OMG, it's like one of those freaky Mayan calendar things or something.

But, yes, it's true: Thursday Sept. 2, 2010, is being celebrated as "90210 Day." It's the one day this century that the date will line up perfectly with the famous California zip code.

For fans of the 1990s teen drama "Beverly Hills, 90210," this is an occasion for celebration in nostalgia for a show widely regarded as cheesy, but nevertheless beloved.

Darren Aronofsky sees his newest film Black Swan as the companion piece to The Wrestler.

Black Swan made its world premiere as the opening film at the Venice Film Festival's 67th edition on Wednesday, bringing the American director back on the Lido, where The Wrestler won the top Golden Lion prize two years ago.

"The more I looked into the world of ballet, I actually started to see all these similarities to the world of wrestling," the 41-year-old Aronofsky said at a news conference. "They both have these performers that use their bodies in sort of extremely, intense physical ways. Their entire performance is based on intense physicality."

The psychological melodrama is set in the world of New York City ballet and stars Natalie Portman as a perfection-seeking ballerina keen to win the role of prima-ballerina now that the long-reigning star is retiring. She is smothered by her overprotective mother, played by Barbara Hershey, a former dancer who, in one of many dichotomies in the film, may be acting out of concern for her daughter's well-being or jealousy over her success.

Aussie Oscar winner Russell Crowe reunites with visionary Gladiator director Ridley Scott to reveal the untold story of outlawed English hero Robin Hood. This heart-pumping action adventure, written by Brian Helgeland (Mystic River, L.A. Confidential, A Knight's Tale) and co-starring the lovely Cate Blanchett, transports viewers to the medieval battlefields of 13th century England and serves as a prequel to the popular tale chronicling the archer’s rise to legendary hero.

Cineplex.com got a chance to sit down with actors Kevin Durand and Alan Doyle, who play a few of Robin Hood's right-hand Merry Men, to talk about the film prior to its DVD release.

Despite what the thermometer may currently be telling us, the sweltering heat won’t last forever and when the mercury starts to dip, that means not only a serious wardrobe overhaul but a stellar lineup of new movies is on the way. And what makes the end of summer a little more palatable than a slew of amazing films? Grab your favourite scarf and take a look at our lineup of must-see Fall films.

From comedies (Easy A, Megamind, Due Date, Fubar II) to thrillers (Let Me In), dramas (The Town, The Social Network) and the one and only Harry Potter, audiences will be treated to an eclectic mix of cinematic feats in the coming few months and our handy guide makes sure you won’t miss a thing.

We still have to wait until October 1 to find out just what David Fincher (Fight Club, Zodiac) and screenwriter extraordinaire Aaron Sorkin ("The West Wing," A Few Good Men) did with the film adaptation of Ben Mezrich's book "The Accidental Billionaires", aka the story of Facebook, but the intriguing trailer (complete with children's chorus singing Radiohead's famous lullabye-esque show-stopper "Creep") and just-released images pretty much guarantee we're in for an unadulterated examination of how one of the internet's biggest social sites redefined the term friend for a whole new generation.

The Social Network stars Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Max Minghella and Rashida Jones.

The 65-year-old Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps star said in an interview with People magazine this week that he expects to make a full recovery after a walnut-sized tumour was found on the base of his tongue in early August.

Douglas is currently undergoing an eight-week course of radiation and chemotherapy in New York. His doctors said there is no evidence that the cancer has spread.

"I'm treating this as a curable disease," he said. "It's a fight. I'll beat this."

Douglas' wife, Oscar-winning actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, said the most difficult part of the whole ordeal has been seeing her husband fatigued "because Michael is never tired."

We won't bore you with a bone-dry history of how Toronto's festival grew from a local celebration of movies into one of the world's premiere film festivals. Instead, we present 35 random facts — one for each year the Festival has taken place — highlighting TIFF's emergence as a festival heavyweight. From protests to growing crowds to career launches to Oscar-winning, buzzworthy films, the past 35 years have certainly been anything but dry.

Why did the guy who directed vicious comic book adaptation Watchmen, epic action battle flick 300, surreal zombie horror pic Dawn of the Dead and the forthcoming, hyperreal shoot’em-up fantasy Sucker Punch take on a film adaptation of a young adult book series about owls?

Simple - he wanted to make an adventure film. And he did - Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole.

Takers debuted with $20.5 million to grab to grab a narrow win over The Last Exorcism, which opened in second-place with $20.4 million, according to final studio numbers Monday.

Based on studio estimates a day earlier, The Last Exorcism had a thin lead over Takers. But the movies switched places once final weekend numbers were released.

After two weekends in the No. 1 spot, Lionsgate's action romp The Expendables slipped to third place with $9.5 million, raising its total to $82 million.

Both Exorcism and Takers debuted well above studio expectations, though the openings were modest compared with most big summer debuts.

Emmy had a split personality this year. Television's annual awards show honoured hot new broadcast comedies "Modern Family" and "Glee," while sticking with more familiar favorites from cable in drama.

"Modern Family" won the Emmy for best comedy in its rookie season. The sweetly uproarious sitcom knit together a gay couple and their adopted daughter, a more traditional bumbling dad and his uptight wife, and a world-weary patriarch with his hot young Latin wife - and became an instant favorite on ABC.

"We are so grateful, we are so thrilled that families are sitting down together to watch a television show," said Steven Levitan, the show's co-creator. "We just want you to know, we just wanted to say we are so happy that you have let us into your families."

Forget everything you think you know about a Drew Barrymore romantic comedy.

