It’s virtually impossible not to use my Samsung S7 for music in this era of digital streaming. And this is coming from the guy who still buys CDs! I really do! But as I begin to see the value of discovering Music on apps like Spotify, I want to be able to listen to those amazing tunes out loud, not just on my headphones. This is where the Music Flow P5, a new venture into wireless speakers for electronics giant LG, is gonna change our lives.

The Music Flow P5 comes with:

• 2.0 Channel Audio
• Bluetooth capability
• Built-In Rechargeable Battery
• Dual Speaker Pairing
• Multipoint
• Sound Sync Wireless

This means I no longer have to sleep beside my phone as I enjoy the sound of Music before bed. This means also that that I no longer have to blare my Music on full-volume (and sub-bar quality) from my phone while I work away. I can enjoy my music wirelessly as the Music Flow P5 can last up to 15 hours… without being plugged-in. Best of all, it sounds great!

If this excites you, stay tuned as I want my Readers too to discover the greatness of the LG Music Flow P5!

New toy! Thanks LG for the #MusicFlow. I can now enjoy music on my phone anywhere out loud. Amazing sound quality! #LGMusicFlow #LGMusicFlowP5

Although TIFF ’16 distracted us a bit from its release, we were pumping Lady Gaga‘s new single PERFECT ILLUSION non-stop when we could. And now already comes a new Video for the Mark Ronson dance-rocker collabo, which honestly is more Jem & The Holograms than anyone might admit! The Track debuted at an impressive #15 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100!

We love this mic-swinging Clip which moves at a frenetic pace!

PERFECT ILLUSION appears on Lady Gaga‘s upcoming Disc, JOANNE.

Their chemistry is explosive! We cannot wait for the Holidays, partly because of PASSENGERS.

Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt are two passengers onboard a spaceship transporting them to a new life on another planet.  The trip takes a deadly turn when their hibernation pods mysteriously wake them 90 years before they reach their destination.  As Jim and Aurora try to unravel the mystery behind the malfunction, they begin to fall for each other, unable to deny their intense attraction… only to be threatened by the imminent collapse of the ship and the discovery of the truth behind why they woke up.

We’ve been away a bit due to TIFF ’16,  but we’re back with some Box Office freshness!  SULLY continues its domination a second week with $22 million from 3,525 theatres for Warner Bros.  Thus far it has tallied at $70.5 million across North America.

BLAIR WITCH after its Premiere at TIFF ’16, opens this weekend with $9.6 million from 3,121 theatres for eOne Films/Lionsgate Films. It gets 36% on the Tomatometer, while Audiences gave it a D+ CinemaScore.

Opening in third is BRIDGET JONES’S BABY with $9 million from 2,927 theatres for Universal Pictures. It gets mostly positive Reviews at 78% on the Tomatometer and a B+ CinemaScore.

SNOWDEN opens in fourth this weekend with $8 million from 2,444 theatres for Open Road Films/Elevation Pictures. It earns a 59% on the Tomatometer and an A CinemaScore.

THE WILD LIFE, an Animated Feature, opens in eighth with $2.6 million for Lionsgate Films from 2,493 theatres.

PETE’S DRAGON rounds-out the Top Ten for Disney with $2 million in its seventh week out. In total it has grossed $72 million over six weeks.

One of our favourite TIFF bashes annually is the UniFrance Party, held at The Fifth Social Club. While the Red Carpets during the Festival are very Hollywood-centric, this one event stretches the scope of the Festival to include French-language Film. Several high-profile names graced the Carpet at the Party this year including iconic actress Isabelle Huppert and auteur Filmmakers like Paul Verhoeven, François Ozon and Olivier Assayas. Legendary French actress Agnès Varda who was a dear friend of the late Jim Morrison, also attended in a rare appearance.

The Cocktail Party is brought to us by the Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image Animée (CNC), Ministère des Affaires Etrangères et du Développement International (MAEDI), Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication, Institut Français, Procirep, Mairie de Paris, Air France, Lacoste, m0851 and Renault Nissan.

See some Snaps from the glamorous bash!
