Scawwy Movies!!!

103009-hocus

Some of y’all might be tearing the town up tonight, but I’ll be planted firmly on my couch with MINIMUM 3 scary movies - ones I’ve never seen before! Here’s what I’m thinking of renting: Drag Me To Hell, [REC] and… Hocus Pocus. Ok, I know that one’s not scary, but it’s essential Halloween viewing. Also, it made Kate cry when she was a Brownie. Anyway, what would you rent if you were in my shoes? I don’t do gore well (no Saws, no Hostels please - however, I will watch ANY zombie movie) - but what would you recommend?

Happy Halloween weekend - and remember, don’t lose cell phone reception!!

FourFour, you crazy genius, you’ve done it again!!!!!

NEW MOON TAKES A BITE OUT OF INDIE

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

newmoon

The tracklist for the New Moon soundtrack was revealed yesterday (finally!) and bares both: the good and the bad (nothing involving RPats and Tay Tay could ever be ugly).

So, in with the good: THE SOUNDTRACK IS GOING TO BE TWI-MAZING (too much?) and out with the bad: RPatz will NOT be serenading you into an obsess-icoma this time around – well, at least not musically. Not to worry though, while he may not be on the tracklist for the New Moon soundtrack, this dreamy fang boat will still be on the album cover. So all’s not completely lost, right?

Tracklist after the jump!

Matt Damon is The Informant

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Matt Damon stars as a bumbling double-agent in The Informant, which hits theatres today. Sarah Taylor recently staked out a spot on the TIFF red carpet for an interview with the actor.

Finally, Matt Damon showed up to discuss the acceptability of lying with Sarah. It’s something he does a lot in the film.

“It’s definitely OK to lie,” the actor said. “And we should lie, there’s some things you have to lie about.”

“Like what, what do you lie about?” Sarah asked.

“That dress looks great on you,” Matt replied. “I mean, it’s something that every husband, you say that to your wife, no, you should always mean it, I do always mean it, always.”

Of course, Sarah was telling the truth when she complemented Matt on his appearance. The actor packed on the pounds for The Informant, and then seemed to lose them just as quickly.

“A lot of running, boxing that kind of stuff , and then no more cheeseburgers,” he said.

For more from Matt Damon and all the other stars who turned up at the festival, be sure to check out MuchNewsWeekly’s TIFF special, Tuesday at 10pm ET.

Drew Barrymore on MOD

Monday, September 14th, 2009

091209-drew-barrymore-main

HBIC Drew Barrymore dropped in for a nice visit on Saturday to chat about her brand new movie (and directorial debut) Whip It. She brought along a team of roller derby bad asses and charmed her way to all of our hearts. She talked about the cast’s month of derby training (can you imagine? A month learning how to destroy on roller skates with Drew, Ellen Page, Zoe Bell, Kristin Wiig and Juliette Lewis?!?! OMG) and tackling her first project as a director - particularly her love of the soundtrack. Man, I bet this girl is just the realest. How can I get in on that derby training camp?!

Excuse Me Little Miss Zombie Killer Sunshine

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Ummm, what is this???

A new zombie movie I didn’t know about? With Abigail Breslin? And it’s comedy-ish? I dunno, brah. This may have double-bill-lazy-afternoon promise. I can’t tell yet. Could be fun, could be a trainwreck. Thoughts?

ZOMG TARANTINOZ

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

081109-basterds

REASONS WHY I AM EXCITED:

1. Quentin motherflipping Tarantino will be on MOD tomorrow (with Eli Roth, aka Donny Donowitz in the movie, aka director of Hostel). As far as I’m concerned, QT is BAWSE and I will be doing everything in my power to not physically launch myself at him with a stream of nonsensical blabber.
2. Inglourious Basterds opens in just over a week. I saw it, I love it, I will be seeing it again on opening night.

OTHER THINGS THAT ARE RANDOM BUT NOT REALLY CAUSE THEY’RE RELATED TO THE ABOVE:

1. The LA premiere of Basterds took place last night. Brangelina showed up and looked hot. Every time they show up in public together, babies are made around the world.
2. QT is a prankster on set, as seen with this slightly NSFW stunt he has been known to pull on location.
3. In preparation for tomorrow’s EXCITING MOD INTERVIEW, check out the Basterds website and download yo’self a spiffy wallpaper like I did!

A Not So Ugly Date With Deegan

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

072809-date-deegan

On Friday, July 24th, I got the opportunity to go on a date with Tim Deegan to go see “The Ugly Truth”. Not a conventional “man-date” kind of movie, but it was a decent romantic comedy for what it’s worth.

Despite the nerves I had going in to the entire experience, everyone at Much made me feel really at ease and internally calmed me down. Tim was really nice and cool, putting up with me for the time he did, he should get an award or something. The movie was a well-deserved three shirtless Deegans out of five. Sorry that they couldn’t pull off a five for all the girls out there who want to see a shirtless Tim. Maybe next time?

Alice in Tim Burton Land!

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

The teaser trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland is already blowing my mind.

Can we all just agree that Johnny Depp wins at everything? Why must we wait until March 2010! That is so late late late!

District 9 trailer! Intense!

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

If you live in Toronto or another big city, you might have seen some of the posters that say “FOR HUMANS ONLY” with instructions on reporting non-humans. I didn’t get it and was feeling confused until I saw the new trailer for District 9.

I get it now! The aliens are refugees! This looks so good! Most action movies are just action action action hey let’s blow this and that up etc, but District 9 seems to be bringing in a strong story line and idea. Great job! Can’t wait until August 14th! What do you think of the trailer? Have you seen these posters around?

Jennifer’s Body: Le Trailer

Monday, July 6th, 2009

There are two sides to the Megan Fox argument right now. No, three.

Argument 1: Oh my god, I hate her.
Argument 2: Oh my god, I want to do her.
Argument 3: You know, maybe she could be ok, with the right direction and once she shuts up a little.

I’m somewhere in the “not-paying-attention” category, but Diablo Cody has entered the situation and this means I must invest some attention. Say what you will about Diabs, but I think she’s got a fresh, funny mind (and her Tweets are top notch). The United States of Tara proves that she’s no one-trick Pony, either. Thus, I’m all over her upcoming horror movie - I’ll pass on the generic creepy thrillrides but any horror flick with sass, humour and smarts is AWESOME by me. Check out the trailer!
