Brad Pitt and Geroge Clooney Light Up 32nd Toronto International Film Festival

Brad Pitt breezed into the 32nd Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) last Friday, after winning the best actor prize at the Venice International Film Festival, but there are doubts if his cowboy classic, "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford," about the celebrity of the notorious 19th Century outlaw can score an encore here. George Clooney is the star of "Michael Clayton," a thrilling drama about a lawyer in crisis, premiering at the TIFF.

The festival runs from September 6 to 15, with 349 films from 55 countries, which include Serbia, Turkey, Burkina Faso, and Nigeria. There are 275 features and mid-length movies with the overwhelming 9 hours long black and white Filipino epic "Death in the Land of Encantos" on the aftermath of a typhoon, and the shortest, two minutes long cuts, "Tic Tac Toe" and "I've Never Had Sex," from a Canadian Program.

TIFF is one of the most important film festivals in the world and ranked with the Cannes, Sundance, Berlin, and Venice.

Hollywood stars love to display their stardom at these festivals, from the Cannes to Venice and now Toronto. They often take over the red carpet and attract so much attention to distract the press from the other notable stars from Bollywood and other notable film industries.

They should give others their 15 minutes!
