Teen Lust is a new Canadian comedy which had its world premiere last September at the Toronto International Film Festival. The quirky film stars Annie Clark, Jesse Carere, Cary Elwes and Jon Dore.

Canadian actor and 2014 TIFF Rising Star is going places. Known best for his role as Zane Park in the hit television series Degrassi: The Next Generation, Kook has been making a name for himself on the big screen. He was recently seen in the horror, The Conjuring and this weekend you'll be able to see his "dark side" in the new thriller Dark Places.

Not only is Australian born Joel Edgerton a very talented actor (The Warrior, The Great Gatsby) he is also quite a skilled filmmaker. His latest offering is a thriller, THE GIFT in which he explores a very creepy tale of when your past comes back to haunt you. The film stars Jason Bateman, who is wonderful in a dramatic role, as well as British actress Rebecca Hall with Edgerton taking on a very aggressive old high school aquaintance to Bateman.

Jason Bateman known for his comedic roles plays against type in his new thriller, The Gift. Written and directed by Australian actor Joel Edgerton (who also stars), The Gift will have you looking over your shoulder long after you leave the theatre.

The Toronto International Film Festival® today announced that Jean-Marc Vallée’s Demolition will open the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Naomi Watts, Chris Cooper and Judah Lewis, Demolition will have its world premiere on September 10 at Roy Thomson Hall.

There's a new recruit on the Mission Impossible team ready to give Tom Cruise a run for his money. Rebecca Ferguson, a  31-year-old Swedish actress,   joins the fifth installment of the adrenaline-fueled Mission franchise as lethal agent Ilsa Faust. Known for her roles in The White Queen and The Red tent, Ferguson was completely stoked when she found out that she was going to go toe to toe with Cruise in the stunt filled movie.

It's been thirty years since Clark Griswold packed up his wife and kids Audrey and Rusty, jumped in the infamous truckster station wagon and hit the road for Walley World for the trip of their lives.  In the original Vacation (now a cult classic) Clark Griswold was of course played by Chevy Chase and his lovely wife Ellen, by Beverly D'Angelo.

One day in the near future Jake Gyllenhaal will have to make some room at his home for an Academy Award. After seeing his last few performances and knowing the discipline and devotion he's put into his roles, I am convinced that he is on his way to becoming an Oscar winner. Last year we saw him in Nightcrawler as a psychotic ambulance chasing cameraman and now he takes the punches in Southpaw as a prizefighting boxer who loses everything and rises from his deepest despair to live life to the fullest once again. 

Sandra Bullock is tired of always being  thought of as sweet and nice. As a matter of fact, she can be an outright bitch (her words, not mine) and she proves it with her latest role in, Minions. She voices the villain Scarlet Overkill in the film spun off from the Despicable Me franchise.  This is the also the first time Bullock has provided a voice for an animated movie, an experience she says that took a little getting used to. 

After seven seasons of playing the affable sweater wearing teacher Mr, Schue on the hit TV series Glee, Matthew Morrison knew it was time to get back to his roots. The veteran Broadway performer leaped at the chance to play J.M. Barrie  in the Tony nominated Musical, Finding Neverland based on the movie of the same name which starred Johnny Depp.  

Despite the massive success of the animated hits Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2, directors Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin did not immediately jump at making a movie about the Minions.  It took some convincing and the realization that the Minions  were stars in their own right for the directors to reunite to make a film about the genesis of those lovable gibberish-speaking yellow guys. The animated film follows the little yellow organisms as they set out to find a new super-villain to worship, eventually discovering Scarlet Overkill (voiced by Sandra Bullock).

Ready for some good old fashioned raunch? Then look no farther than Ted 2 now playing at a theatre near you. From the brilliant mind of creator, writer, director and actor Seth MacFarlane everyone's favourite foul-mouthed Teddy is back after scoring at the box office three years ago with the highest grossing R rated film in history.

Adam Scott is one of those laid back, humble actors who doesn't take anything for granted. He’s one of those guys that when you say his name you may not be entirely familiar, but as soon as you see his face you definitely know you’ve seen him in something. I became a huge fan of Adam Scott’s after being introduced to his hilarious cable TV series, Party Down about an offbeat catering company. That series also starred Jane Lynch and LIzzy Caplan and it was where Scott began to really hone his comedic chops. However, having been in the business for over twenty years people didn't really start noticing his talents until he hit the big time as one of the stars of the popular television series, Parks and Recreation opposite Amy Poehler.

James Ford Murphy may not be a household name, but he is someone you will be hearing a lot about. Inside Out is Pixar’s next highly anticipated release, but it’s also paired with a brand new Pixar short film that’s a must see, James Ford Murphy's directorial debut called, Lava.  The eye catching short feature focuses on a lonely volcano out in the middle of the sea who’s just looking for someone to love, or rather, lava.  And it’s no wonder Pixar Chief John Lasseter went with the idea when Murphy pitched him. The seven-minute piece, is extremely moving and the song is quite catchy, too.

We all know Phyllis Smith from her role as Phyllis Vance in the hit television series The Office. After starring on that show for nine successful seasons, the 63-year old actress honestly didn't know what her next move would be after the show ended. However, one fateful day she got a phone call from PIXAR animation studios saying they wanted to talk to her about a potential role in their next film and the rest as they say, is history.

When writer/director Rick Famuyiwa started to shop his comedy Dope, about a high school senior’s crazy mission to escape the confines of his Inglewood, California urban neighborhood for the Ivy league walls of Harvard the major studios, didn’t get it. So Famuyiwa and producers Forest Whitaker and Nina Yang Bongiovi, who were behind 2013 indie hit Fruitvale Station, made Dope their way, outside the studio system.
