MSN pays special attention to TIFF and all the programs and films this year.  But on page 2, there's some extra special love for the Midnight Madness program and Colin Geddes, who talks about a movie he's excited about:

"I'm really excited to show an Australian film called 'The Loved Ones,' that's a directorial debut by a young man named Sean Byrne. And that's one of the joys of being a film festival programmer: being able to showcase and champion a filmmaker that no one knows anything about. I mean, that's basically what happened with Eli Roth when we showed 'Cabin Fever' [in 2002], and I would describe 'The Loved Ones' as 'Misery' meets 'Carrie' meets 'Pretty in Pink' from Australia."

And there's some sound advice:

"Geddes advises you to talk to your fellow line members as you wait for films to get a sense of what they've loved, and maybe get a surprise. "I remember back in the day, 1990 or 1991, there was this one guy I kept seeing all the time who just looked like this hung-over reporter, and I saw him line up all the time," Geddes says. "And then, lo and behold, [writer-director Quentin Tarantino] got up onstage and introduced 'Reservoir Dogs.' You never know who you're gonna be beside. When you're in an audience for a film, you could be sitting beside the director, the director's mother, the producer or just some wonderful person who loves the same films as you do."

The Loved Ones screens at TIFF on: Sunday September 11, 11:59PM - RYERSON / Tuesday September 15, 3:30PM - SCOTIABANK THEATRE 2 / Thursday September 17, 6:30PM - VARSITY 4