Yes, she’s still bubbly, irrepressibly smiley and prone to pulling cute faces but in Going the Distance, slo-mo montages, heavy-handed fantasy and non-stop slapstick have been replaced with sex, drugs and rock and roll as Erin (Barrymore) and Garrett (Justin Long, Barrymore’s on-again/off-again/on-again beau) try to turn a one-night stand into something resembling a relationship with a directness and tendency towards the profane that few would expect from one of Charlie’s Angels.

But with an R-rating in her back pocket, award-winning documentary filmmaker Nanette Burstein (American Teen, The Kid Stays in the Picture) takes the director’s chair for the first time on a feature film and infuses the relatable, off-kilter rom-com with the kind of improvised, naturalistic, adult situations that raunchy funnyman Judd Apatow thrust into the mainstream.

This week in the celebrity spotlight: on-again-off-again twosome Drew Barrymore and Justin Long rack up the frequent flier miles at two premieres for their latest movie together, Going the Distance, while Christina Applegate flaunts her baby bump. Then the giant cast of Scott Pilgrim kick it at the movie's premiere in London. In other celeb news, former American Idol champ Fantasia returns for real while music icon George Michael admits guilt in his latest brush with the law.

While we're not pulling together or sharing our picks for TIFF's must-see films until next week, I decided to jump the gun a little and let you in on the one Midnight Madness film I'm super stoked to see. If you happened to catch the two intentional clues I dropped in that sentence (because I'm stealthy like that) then you'll be unsurprised to hear my pick is James Gunn's not-your-dad's-superhero-film SUPER.

Why did I pick today to share all this with you, loyal readers? Because the director himself just released the first two images from the movie and what better way to share, am I right? Check out the sneak peeks below then head here to tell us your Midnight Madness must-see film. Share and you could win 2 sets of passes to all 10 MM screenings!

A preliminary hearing ended Thursday with 40-year-old Aretha Wilson, a former model from Ontario, being ordered to face one count of assault with a deadly weapon. DiCaprio was not in attendance.

Wilson allegedly cursed at the Inception star and threw a drinking glass in his face as he was about to leave a 2005 Hollywood Hills party, resulting in a deep cut on his ear and neck that required multiple stitches.

The Last Exorcism follows the increasingly disturbing behavior of a teenage girl living on a remote Louisiana farm who may - or may not - be possessed by some sort of demon. Strange things have been happening, prompting her deeply religious father to call upon a famous preacher to rid her body of what he assumes must be an evil spirit.

It's some of the most startling stuff you'll see in scary movies. But there are various kinds of possession, lots of examples in film of people's bodies being taken over, often in the name of laughs instead of thrills. Here are five movies about possession - demonic and otherwise - that'll take hold of you:

Emma Stone's latest starring role comes in Sony Picture's fall release, Easy A. Stone takes on the role of Olive Penderghast, a clean cut high school girl who sees her life turned upside down when a lie about her lack of virginity makes its way around her high school like wildfire. Drawing parallels to the not-unfamiliar tale of Hawthorne's Hester Prynne in "The Scarlet Letter," Olive decides to take matters into her own hands and use the rumor mill to advance her social and financial standing.

The movie doesn't hit theatres until September 17 but to tide you over until then, we've got two clips from the film!

Watch them below and see if you don't fall just a little bit in love with Emma (and Olive) yourself!

From the hockey rink to a TV screen near you, Toronto native Noah Reid, who stars in TIFF 2010's opening film Score: A Hockey Musical, has nabbed the lead role in SyFy's upcoming 90-minute pilot "Three Inches," an action-adventure show with a side of superhero.

Reid stars as Walter Spackman, a daydreamer who gets struck by lightning and discovers he has a supernatural power that isn't all that super after all. He can move objects with his mind (yay!) but only by three inches (boo!). The series is also set to star James Marsters ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), Naoko Mori ("Torchwood") and Stephanie Jacobsen ("Melrose Place").

In case you haven't guessed, those three talented actors, along with tons of other TV stars, will descend upon the L.A. theatre for the 62nd annual Primetime Emmys where hardware will be delivered to the winners, of which White is already one for her hosting gig on "Saturday Night Live".

With the big night mere days away - taking place August 29 - round-the-clock preparations are already being made so the show goes off without a hitch. Here's a look at what's happening in Hollywood leading up to television's biggest night.

Coppola will receive the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, the academy said Wednesday, with Godard, Wallach and Brownlow all receiving honorary Oscars. The prizes will be given at a dinner Nov. 13.

Coppola, a director, producer and writer of such classics as The Godfather trilogy, Apocalypse Now, The Conversation and The Outsiders, is already a five-time Oscar winner. Godard is a key figure in the French New Wave with films including Breathless.

Wallach (94) is a longtime character actor whose films include The Magnificent Seven, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and this fall's Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. And Brownlow is considered by the industry to be the pre-eminent historian of silent-era films.

Spacey is set to star as the villainous (or misunderstood, depending on your viewpoint of historical events) Plantagenet English king in a Mendes-directed production Shakespeare's famous history play.

This venture will mark the first time the two men have worked together since their 1999 Academy Award-winning film American Beauty, which won five golden statuettes including a best actor nod for Spacey and best director win for Mendes.

Will the Shakespearean king be as kind to them come theatre award season? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1) may not hit theatres until November 19 but that doesn't mean Warner Bros. is leaving fans high and dry! First we got an exciting look at the very first trailer in July, now we're getting a great big glimpse inside the first part of the Potter finale with brand new pics AND behind-the-scenes video. It's clear things are slowly ramping up toward a big (possibly record-breaking) opening for the highly anticipated seventh film in the hit series. The best part? The big promos for the showdown between The Boy Who Lived (Daniel Radcliffe) and He Who Must Not Be Named (Ralph Fiennes) are really just beginning! You just never know what's coming down the pipe next.
