The Vancouver International Film Festival kicks off in earnest tonight after a few days of panels Vancouver Film and Television Forums. The fest certainly doesn’t have the high profile of Toronto International Film Festival or Festival Du Cannes to be sure but its a growing fest in a beautiful city so who’s complaining.
Whether you are in Vancouver or following along at home, here is a menu of resources to peruse and enjoy (unless of course you are instead watching the Canucks hockey season kick-off tonight instead with the rest of Vancouver except for the people at the Whitecaps vs. Timbers soccer playoffs).
Westender’s Precious Spector
Vancouver’s WestEnder arts and culture magazine provides Movies: Top picks for this year’s Viff.
We tag ‘The Agony and The Ecstasy of Phil Spector‘ saying, “He is, of course, a convicted murderer and the proud owner of many ridiculous wigs.

As MyNetworkTV is pulling out of the original programming business, Ion Television is stepping up.
The network has picked up two Canadian drama series, "The Border" and "The Guard."
Both will make their U.S. debuts on Ion later this year.
"The Border," from Fireworks International, follows members of the Canadian Immigration and Customs Security Unit working with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to secure the border on both sides of the line.
The series, which airs on Canada's Cbc, drew interest from several U.S. broadcast networks, including ABC and CBS, during the writers strike.
"The Guard," from Lionsgate, revolves around the members of a Coast Guard Search and Rescue team.
Ion has acquired all U.S. television, digital media rights, Internet streaming and video-on-demand rights for both shows.
"'The Guard' and 'The Border' are two original dramas that will fit nicely with proven hits...
