Keep Track with Gerard
Hopefully you're all enjoying Gerard's Toronto coverage. So far all the buzz is on Peter O'Toole's performance in "Venus." The guy is heading for an Oscar. I think things might just be that firmed up.
Elsewhere, "Volver" and "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" have gotten positive notices from our writer. Not so much on Ridley Scott's "A Good Year."
And of course, we'll get a lot of reactions to "All the King's Men" tonight. I found some room to forgive it. David Poland constructed a curious pan that is more about what the film isn't than about what the film is. And Jeffrey Wells threw back a few glasses of champagne, marched into the screening and expected to stay awake. Not the most professional thing in the world to attempt to write up a review after viewing a film in that state, but hey, dislike is dislike, so chalk him up for a hater.
Stay tuned for more coverage of the fest here at In Contention.
