Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic One of the greatest mysteries that ever faced investigative reporter Irwin Maurice Fletcher (“Fletch” to his friends) is why there haven’t been more movies featuring the character. Gregory Mcdonald’s popular Fletch novels, of which there are 11, were practically all dialogue. The author’s breezy style of repartee — which owed more to Hollywood’s screwball comedy tradition than film noir — should have lent itself well to screenplays, but only two ever got made: Back in the ’80s, we got a couple that positioned Chevy Chase as a goofy sleuth with a penchant for disguise, and others (including Jason Lee, Ben Affleck and Chris Tucker) have been trying to revive him ever since.

Jessica Kiang There are no flirtations with the fourth wall in Frances O’Connor’s “Emily.” There is no synthpop on the soundtrack. No one ranks the relative attractiveness of the Brontë sisters on a scale out of 10, or attempts, bustle be damned, to twerk. Yet despite lacking all markers of the recent trend for girlbossified costume drama, the directorial debut from O’Connor — an actor who is no stranger to corsetry herself after “Mansfield Park” and “The Importance of Being Earnest” — gives us a strikingly current take on the Brontë behind “Wuthering Heights.” Unlike many a literary biopic, it feels anything but pagebound. If “Emily” were a book, however, it would be a fresh reissue of a Penguin Classic, with its timeless orange cover unobtrusively updated to be crisp and covetable all over again. 

Toronto Film Festival returned in spectacular fashion after two years of virtual premieres or limited capacity screenings. The parties were packed (which may lead to COVID outbreaks down the road, but… that’s showbiz?), the red carpets were glittering and the atmosphere was electric, bordering on euphoric, as director Rian Johnson’s acclaimed sequel “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Story,” Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical “The Fabelmans” and the Harry Styles-led romantic drama “My Policeman” debuted to blockbuster-starved audiences in Canada. Hollywood seemed eager to make up for lost time. So, as the curtain comes down on TIFF, here’s a look back at the major trends and takeaways from the 10-day festival.

Michael Nordine author Few remakes feel necessary, but English-language versions of international horror films have an especially difficult time justifying their existence. We certainly didn’t need George Sluizer or Michael Haneke to remake their own “The Vanishing” and “Funny Games” for the benefit of subtitle-averse audiences, nor was anyone asking for a “Let the Right One In” remake when it was first released. “Need” and “want” are two different things, of course, and it’s hardly unheard of for one of these remakes to be quite good — just ask Naomi Watts, who followed her star-making turn in “Mulholland Drive” with “The Ring.” The two-time Oscar nominee now finds herself as the face of Matt Sobel’s remake of Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala’s “Goodnight Mommy.” Well, maybe not the face exactly — as in the original, her head is obscured by surgical bandages for reasons that aren’t immediately made clear.

Who knows what happens in Stephen King’s mind, the author of such horror classics as “IT” and “The Shining.” It’s a mystery as to how King can conjure up such horrific tales, whether that be a lengthy novel or a short story. King’s latest big-screen adaptation comes from John Lee Hancock’s “Mr.

Sharon Osbourne still believes she has nothing to apologise for after being caught up in a racism row last year, and has the full support of her husband Ozzy Osbourne. The former X Factor judge quit her job on US chat show The Talk in March 2021 after an uncomfortable discussion with her co-host Sheryl Underwood live on-air. During the episode, Sharon, 69, defended her friend Piers Morgan after he was forced to deny that his relentless criticism of Meghan Markle was racially-charged. Discussing the controversy on The Talk, Sharon asked Sheryl to ‘educate’ her on how Piers’ remarks about the Duchess of Sussex could be viewed as racist. Many viewers felt Sharon’s line of questioning Sheryl on live TV was inappropriate and, after the show was briefly taken off air, she quit the series. Her husband Ozzy, 73, did not publicly address the furore surrounding his wife at the time as he battled health issues. However, he’s made it clear he has her back, stating to People magazine in a new interview: ‘We all got behind Sharon because we know she’s not racist.’ Sharon defiantly added: ‘I’m not sorry for a damn thing.’ Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy recently spoke about the race row and compared being called a racist to being branded a paedophile. ‘When you’re accused of that, by saying, “I’m not racist”, it’s like being accused of [being] a paedophile,’ the musician said on Good Morning America recently. ‘It’s one of those things now that you — by saying you’re not, they think you are more. It’s like — it’s a stigma.’ Sharon added: ‘Like I said on the show, “You’ve now planted that seed.
