It was 363 days ago that Torontoist trekked down from North York to the NFB Cinema at John and Richmond for a 9:00-on-a-Monday-morning press screening of Boy A, ahead of its world premiere at TIFF. It was worth the schlep. Surprised to learn from the credits that it was a TV movie produced for Britain's Channel 4, we said of the drama about a young adult being assigned a new identity upon his release......

Each week, Torontoist examines the upcoming TV listings and makes note of programs that are entertaining, informative, and of quality. Or, alternately, none of those. The result: Televisualist.......

Our Simpsons contest is over, and while fifteen of our readers came up with valiant attempts to invent new words, we can only give three of them the prizes that we've been graciously allocated by Cornerstone Promotion. We at Torontoist are pleased to be part of the unending promotional machine that is this film. So, winners! Our Grand Prize Winner (receiving a movie poster autographed by Hans Zimmer, a limited edition doughnut soundtrack, and a......

This week Torontoist decided to work out for itself exactly when The Simpsons was good. Because it’s just been so long, so depressingly long, since we’ve seen a episode that didn’t make us want to open a vein. Seriously.

Turns out we’re actually quite forgiving here compared to......

So apparently there's this film coming out tomorrow about some family called "The Sampsons" or "The Simpsons" or something. You probably haven't heard much about it, as the company producing the film (they're named after an animal, it's like WOLF or FOX) doesn't have very much money for promotion, certainly not enough to renovate entire convenience stores across the United States to look like convenience stores in the film or to renovate a downtown......

When a dozen U.S. 7-11s were converted into Kwik-e-Marts earlier this month, Torontoist wondered when we were going to get our share of The Simpsons' Movie hype. First, savvy ad execs painted a giant donut around the base of the CN Tower. Now, the Fox and Fiddle (106 John Street) is being turned into Moe's Tavern for a Thursday night post-screening party. Rumour has it that Flaming Moes will be served. Rumour also has......

Hey fan boys and girls! Are you still gushing over comic book legend Stan Lee’s cameo on last Monday's episode of Heroes (pictured left)? Well get ready to get giddy again. Lee will be appearing at an autograph session this afternoon at HMV (5:30 – 6:30 at 272 Queen St. W.). The 85-year-old Lee is in town to promote the launch of his new DVD, Stan Lee Presents Mosaic. As perhaps the world's most widely......
