Just two months to go before School starts. Monsters University that, is! We all loved 2001’s Monster’s Inc. and this Prequel in the Franchise has long been overdue and at long last a Trailer has surfaced for the Animated Feature featuring the Voicework of John Goodman, Billy Crystal and Steve Buscemi.

Official Synopsis below:

Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski (voice of Billy Crystal) was a little Monster, he has dreamed of becoming a Scarer—and he knows better than anyone that the best Scarers come from Monsters University (MU). But during his first semester at MU, Mike’s plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan or “Sulley” (voice of John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer.  The pair’s out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University’s elite Scare Program. To make matters worse, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right.

No, she would not like a fork with that!  This first Still from Divergent is just intense.  See burgeoning Star Shailene Woodley basically narrowly escape death.

Its Story centers on Tris Prior (Woodley) who is listed to be offed when it is determined that she is “divergent”, living in a World where people are divided into groups by their personalities.  She must learn why it is those who are “divergent” pose a threat before she is executed.

Mesmerized.  Those of you who follow my Blog know what a huge Fan of Lana Del Rey I am and although I’ve been living off Snippets of her Young & Beautiful for the past couple weeks, I finally got to hear more of it today when screening The Great Gatsby 3-D.  In the Film there also is a gorgeous Orchestral Version of the Song and of all the Tracks heard in the Film, this is definitely the most pronounced and fitting of where Baz Luhrmann is going.

Although it takes a few listens, I challenge you not to fall in love with it after seeing The Great Gatsby 3-D.

Say what you will about Del Rey’s Vocals, but the really, really odd thing is that if any other sang this, I wouldn’t be as emphatic about it. There is something inherently lonely and cinematic about Lana Del Rey‘s Performance.

At long last we have a new Trailer for Sofia Coppola‘s The Bling Ring. And OMG, is that Emma Watson being deliciously evil? This version of the Trailer gives us a bit more insight into the Psyches of these infamous Teens who broke into homes of several Celebrities a few years back. Based on actual events, indeed.

I live for Sofia Coppola Movies and I hunger for this.  And those attending the Cannes Film Festival are luckiest to see it first this May, where it premieres!

Fascinating stuff. You must check-out this exciting Featurette where The Great Gatsby Costume Designer Catherine Martin talks about Author F. Scott Fitzgerald‘s close relationship with Clothier Brooks Brothers. Ultimately we learn how she partnered with them for that authentic ’20s inspiration on all of the looks we see on the Men – including Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Joel Edgerton – in this Spring’s most eagerly-awaited Romantic-Drama!

Finally getting a release, The Good Lie is a Canadian-produced Thriller from Director/Writer Shawn Linden – not to be confused with the Film starring Corey Stoll and Reese Witherspoon, due later this year. The Film centers around Cullen (Thomas Dekker), whom after his Mother passes on, discovers that his Biological Father is just released from Prison. Upon locating him, he realizes the truth behind his conception is far more bizarre than anticipated.

Tonight, handsome 25-year-old Dekker (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, My Sister’s Keeper) gave the Audience at Varsity Cinemas a special treat, dropping by to introduce the Film and partake in a Q&A.  Staying for most of the Film, the Actor head-out for the occasional Cigarette Break, kindly stopping for Photos with Fans who didn’t have passes for the Screening.  Looking sharp in a gray suit and teal shirt, his hair perfectly-imperfect, he asked, “You guys aren’t coming to watch the Movie?”, to which he learned that passes weren’t available to the Public.  Nonetheless, he was amazingly gracious as we would come to expect from someone Canadian-raised!

Dekker next can be seen in the Drama Squatters alongside Richard Dreyfuss, Luke Grimes and Gabriella Wilde, the latter who filmed the upcoming Carrie Remake here in Toronto last Summer.

He continues his Press Tour tomorrow and appears at Global Television‘s The Morning Show (National Edition) at 9:00 AM EST.

Filmoption International releases The Good Lie  in Toronto on May 3, 2013.

20 years, 130 million records, 5 members once again.  Backstreet‘s back indeed and the Quintet in its original lineup received their much-deserved Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame earlier today in-time for their 20th Anniversary.  With their sights set on  a Comeback Disc due later this year, Backstreet Boys – often known just as BSB – reunited in the Studio recently with Swedish Hitmaker Max Martin to begin recording their eighth Album.  A couple days ago, they previewed Material for Fans at a Celebration in Hollywood and you can hear some clips below.

Although it remains to be seen whether or not Backstreet really is back for a new generation of Pop Lovers, the Boys embark on their World Tour in May 2013 beginning in China.  A Documentary also is due in 2014.

Toronto definitely loves their Kat Von D! The Tattoo Artist-turned-Celebrity thanks to the success of TLC Reality Series L.A. Ink, is back to a City she knows well, being engaged to Toronto Superstar DJ/Producer deadmau5.  The best-selling Author is in-town to promote her latest Book from HarperCollins, Go Big or Go Home, which features Essays and illustrations of large-scale Tattoos.

Von D (short for von Drachenberg) kicked-off her day of Press out at KISS 92.5 appearing on the Roz & Mocha Show, before heading the down road to Global Television‘s The Morning Show (National Edition).  In great spirits, she stopped to sign some Autographs and pose for Photos.  Noticing Billy with me she called out, “Oh, look!  A little Marshmallow!!”.  Aww! For some odd reason I clicked the Timer button on my Camera  by accident and when doing our Selfie, she was more than nice to smile for a full 12 seconds before the flash finally went off.  Sweetheart!

She will appear at Chapters – John & Richmond tonight at 7:00 PM and if her last Signing in December 2010 is any indication how popular she is, you should really get there early as she signs copies of Go Big or Go Home tonight.
