You mean it wasn't filmed in 19th C Japan!?! How inauthentic. ;)
Cinderella Man was filmed here in TO; the sets were entire streets made-up to look like 20s and 30s New York. It was fun. Shame about the movie though.
I thought Toronto was nutty for annoying health regulations - the only street food that can be served here, for instance, is precooked meat, which is to say hotdogs and sausages: Some health code. But I do have a barber who shaves me with a real straight razor and not some phony theatrical...
I just saw The Elephant Man for the first time in years. I'd forgotten what an extraordinary film it was and how moving. It's a complex, powerful drama, but also a classic monster movie. Beautiful work by Lynch, the screen writers, cinematographer Freddie Francis and the whole cast. If you've...

My recent dvd purchases are True Confessions...
Ah, the sound of twisted knickers...
