The 2009 Toronto International Film Festival began last night, however it begins for me this afternoon as I begin my first volunteer shift.
From now until the 20th, it will be 100% TIFF coverage for me. This coverage will begin with my first volunteer log, which I will post this evening.

Next up on my top films of the decade is the film that was my favourite from last year. I was probably already destined to like this film do to me being a lifelong wrestling fan, however the film is also great in its tragic telling of a past-his-prime wrestler’s inability to cope with life…
The nominees were announced for the 2009 Golden Globe awards. As always, here are some random thoughts: Avatar really sticks out in the list of Best Picture – Drama nominees. If The Hangover wins Best Picture – Comedy or Musical it will be a happy day. In a perfect world, one of the two…
