The Toronto International Film Festival drew scorn in 2009 not only for choosing a British production for its opening-night gala, but also for choosing one of the year’s most uninspired films — Creation — of any origin. No need to worry about that in 2010: The fest has selected new opener Score: A Hockey Musical for its official return to form. And Olivia Newton-John’s invited to boot!

So, fellow Middlers and Tailies, Others and Dharmites, Mr. Clucksters and Apollo-Chompers, the end of Lost is nigh. On Sunday night, in a fourteen-and-a-half-hour finalestravaganza, conjoined executive producers Carmon Cuselhof will bury your favorite show alive like a couple of bickering, photogenic diamond thieves. (Have we alienated you with enough inside, borderline nonsensical references yet? Yes? Oh well, you never understood us anyway .) But how will the show finish up its six-season run? To prevent ourselves from spending this weekend curled up in the fetal position while nervously clutching a Hurley-sized bag of Dharma-branded Cheese-Flavor Air Puffs as we await the final round of Answers to our Questions, we’re instead letting our imagination run wild, taking us to the place we dared not visit before: the final scene of Lost . Beware: as this is almost certainly what our last glimpse of the island will look like, spoilers are sure to abound!

The 63rd Cannes Film Festival may be nearing its end, but IFC Films’ Croisette buying spree isn’t. The distributor today announced its acquisition of Gregg Araki’s hot-and-heavy “comical thriller” Kaboom as well as the Mexican cannibal flick We Are What We Are . Neither have release dates as of yet, though We Are will appear in theaters and on VOD under the distributor’s new IFC at Midnight platform.

Doug Liman’s Fair Game — about the CIA agent Valerie Plame and the byzantine goings-on surrounding her infamous outing — underscores the incredibly weak selection of competition films this year at Cannes.

If an award were to be given at Cannes for the audience’s favorite film, it just might go to director Stephen Kijak’s Stones in Exile, which premiered here at Director’s Fortnight. It didn’t hurt that Mick Jagger himself dropped in to revisit those hazy days of nearly 40 years past.

Pity poor Carlos the Jackal. More than a decade after a nearly 25-year reign of terror as arguably the world’s foremost terrorist and assassin, the incarcerated criminal is frustrated today by a sprawling, 321-minute biopic about him currently earning raves at Cannes. And he’s taking to the airwaves to let everybody know about it.

If you have ever fantasized about seeing Jay Leno do nude backflips, get excited because the Tonight Show host did just that — or his stunt double did — during a pre-taped sketch last night that featured a cat-crank ring and two special guest stars. Elsewhere on late night, Jonah Hill talked about his in-flight fight club and Jane Lynch talked about “whoring her cookies” for this week’s upfront events. Click through for those highlights, as well as a few others that you missed last night while mourning the seven CBS series tragically killed off yesterday.
