    Kevin Smith talks ‘Zack & Miri’ in Toronto

    by W. Andrew Powell October 3, 2008
    by W. Andrew Powell October 3, 2008

    When I first learned that Kevin Smith was going to bring Zack and Miri Make a Porno to the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival, I knew I had to get an interview. Out of everyone coming to this year’s TIFF, Smith was at the top of my list. Not just because he made Clerks, but also because he’s a genuine, talented guy with a knack for realistic dialogue, and uncommon, original characters.

    TIFF 08: Play that funky music

    by W. Andrew Powell September 11, 2008
    by W. Andrew Powell September 11, 2008

    If I go through some of my all-time favorite songs, most of them have one thing in common: they’re featured in a movie I also love.

    em>Shaun of the Dead reminded me how much I loved Queen with the song “Don’t Stop Me Now.” Damien Rice’s “The Blower’s Daughter” leaps off the screen in Closer. Counting Crows had the wickedly addictive opening song “Accidentally in Love” in Shrek 2.

    TIFF 08: Movie recap

    by W. Andrew Powell September 10, 2008
    by W. Andrew Powell September 10, 2008

    After six days of the Toronto International Film Festival I thought I should find a little time to recap the films I’ve seen. Since red carpets, interviews, and one press conference have also taken up my time though, I still feel like I have a lot of films to see, but here’s what I’ve seen so far.

    TIFF 08: Day 5 and the chocolate vanishes

    by W. Andrew Powell September 8, 2008
    by W. Andrew Powell September 8, 2008

    Call the press a bit pampered at TIFF, but I’m feeling severely deprived of my daily chocolate fix since the bowl full of Lindt truffles emptied today and hasn’t been refilled. It’s a terrible discovery as I sit down to work, but I suppose into every life a little rain must fall.
