by Joanna Orland If you’re a film lover, attending a film festival may be the highlight of your year, but it can also break you to the point of no return. More films screen in the span of a few festival days than you’ve managed to see over the duration of an entire year – […]

The Toronto International Film Festival is all systems go.  What better film and talent to represent than Toronto’s own Mike Myers!? Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon, directed by Myers is a documentary about Alice Cooper’s legendary music manager Shep, who also managed the likes of Teddy Pendergrass, Anne Murray and Blondie, and was responsible […]

Laurence Anyways Directed by Xavier Dolan by Toastie in T-dot Canada has done well over the last decade at the Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Language Film category. Many fantastic films have been nominated including the emotional yet sweet Monsieur Lazhar (2011), the intense heat of Incendies (2010) and of course Denys Arcand’s sequel […]

by Dani Aronson Joanna and I went to Toronto, land of timbits, for the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF!). We had George Clooney spotting contests, got Bitch Slapped (and didn’t enjoy it) at midnight madness, ate our weight in loose candy, saw Tony Blair… I mean Michael Sheen’s latest awesome film, and I taunted Chris […]

Darren Aronofsky, Rachel Weisz & Ellen Burstyn in attendance for The Fountain (the worst film ever made)

The actor was riding the elevator and […]

Right to the front of the rush line, we got sweet seats to see the afternoon screening of John Cameron Mitchell (HEDWIG)’s new (sexually explicit) film ‘Shortbus’. I didn’t know what to expect outside of pornographic sexual activity, and when JCM sat in the seat […]

The latest, and quite possibly oddest, festival gossip this week is that somebody stole Will Ferrell’s bed. The actor was doing interviews in his hotel room and when he went back in to the main room, his bed was gone. Being the good comedian that he is, William just laughed off the incident, but i’m […]

BRAD PITT WAS HERE!!!! Yesterday. I’m so gutted I didn’t stalk him. Will Ferrell was rumoured to be hanging out at The Social – a typical art student hang out. Lance Bass was spotted for the third time, still with a crowd of gays flocking to him. Joan Collins is in town, not for the […]

EVERYTHING is fucking SOLD OUT!!! Bastards. I really want to see Shortbus (the new JOHN CAMERON MITCHELL [aka HEDWIG] film). AND even more enticing was the CONVERSATION between John Waters and JCM!!! I’m in fag hag heaven, but the gates ain’t openin’ for this hag. Anyways, the best thing ever happened on opening night. The […]
