Nancy Kriparos catches up with a few more flicks in Toronto, including the awards sneaker “Dean Spanley.” [Awards Daily]

Peter Bart talks to Bill Maher about the comedians new documentary “Religulous.” [Peter Bart]

James Rocchi is on board for “The Wrestler,” calling it a reflection of “poisonous” American entertainment culture. [Cinematical]

Anne Thompson hands MTV’s credit over to /Film for yesterday’s Depp/Hoffman/Batman “news.”  Nothing confirmed yet on that, of course. [Thompson on Hollywood]
