Friday: 2 new films; Knocked Up (cont'd), Danny Ocean

Two new Canadian films open up today. Guy Maddin's Brand Upon The Brain! opens up with a limited run, and Toronto writer-director-actor Johnny Kalangis releases his second film Love is Work on one screen in Toronto (BTW did anyone see his first? Jack & Jill? Anyone?)

On IMDB Love Is Work is said to be a 2005 film, such is the nature of independent cinema in Canada. Playback has an article on Kalangis' unique distribution plan. I read a scathing review of Love Is Work in the NOW,so I don't hold too much hope for this one. See it while you can folks, it won't last long.

In the Knocked Up Vs. Rebecca Eckler saga, D.B. Scott has further news on his site Canadian Magazine.

And in the "you have to love Québec category" in certain cities and towns Ocean's 13 is called Danny Ocean 13 which is such a better title.
