PARTY: Get those digital cameras charged, ladies, because Raptors star Chris Bosh is commemorating his twenty-fifth birthday in style this evening with a super sweet public party that will inevitably make all those lavish parties on MTV's My Super Sweet Sixteen seem kind of bush league. Though originally scheduled to be held at CiRCA, Bosh's bash is now being held at Liberty Village's Maro (a bar "supper club" that needs to hire someone immediately to add a "Skip Intro" button to their website). DJs Whoo Kid and Starting From Scratch will spin all the fly beats. Oh, and some dude named Busta Rhymes is supposed to perform. Advance tickets can be purchased via Ticketweb. Ka-BOSH, indeed. Maro (135 Liberty Street), 10 p.m., $25.

FILM: Filmmaker Edgar Wright, who's currently in town to direct Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, is taking Kevin Smith's initiative by curating a mini film-festival of his own at the Bloor Cinema. "The Wright Stuff" runs sporadically until April 12 and will screen Wright's favourite films (among them Shaolin Soccer, Drunken Master 2, and The Brood) alongside a few of Wright's own films. Being screened tonight in a double bill are Wright's 2004 zombie parody Shaun of the Dead and his 2007 crime-medy Hot Fuzz. Wright will stick around for a Q&A after the screenings. Bloor Cinema (506 Bloor Street West), doors at 6:30 p.m., $18.
