With just a few days left until the Oscars, I'm going to suggest a Canadian film that should have been our foreign language submission, a foreign film that never had the chance (there was no award until 1957), an award winning doc that didn't fit the Academy's guidelines, a film that won Best Original Song in 1979 and the FIRST winner of the Best Picture award. In other news, while not a rep screening, there's an independent Canadian film hitting the big screen: Donovan's Echo opens this Friday at the Scotiabank Theatre. This spooky sci-fi drama about a man haunted by deja vu features Danny Glover and Bruce Greenwood and was recently seen at the Calgary and Vancouver Film Festivals.

A progressive and moving filmic adaptation of a Pulitzer Prize winning book? Check. Short cynical films about love? Check. A feminist satire of the slasher genre? Check. A sexy re-imagining of a book about propriety and infidelity? Check. A movie with Nicolas Cage in it? Check. This week we have movies to make you think, movies to make you watch and movies for you to eat popcorn. Bonus points if you can identify just which is which. Whether it's an adaptation of a book or a Hollywood blockbuster, we've got thrills and chills, love and hate, sex and violence — this week has it all.

The Christmas releases are finally making their way to the small(er) screen this week, look for Tintin at the Fox and The Muppets at the Royal, as well as a little Dragon Tattoo at both. Also, remember that little indie movie I mentioned last week? Moon Point is in full release at the AMC Yonge & Dundas this week, from Monday to Thursday for now, give it a look! And last but not lease, PADDLING ENTHUSIASTS (yes you, the one with the canoe) take heart, the Reel Paddling Film Festival takes place on Thursday at the Royal Cinema.

We're on the cusp of February, and that means that some unmentioned rep cinemas haven't uploaded their calendars for the new month yet. I can't help people see films if nobody knows what you're screening! But all hope is not lost, the Fox is screening some major films from 2011, the NFB is on cruise control and if you're looking for foreign, Cage-y, Soviet or Turkish flicks, the Lightbox has some interesting selections for everybody.

Comedy, satire, sci-fi, oh my! There are a wealth or worthy films screening this week whether it's one of the new programs at the Lightbox, some classic cinema at the Royal Cinema or one of the anticipated monthly programs at the Revue Cinema. As all eyes move from the winners of the Golden Globes to anticipate the possible outcome of the Oscars, rep cinemas are buzzing with favourites and underdogs in anticipation of a rise in attendance. Yes, that means that Midnight in Paris is still in theatres, but so is The Help and J. Edgar even has some legs. But me? I'm going to Solaris.

Somehow, I don't think it's a mere coincidence that Attack the Bloc: Cold War Science Fiction from Behind the Iron Curtain launches in the dead of winter. There's a sense of "anywhere but here" in this program, a great distraction for Torontonians, and a great incentive to leave the house to head to the TIFF Bell Lightbox. This strategically placed program is a charming mixture of quality artistic works by cherished directors such as Andrei Tarkovsky, bizarre and curious genre works like Who Wants to Kill Jessie? and an interesting selection of films that were born of the Soviet propaganda machine.
