After what feels like a surprisingly long gap of film festivals in the city, they’re back, with The Prisoner Justice Film Festival now running and Ozflix starting tonight with screenings of Ten Canoes and 2:37; We pretty much hated 2:37, though (but we’ve heard good things about Ten Canoes). Full details can be found at their respective websites.

Torontonians were once again woefully unprepared for the first major snowfall of the season. 500 traffic accidents in one day, people. Do we really want everybody else making fun of us again, like that time Mel Lastman called in the Army to help out after a snowfall?

It's easy to see why people would be excited about Dreamgirls. The film, about the lifespan of a Supremes-esque three-member girl group (and based on the ultra-successful broadway musical of the same name) stars Beyoncé, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, and Danny Glover, and, as it tomorrow Christmas Day here, has the best shot at being the Christmas movie, the 9-digit box-office numbers one that movie studios die for but that hasn't really existed (outside of Lord of the Rings) since Ocean's Eleven back in 2001. Dreamgirls is a film that, by all accounts, should be fantastic, or -- at the very least -- interesting and fun to watch, the perfect film for the holidays. Too bad it's far from it.
