Maybe the star power wasn't as strong for the closing weekend of the Toronto International Film Festival as it had been for the first when Natalie Portman, Hilary Swank and Nicole Kidman were on hand, but these final, less fabulous few days are important for two things:

And only one of them involves vampires.

Toronto Notebook: Natalie Portman Flick "F--king Great" (or So Says the Director)

Of the 300-plus films the Toronto Film Fest, none has more love-it-or-love-it-more buzz than Black Swan. Natalie Portman stars as a troubled New York ballerina, and director Darren Aronofsky's last film here was The Wrestler—so hopes are high.

At the film's press conference yesterday, Aronofsky fueled the hype by offering one thing people should know about Black Swan before seeing it: "That it's f--king great."

Hear how Affleck, Jon Hamm and the film's other stars kept things light and right…

Toronto Notebook: Edward Norton Rolls North to Promote His Cornrow Con Role in Stone

Wearing a black leather jacket and somehow looking both relaxed and alert, Edward Norton is taking on press duties in Toronto for his much-buzzed new drama Stone. Norton's trying to explain that despite being here last year with the comedy Leaves of Grass and the year before opposite Colin Farrell in Pride and Glory, he doesn't necessarily try to have a film ready for the Toronto International Film Festival every year.

But his answer says a lot about why the stars love coming to Toronto…
