Universal Pictures Canada x Mr. Will want to give Readers a chance to win Advance Passes to see LAST CHRISTMAS! Screenings take place Wednesday, November 6, 2019 in:

TORONTO
VANCOUVER
MONTREAL
OTTAWA
CALGARY

Synopsis:
Emilia Clarke (HBO’s Game of Thrones), Henry Golding (A SIMPLE FAVOR, CRAZY RICH ASIANS), Michelle Yeoh and Emma Thompson star for Director Paul Feig (A SIMPLE FAVOR, SPY, BRIDESMAIDS) in the romantic comedy LAST CHRISTMAS, with a screenplay by Academy Award® winner Thompson (SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, BRIDGET JONES’S BABY) and Playwright Bryony Kimmings.

Kate (Emilia Clarke) harumphs around London, a bundle of bad decisions accompanied by the jangle of bells on her shoes, another irritating consequence from her job as an elf in a year-round Christmas shop. Tom (Henry Golding) seems too good to be true when he walks into her life and starts to see through so many of Kate’s barriers. As London transforms into the most wonderful time of the year, nothing should work for these two. But sometimes, you gotta let the snow fall where it may, you gotta listen to your heart.

LAST CHRISTMAS features the music of George Michael, including the bittersweet holiday classic of the Film’s title. The Film will also premiere brand new unreleased material by the legendary Grammy-winning artist, who sold more than 115 million albums and recorded 10 No. 1 singles over the course of his iconic career.

Disney+ will be streaming the live-action version of beloved LADY AND THE TRAMP. Here is a brand-new Trailer!

Synopsis:

In Disney+’s “Lady and the Tramp,” a timeless re-telling of the 1955 animated classic, a pampered house dog and a tough but lovable stray embark on an unexpected adventure and, despite their differences, grow closer and come to understand the value of home. Life is good for Lady, an overachieving American Cocker Spaniel who resides in an upscale suburban neighborhood. Her owners, Jim Dear and Darling, spoil her daily and her neighbors, Jock, an outspoken Scottish Terrier and Trusty, a world-weary Bloodhound, are always within barking distance. But when a baby enters the picture, Lady is no longer the center of attention, and the arrival of cat-loving Aunt Sarah only complicates matters. Lady soon finds herself alone on the streets in an unwelcoming part of town. Fortunately, Tramp steps in, and the streetwise mongrel is quick to teach her the ways of the world. Before long, the prim and proper pure bred and the fast-talking mutt are partaking in moonlight strolls in the park and romantic spaghetti dinners by candlelight. Tramp savors the independence of a world without leashes or fences alongside his roguish friends Peg and Bull, but Lady misses the comfort and safety of a family, and soon both must decide where – and with whom – they belong. A heartwarming romantic adventure that seamlessly combines live action and photorealistic animation, “Lady and the Tramp” stars: Tessa Thompson as the voice of Lady and Justin Theroux as the voice of Tramp; Kiersey Clemons as Darling; Thomas Mann as Jim Dear; Janelle Monáe as the voice of Peg; Yvette Nicole Brown as Aunt Sarah; and Sam Elliott as the voice of Trusty.

LADY AND THE TRAMP premieres on November 12, 2019, streaming only on Disney+.

So I met some of the Toronto Raptors. All of them basically!  Friday night was an unsuspecting night. I was to pick-up a friend at the airport visiting from L.A.  Low and behold I notice Marc Gasol of the Raptors coming out of arrivals. And then another. And another. They were basically coming from all directions, but then I remembered the team was just in Tokyo for a couple exhibition matches last week and it was my luck that I was at the right place at the right time! There are several new faces this season, but it’s exciting seeing these and familiar stars from the Team! We did see Kyle Lowry but he was busy with his family so we didn’t want to bother. No sign of Coach Nick Nurse, sadly!
