I don’t know how Hilary Swank got hooked up with Richard LaGravenese, but if she’s serious about having a lucrative career beyond those two Best Actress wins, she couldn’t have picked a better collaborator. The writer of The Bridges of Madison County, The Horse Whisperer, The Mirror Has Two Faces and Living Out Loud is … Continue reading
While I revere Clint Eastwood as a director, and hope he continues to make films until he is ready to break his staff, I haven’t unabashedly loved anything he’s done since 1993’s A Perfect World. True, there may be moments of stirring visual poetry in Letters from Iwo Jima, The Bridges of Madison County and … Continue reading
You can’t stop Ellen Page. She’s already a Toronto Fest vet, having appeared in films selected for the ’02, ’04 and ’05 festivals. In addition to this experimental teen runaway drama remix, Page appeared at Toronto this year in Juno (reviewed right here) and The Stone Angel. I hear she also spent a couple days … Continue reading

The first to get some public non-announcement (WB: We’ll announce the whole cast when it’s bloody ready, you Watchmen deflaters!) is the top-running actress to fill Wonder Woman’s wristbands, boots and corset: Jessica Biel, currently ‘in talks’ to … Continue reading
By and large I don’t like linking to images on IGN, not because the people over there aren’t cool (they definitely are) but because the company splashes that ugly logo on everything. Branding an image makes sense when you’re Getty Images, but not when you’re a website running someone else’s material for purposes of promotion. … Continue reading
Eight AM on a Sunday morning is not the ideal time to do a phone interview. But I’d been pestering Focus Features for a chance to talk to David Cronenberg since well before the Toronto Fest started, and when they kindly hooked me up with a one on one towards the end of my time … Continue reading
Jason Segel is late for lunch, but that’s his problem. I’m on a mission. I’ve got to find out where Judd Apatow’s Lakers seats are. And Segel – the writer and star of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the set I’m ostensibly "visiting" – can either cough up the info, or eat a cold veggie burger. "They … Continue reading
