Like Old Man River, the Toronto film festival just keeps rolling along. Here's what we'll have today.

Coming up from Toronto

Reviews of cycling doc The Armstrong Lie, Aussie cop thriller Felony, Saoirse Ronan-starring dystopian thriller How I Live Now, Elmore Leonard adaptation Life of Crime, Mike Myer's documentary about music biz legend Shep Gordon, Supermensch, duelling-teacher drama Words and Pictures and Jimi Henrix biopic All Is By My Side.

Plus news from August: Osage County and Belle if we're really lucky.

Coming up from London

In the headlines today:

• The Mortal Instruments franchise has taken a big hit, so will be "delayed".

• Derek Jacobi reveals Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs was between him, Daniel Day Lewis and Anthony Hopkins

We'll have longer news stories on some or all of that lot. (Definitely some, probably not all.)
