Sorry for the delay in posting this – it's funny how momentum screeches to a halt as soon as TIFF ends. Even the number of hits per day to this diary has dropped off dramatically since Frida…

At last! The festival is over!
I know, shocking that a comment like that would come from me, right?
As I've said repeatedly during TIFF 2007, I was just too pooped to enjoy it properly, I…

I have insomnia. Or, perhaps, not insomnia but some kind of freaky sleep situation where I can't fall asleep at night and I can't stay asleep in the morning. For the past few days, my body's …
It's not every day that you can say your first order of business is going to the movies with Charlize Theron, but that's exactly what we did at 3:00 PM today. Joining the 'Lize in support of their new…
