for a full plate? Of course at TIFF it just wouldn’t be a normal day without at least six or seven big premieres, would it?A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood,
with Hanks as the iconic childrens TV host Fred Rogers was a big hit for Sony’s TriStar at its Roy Thomson Hall debut early Saturday evening. You might expect Hanks would fit this role like a glove and he didn’t disappoint. He eased into those slippers like he had been playing this character forever, and just as seemingly effortlessly as he inhabited Walt Disney inHanks is almost chameleon -like in his ability to inhabit these icons and not miss a beat.

At the exact same time at the Princess Of Wales theatre, a gem of a murder mystery was being solved in writer/director Rian Johnson’s hilarious and dead-on hommage to Agatha Christie-style thrillers, to be released by Lionsgate for the holidays , and a better present I couldn’t imagine for moviegoers or fans of this sort of thing.
After all this activity on what is always the busiest day of TIFF, almost all these stars headed over to the Four Seasons for the very crowded and very lively annual bash thrown by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association that went well into the wee hours of the morning.
