Favourite Film: The Trip. Brilliant and unexpected, the funniest film i've seen in years.

5/5 - Best of the Year Material:
The Trip
127 Hours
Biutiful
Black Swan

4/5 - Excellent and Highly Recommended:
The Illusionist
Krai (The Edge)
Incendies
Submarine
Rabbit Hole
Kaboom
The Debt
Rio Sex Comedy
Three

3/5 - Strong Points, but flawed. Not for everyone:
Super

Legend of the Fist
You Are Here
What's Wrong With Virginia
Rare Exports

2/5 - Disappointment:
Bunraku
Miral
Balada Triste (The Last Circus)
Silent Souls

Amigo

0/5 - Batman & Robin was a masterpiece compared to these:
Passion Play
The Strange Case of Angelica (This has the rare distinction of being the only film in my many years of TIFF where not a single person clapped at the end. not one. not even with Toronto's ultra-polite audience)
