#TIFF23: DAY NINE SIGHTINGS – SYLVESTER STALLONE AND ANDY LAU
...and that's a wrap for us! What a TIFF it's been! And while we were a bit worried about being impacted by a smaller number of talent coming through, somehow we still found ourselves putting in the same amount of time and enjoying the Films just as much as we usually do.
A notable theme among some of our favourites this year was a deep exploration of male-female dynamics as we see the world through a post-#MeToo lens. Some of our favourite films namely MEMORY, DADDIO, THE ROYAL HOTEL and ...

#TIFF23: DAY DAY FIVE SIGHTINGS – ETHAN HAWKE, LEE BYUNG-HUN, PARK BO-YOUNG, PARK SEO-JOON, BEN BARNES, GEMMA ARTERTON AND ALFRED ENOCH
We've reached that point of the Festival where things begin to wind down as some of the major trade publications begin to pack-up and head home. This however means more movies to see, and this perhaps is my favourite part of the Festival.
Day Five actually was quite intense. Earlier in the day we were lucky to spot right away the Cast of THE CRITIC en route to their midday Premiere. The whodunit stars Sir Ian McKellen, Gemma Arterton, Alfred Enoch and Ben Barnes, who was a last minute ...

#TIFF23: DAY FOUR SIGHTINGS – DAKOTA JOHNSON, SEAN PENN, COLMAN DOMINGO, ETHAN HAWKE, MAYA HAWKE, SIMON BAKER, BILLY BRYK, ELLIOT PAGE AND MORE
Day Four of TIFF '23 was epic! Though the excitement begins to reach a simmer in a day or two - when we actually will have time to start watching some more Films - we revel in the delight of all this starpower. I'll be honest, I started off having lowered expectations, but I have yet to feel there's been any lulls or dull moments yet this year. Still plenty enough to keep us busy.
Today started amazing, spotting Elliot Page and Hillary Baack out and about early with CLOSE TO YOU, a story ...

#TIFF23: DAY THREE SIGHTINGS – NICOLAS CAGE, VIGGO MORTENSEN, DEVERY JACOBS, HALEY BENNETT, NOAH CENTINEO, FINN WOLFHARD AND MORE
TIFF '23 Day Three was one for the books. Make no mistake, while there certainly are fewer stars in town than previous years, this doesn't mean we're putting-in less time and effort. With the Festival officially being in high gear, the sightings around the City were bountiful!
We started the day off with a Nicolas Cage sighting right away! He looked amazing in a turquoise corduroy outfit, so kind to stop for fans while promoting Toronto-shot DREAM SCENARIO.

It's Day Two and we're already exhausted at TIFF '23. Today was a very long intense day starting with the wonderful Hollywood Suite Annual Breakfast at OMNI King Edward Hotel where we learned about some of their SHOCKTOBER offerings coming next month.

#TIFF23: DAY ONE PHOTOS: PATRICIA ARQUETTE, WILLEM DAFOE AND CAMILA MORRONE FOR “GONZO GIRL”
It's official TIFFMAS! It was a bit of running about today but thrilled that TIFF '23 finally has kicked-off. While the Opening Night Gala took place at Roy Thomson Hall and Princess of Wales Theatre for Hayao Miyazaki's THE BOY AND THE BLUE HERON, it was just like every other TIFF we've loved with King Street lit abuzz with starpower in front of Royal Alexandra Theatre for the Premiere of GONZO GIRL, based on true accounts by Hunter S. Thompson's assistant. This marks Oscar winner Patricia ...

We adore Ben Schwartz! The Funnyman brought his Ben Schwartz and Friends to Toronto finally after the show was post-poned last September at Meridian Hall. The venue this time around was Massey Hall and he filled the house, bringing along Comedians Ben Tarver and Jessica McKenna.
