Behold: Olga Kurylenko at the premiere of <em>To the Wonder</em>, completely demolishing my ability to make witty commentary with her tasteful loveliness. Her dress makes her look like a mermaid and her skin is flawless: poor fodder for those of us sitting at home, covered in cheeto dust and looking for reasons to be mean. <em>(Erin Seaman)</em>
And here we see Rachel McAdams, wisdom in her eyes and wearing an incredibly flattering colour. What the hell, celebrities. Give me *some* fuel for my bitterness. <em>(Erin Seaman)</em>
Is that...is that Peaches? Her presence at the premiere of <em>To the Wonder</em> just made this romantic drama about reconnection approximately 1000X more interesting. Does her blessing mean there are secret filthy bits in this seemingly wholesome offering? <em>(Erin Seaman)</em>
Erin Cummings may be a sultry readhead now at the premiere of <em>The Iceman</em>, but in my heart she will always be the filth-covered plot device in <em>Spartacus: Blood and Sand.</em> <em>(Erin Seaman)</em>
Chris Evans pulls out his greatest weapon at The Iceman premiere: kind of like Cyclops, he shoots rays of deadly handsomeness from his teeth. Ms. Glasses' ovaries clearly exploded on contact. <em>(Erin Seaman)</em>
Chris Evans always looks like a rascally puppy caught in the middle of peeing on your shoes. Aw, gosh darn and shucks, he's just too damn cute to spank with the newspaper! <em>(Erin Seaman)</em>
Stephen Dorff raises his eyebrows in disapproval at <em>The Iceman</em> premiere, doubtless at Chris Evans, whose reckless use of his Handsome Ray is decimating uteruses (uteri?) left and right. <em>(Erin Seaman)</em>
Aw, bless Stephen Dorff and his indulgent little smirk. He knows this will make the owner of the pink phone the envy of her book club for months to come. <em>(Erin Seaman)</em>
Oh, for -- who let Seagal into <em>The Iceman</em> premiere? Damn it, you all had explicit instructions to tase with extreme prejudice! <em> (Erin Seaman)</em>
"Hello, ladies. I'm Steven Seagal. Bask in the glory of my gaze. Come, let me tell you of the time I totally taught Lyoto Machida that awesome front kick." <em>(Erin Seaman)</em>
Colin Firth at the premiere of <em>Arthur Newman</em>, as the horror that he is surrounded by ravenous Canadians slowly dawns on him. Remember, Colin: your fear smells like delicious maple syrup. <em>(Christopher Drost/Torontoist)</em>
Hello, I'm Colin Firth. While most men would be terrified snuggling up to the likes of Emily Blunt at a film premiere, I'm cool as a cucumber. My secret? Liquid Firth. Its irresistible aroma and calming effect give me the confidence I need to conquer any delicate social situation. <em>(Christopher Drost/Torontoist)</em>
Director Dante Ariola doesn't just expect the audience to enjoy the premiere of <em>Arthur Newman</em>...he expects you all to die. Unless, of course, the UN capitulates to the following demands...

TIFF is a magical time in Toronto, when you can be in line for a coffee and suddenly, you realize that’s Dustin Hoffman’s unmistakeable voice ordering a cappuccino next to you. While Toronto likes to pretend that we’re terribly sophisticated to the point of studied boredom for most of the year, during TIFF the city gives up this public pretence and becomes unrepentantly starstruck.
On Monday, TIFF welcomed home one of Toronto’s own: Rachel McAdams—a London, Ontario native and graduate of York University’s Theatre Program—was resplendent in green at the premiere of Terrence Malick’s moody romantic drama To the Wonder at the Princess of Wales Theatre. Much of the star-studded cast of The Iceman, the true story of contract killer Richard Kuklinski, turned up to frolic at the premiere, which was also held at the Princess of Wales. Attendees at that screening included a charming Chris Evans and an apparently shellshocked Winona Ryder. Meanwhile, the Elgin Theatre played host to the premiere of Dante Ariola’s new dramatic comedy, Arthur Newman. Co-stars Emily Blunt and Colin Firth were both on hand to celebrate the occasion.
