AP - Capsule reviews of films opening this week:

Reuters - Forget red carpets and polite Hollywood stars. Mayhem reigns at the Toronto film festival's "Midnight Madness" movies that kicked off, literally, with an early Friday morning screening of "JCVD" in which aging action hero Jean-Claude Van Damme pokes fun at his own career.

E! Online - Apparently there's nothing like a good killing spree to get Tom Cruise going.

E! Online - Quentin Tarantino is entering Tom Cruise territory.

E! Online - Call it the battle of the contractual web weavers. Tobey Maguire's very interested in doing the next Spider-Man sequel, sure, and now there's word today that the deal is done. Not true at all, blab several top sources on the project, who say the news about Spidey 4—and maybe 5—is jumping the gun.

Reuters - Indie film darling Darren Aronofsky stumbled with his most recent movie, "The Fountain," but he's back on track with "The Wrestler," which had its premiere at the Venice Film Festival and is seeking distribution.

Reuters - The raison d'etre for "Passchendaele" is a savage World War I battle by that name, a proud yet horrific moment in Canadian history that cost the still-young and underpopulated country so many of its finest young men.

Reuters - Everything is relative in the realm of hyperviolent movies, and compared to this summer's other assassination thriller, "Wanted," "Bangkok Dangerous" is a model of restraint and moral rectitude.

Reuters - Mickey Rourke and Anne Hathaway are among the favorites to win top actor and actress prizes at the Venice film festival awards ceremony on Saturday, while the race for the coveted Golden Lion for best picture is wide open.

Reuters - Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi, star and director of the "Spider-Man" films, aim to spin more webs for Sony's Columbia Pictures.

AP - NEW YORK (AP) — Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus and Charlize Theron were among the celebrities who appeared at the fifth annual Fashion Rocks concert celebrating the relationship between music and fashion.
