Now if there’s something you know about our Film Friday columns, it’s usually the place where we spout our opinions on films based on either the trailer or the reviews that we’ve read. But this week we have a dilemma! On which do we base our opinion of Pineapple Express?

What, it's over? Filmmakers, fans, industry people and most of all bloggers are in shock that this year's TIFF is coming to an end.

Couple of big, big press releases from the hard working TIFF press office today, with a slate of film announcements in their Gala and Special Presentation programmes.

Yesterday, while listening to NPR for the obvious reasons, we heard a terrific interview with Ralph Fiennes. Terrific because at the very end of the interview, Leonard Lopate throws a curve at the pointy actor by asking him why he pronounces his name Rayfe. A short pause follows, and then Fiennes cobbles together an answer along the lines of 'that is actually how it was pronounced historically.' Now if we could only ask Chloë Sevigny from whence that umlaut came! Alas, we can't, because she's not starring in The Constant Gardener, the only movie opening this weekend that doesn't look abysmal, which by default makes it look all the more appetizing. A thriller set in Africa, starrring Rachel Weisz and no Brendan Fraser. There are worse things you could do with a Friday evening and a bag of popcorn.
