Drew Barrymore on MOD

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

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!

Fame trailer is Fame-azing!

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

I already love this movie.

Take that High School Musical! Fame forever! This movie is a re-make of the 1980s movie which inspired a TV series, a reality show, and then stage musical. And now we are back to film again! Woohoo! Also! Kherington Payne from season 4 of So You Think You Can Dance is in this! She plays the dancer.

As I love me a good musical (I actually just watched the trailer five times in a row) I am quite excited about this. What about you guys? Are musicals your thang? Love ‘em or hate ‘em?

Fanboys Review

Monday, June 8th, 2009

060909-fanboys

When I first heard about Fanboys the inner fanboy in me jumped for joy. Unfortunately, the theatrical release of this movie was met with bunch of delays and ever-changing release dates and I kinda forgot about it. Luckily the DVD release was on time.

Fanboys is the story of four nerds and their quest to pilfer an unreleased copy of The Phantom Menace from Skywalker Ranch. Why couldn’t they wait for it to be released in theatres? Well that’s because one of our fanboys is dying of cancer and may not make it for the premiere. So the guys all pack themselves in a van and hilarity ensues right? Not really.

Get ready for some road trip movie clichés such as trying to get girls to flash, getting arrested, and prostitutes. The cameos, Star Wars associated and not, were nice but overall meh. There were a few gags that hardcore Star Wars fans will appreciate but none of it stacks up to all the other Star Wars spoofs out there. The film sure could have taken a cue from Family Guy’s Blue Harvest.

Fanboys definitely had a few chuckles but nothing to push it over the edge in the classic or brilliant category. Rent it if you must but overall this is a pass.

Transforminators

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

…I guess I’m not the only one who noticed eerie similarities between the new Transformers trailer and Terminator: Salvation.

Best Part: “…and worst of all: eating all of our sand.”
