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.

So this week Hellboy II comes out, and advance word has it that Guillermo del Toro has forgotten about creating three-dimensional characters and instead spent all of his time trying to dazzle us with special effects. Of course, you might remember a time in the sixties and seventies when three-dimensional characters were special effects—in which case you should get yourself down to the Fox Theatre to check out the 3D Film Festival. We're kind of amazed that this festival snuck out of nowhere! It's pretty exciting! The fairly lengthy trip out to the Fox (it's at 2236 Queen Street East) is going to be totally worth it to see a masterpiece like Dial M for Murder in 3D (starting at 7 p.m. tomorrow night) or a rare oddity like Andy Warhol's Flesh for Frankenstein 3D (starting at 9:15 p.m. tomorrow night). Oh, and don't worry—they're providing the 3D glasses.
