Recent developments around two very anticipated films have producers of Munich and KingKong rather nervous.

The Glitz, the glamour, and the gaffs

            On the surface, the Toronto International Film Festival is a brilliant way to showcase mainstream and independent artwork on a grand, glitzy platform.  However, the more and more media coverage you witness on this particular event, only proves that the festival is quickly becoming less and less about the films involved.

For decades now Sir Bob Geldof has been at the forefront of bringing global attention to Africa's AIDS, poverty, and starvation issues through the power of music.

        1985 saw Geldof launch LIVE Aid - a concert to raise money for the poverty stricken African continent, which took place in London, England and Philadelphia, USA.  The event brought out some of that generation's greatest musical outfits, and most importantly, the people.  20 years later, such an event had to happen again.  This time, it would be known as LIVE 8.

Steven Spielberg Starring: Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning and Tim Robbins

In a summer with record low audience attendance, Spielberg aims to get viewers back into their seats, or rather, on the edge of them. In terms of entertainment value; War of the Worlds is well worth the price of admission; from the start of the opening titles, to the introduction of the main characters the beginning of the film clearly sets the audience up for a suspenseful ride. Using rather uneasy interactions within the presence of awkward family relationships Spielberg seemingly creates tension out of thin air, while still allowing the audience a few quick nervous laughs.
