The lineup for the 33rd Toronto International Film Festival is out. From September 4 - 13, 2008, the enormous fest will be screening 249 feature films from 64 countries. Among the highlights are the new Coen Brothers film Burn This, with a star studded cast including George Clooney, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton and Brad Pitt, and the still-in-progress New York, I Love You,  a group project with segments directed by Fatih Akin, Yvan Attal, Scarlett Johannson, Shekhar Kapur, Joshua Martson, Mira Nair, and Natalie Portman. indieWIRE has the complete lineup and Girish Shambu plans his schedule.

With Vicky Christina Barcelona, at least Woody Allen got the casting right. They are all so very pretty: Scarlett Johansson with her golden locks and ample cleavage; Penelope Cruz, who is so gorgeous she makes Scarlett appear plain when they share the screen; hunky Javier Barmen who has lost the serial killer haircut that landed him an Academy Award; and even relative newcomer Rebecca Hall, who is willowy and lovely.

Lucky enough to have such enormous talents still eager to work with him, Allen simply plops them into a gorgeous city, scripts a scene where Scarlett and Penelope make out in the dark, and hopes that the eye candy will carry the film. But it's not enough, and Vicky Christina Barcelona, which opens today, is not a good movie. Read Marcy's review.
