The 50th Toronto International Film Festival doesn’t kick off until September, though we now have some very fun information about the fest. TIFF announced today what they’re kicking off their 50th with, and it’s the documentary John Candy: I Like Me. Directed by Colin Hanks, the tribute to Canadian icon John Candy will debut on […] More
This morning, TIFF announced and celebrated Canada’s Top Ten, which features the nation’s ten best feature films and shorts of 2024. Among the titles mentioned are Rumours and The Shrouds, though you can see the full list below. Of course, if you live in Canada, these will be showcased next month, so you’ll have a […] More
It seems like only days ago I was packing for the Telluride Film Festival, let alone the Toronto International Film Festival. Yet, here we are, post Telluride and TIFF, with the New York Film Festival on the horizon. Each year, this is the time when the Oscar race really begins to come into focus. Interestingly, […] More
Welcome back to the Awards Radar Podcast. In each episode, Editor Joey Magidson (that’s me!) will be joined by some of the staff of Awards Radar to talk about the latest in film, television, and entertainment in general. The show will obviously have an awards season slant to it, but we won’t forget about other […] More
It really does seem like I never get the same version of the Toronto International Film Festival twice. I know I said previously, but it’s true. My maiden voyage in 2021 was recapped here on the site, but it was a unique situation that will likely never be repeated. Two years ago was closer to the norm, […] More
The 2024 Toronto International Film Festival has come to a close, with their annual awards ceremony having just wrapped. The coveted People’s Choice Award was crowned as well, with the winner not being one that many expected. Taking the top prize, in a surprise, was Mike Flanagan’s The Life of Chuck. Runners up for the […] More
The phrase “Viggo Mortensen is right” is not something I have had the opportunity to say often – or, really, at all – in recent years, especially with his ongoing defensiveness over the indefensible “I worked for a famous person once and we totally became bestest friends” historical fan fiction Green Book and lack of […] More
How did I not know about this story? When you see what The Order is about, it’s going to be shocking that this isn’t a bit of history we’re well aware of. That it makes for such a compelling movie is only further evidence of that. Playing at the Toronto International Film Festival, this is […] More
When you watch a music documentary, or at least one about a musician, you’re looking for two things. One is to learn something new about the artist. The other is to hear some great tunes. Luckily, Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band has both. You’re going to get some actual breaking news […] More
At first glance, the premise of They Will Be Dust – a couple contemplating mutual assisted suicide following the wife’s incurable cancer diagnosis – sounds like a rather bleak prospect. But for director Carlos Marqués-Marcet, this sensitive topic provided an avenue for music and comedy amid the sorrow. Starring Angela Molina and Alfredo Castro as […] More
When a musician opts to make a movie, I keep an open mind. It might end up being a vanity project, sure, but it also could just be a new way for them to express themselves. While I’m not familiar with the music of Anderson .Paak, I now know that he has filmmaking chops, as […] More
