Attention Canadian Readers! Edgar Wright wants to give you HEAD! And Berkeley! And Swan! And Spaced!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. It looks like Edgar Wright has kept his love of screenings alive, even during the (I'm sure) complicated pre-production of SCOTT PILGRIM! You lucky Torontonians get a chance to see some really great flicks at The Bloor, presented by Edgar himself.

Next weekend (the 22nd) there is a Spaced marathon, which is the big draw (especially since it's a free show). However, this weekend gives us three great flicks. You have the classic DePalma flick PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE (which will also be a big draw) but I want to give Mr. Wright credit for programming the trippy '60s flick HEAD (starring the Monkees, hey-hey) and the Busby Berkeley classic DAMES, which I discovered early on in my AMAD run (click here to read my thoughts on that).

Spaced will sell out. Phantom of the Paradise will probably sell out. But I implore you Canadian readers to give your Saturday the 14th (tomorrow) to Head and your Sunday the 15th to Dames and Phantom of the Paradise. It's a treat to see all of those on the big screen and to add some sugar into the mix, Edgar said he will french kiss any single person who goes to all three shows this weekend. Fact.

I wish I could be there, but I will be drowning in movies myself here in Austin... but I guarantee I won't see one movie at SXSW that is better than DAMES.
