Calling all book-loving cinephiles and film-loving bookworms!  Roncesvalles' historic Revue Cinema is running a new monthly screening series that is certain to get cinematic and literary discussions flowing. Toronto Star critic Geoff Pevere will guide the audience through film selections and post-screening discussions to explore what makes a film adaptation successful.

Please note that the events for this group are now organized as part of the "We Don't Do Mainstream" (WDDM) Film Group, so you will need to join there to receive the latest information and be able to sign up for featured events:  http://www.meetup.com/WDDM-Film/

The Book Revue takes place at the Revue Cinema (400 Roncesvalles Avenue, Toronto) on one Tuesday evening every month.

Tickets are available in advance at Another Story Book Shop, 315 Roncesvalles.  The novels are also available at a discount for Revue Cinema patrons!

    "I live and work in downtown toronto. I am an avid reader and film fan. I view 3-4 films a month. I prefer to rent films as I enjoy the "special features" on the DVD's featuring director/actor interviews and other interesting aspects on the film."
