Film Friday: “My Bloody Defiance” / Torontoist
“So where were you last night when the power cut hit? We can tell you where we were—sitting in the Bloor Cinema watching some old-school trailers and waiting for the Rue Morgue screening of the original My Bloody Valentine to start. While initially confusing—the lights going off in a cinema is, after all, expected, and the power had the grace to cut off directly as a trailer ended—it was unfortunate that after that point there was nothing left to do but go home without being able to ingest a classic Canadian slasher flick.”
I mention the fact I was off to see Chandni Chowk to China in an almost offhand fashion in this column. Well, I’ve seen it now, and I can quite easily say it may turn out to be one of my favourite films of this year. I sincerely recommend you check it out if you have any interest in either Bollywood or Kung Fu films, because it’s a brilliant mash-ups of the two.
