On the 500th episode of Dax Shepard's  podcast, the  actress got candid about being a woman in the spotlight. «I kind of became objectified and pigeonholed in this way where I felt like I wasn't getting offers for work for things that I wanted to do,» Johansson explained. «I remember thinking to myself, 'I think people think I'm 40 years old.'

Watching Peter Farrelly’s new film, The Greatest Beer Run Ever, and knowing little about it going in, I kept thinking this would be a totally absurd, beyond belief story if it isn’t one that really happened. By the end I saw it is indeed 100% true, proving life can sometimes be stranger than fiction.  As such it turns out to be one of the more memorable, and certainly heartfelt movies this year, as well as a Vietnam War movie that couldn’t be further from The Deer Hunter, Platoon, and Apocalypse Now,  but a character-driven drama that defies logic but makes you believe once again in the power of the human spirit. This is the rare Vietnam film seen from the POV of a civilian, a key reason it works as well as it does.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Hanif Harji runs Figo, an Italian joint a block away from the heart of the Toronto International Film Festival.
