Welcome to Film Fan Fridays for Friday April 6, 2012!
Posters: Fightville / The Moth Diaries & Bully (Courtesy of Alliance Films)
The vast majority of our releases this week are limited release (7 out of 8!) and there is lots to choose from including 4, count 'em 4, Canadian films. Starting here at home those Canadian films including The Girl in the White Coat and Lovers in a Dangerous Time, plus two co-pros of the Canadian/Irish boarding school/vampire The Moth Diaries (I have to see this one!) and China/Canada co-pro documentary The Vanishing Spring Light. If documentaries are your thing there are even more to choose from including the MMA doc Fightville which I have been very much looking forward to, plus we have awareness doc that's Bully which has been getting lots of attention not only for the subject matter, but also for it's rating controversy in the States (Bully is rated PG here on Ontario; see the parameters of that rating here). Last up for limited releases is The Salt of Life / Gianni e le donne, a sequel to Mid-August Lunch.
In wide release this week we have only one film taking on a larger number of screens and that is American Reunion, a part of the American Pie series and has it really been long enough for them to reunite? Wow.
