Movie Reviews and Previews Laggies: TIFF review Keira Knightley, one of the most interesting stars of the year. She charmed up a storm in Begin Again, and will soon chase her second Oscar nomination for the over-hyped The Imitation Game, but makes her biggest star turn as an American twentysomething in crisis in Laggies. Knightley's By Joanna • Sep 15, 2014 01:01 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jennifer Aniston in Cake: TIFF review Over-medicated, "bitchy," and sans-makeup: it's Jennifer Aniston like you've never seen her before.

Here it is: “The story of a young man disillusioned By Sarah • Sep 15, 2014 11:19 am

Movie Reviews and Previews The Imitation Game: TIFF Review In the eyes of his "Cumberbitches" online, Benedict Cumberbatch is a hero. In The Imitation Game, he cracks the code of his hype and fandom, and finally gets to play one. How? It's elementary. As WWII codebreaker Alan Turing, Cumberbatch is a mathematical genius who also By Joanna • Sep 12, 2014 10:20 am
TIFF 2014 Coverage Keira in the wind The weather was stupid again in Toronto last night. It was pouring, it was windy. Kind of a bitch to be dealing with when you have to walk a red carpet. But first…the pre-party. I interviewed Keira Knightly at the Moet + Chandon cocktail for Laggies at Michael’s on By Lainey • Sep 11, 2014 05:24 pm
TIFF 2014 Coverage Chris Evans: Successful salesman Last weekend Beardy Chris Evans popped up at TIFF to promote his directorial debut, Before SunriseBefore We Go.

Maple Leaf Xavier Dolan in Elephant Song: TIFF Review Xavier Dolan's duelling enfant terrible and wunderkind personas have become his trademark, often overshadowing his immense talent. Remember, this 25-year-old won the Cannes Jury Prize for his fifth film, Mommy, in May, but barely eight months earlier, he bit back at an unflattering review in The Hollywood Reporter, By Joanna • Sep 11, 2014 03:07 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews The Last Five Years: TIFF Review In the last five years, Anna Kendrick "type[d] with purpose" to an Oscar nomination for Up in the Air, carried the a cappella Bellas to a national championship and shook off her role in the Twilight franchise to become a bona-fide star in her own right.

Gorgessity Keira’s TIFF style And we’re not even done yet. You remember the Chanel dress from the other day – click here for a refresher. And another, and another, and another. Keira Knightley always delivers the style porn. White cocktail length, long white with black spots... And today? Look at this. LOOK AT THIS By Lainey • Sep 10, 2014 05:52 pm
Marcus and Friends (dogs) Tom Hardy at TIFF Not going to lie… Tom Hardy might have peaked at TIFF too early. It was Friday night and Saturday morning. And he was followed by Cara Delevingne and The Riot Club boys and Eddie Redmayne and Andrew Garfield and my two fried laptops and Mike Tyson just lost his sh-t By Lainey • Sep 10, 2014 05:12 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Hair back Robert Pattison looked good last night. I think the hair has a lot to do with it. This hair reminds me of the early days of Twilight.
