quaint little Irish coastal town, a green comet of sorts crashes into an ocean. A fishing boat goes to check it out, thinking it was a flare, and the crew is quickly killed by some sort of creature. So begins the opening film of the 2012 Toronto After Dark film festival, which […]

One of the fun time wasters of this year’s Toronto International Film Festival was “TIFF Bingo.” The game was a mix of traditional bingo and a scavenger hunt, in which you you check off boxes such as “Atom Egoyan Sighting” or “Vote for People’s Choice” and you would tweet your progress to a hashtag.
