Synopsis:
From New Line Cinema comes the romantic comedy “Isn’t It Romantic,” starring Rebel Wilson (“How to Be Single,” the “Pitch Perfect” films), Liam Hemsworth (the “Hunger Games” films), Adam Devine (“The Intern,” the “Pitch Perfect” films) and Priyanka Chopra (“Quantico,” “Baywatch”), under the direction of Todd Strauss-Schulson (“A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas,” “The Final Girls”).

New York City architect Natalie works hard to get noticed at her job but is more likely to be asked to deliver coffee and bagels than to design the city’s next skyscraper. And if things weren’t bad enough, Natalie, a lifelong cynic when it comes to love, has an encounter with a mugger that renders her unconscious, waking to discover that her life has suddenly become her worst nightmare—a romantic comedy—and she is the leading lady.

One in every five Canadian children is at risk of starting the day off on an empty stomach. Mott’s Fruitsations and Breakfast Club of Canada have teamed-up for their BUY A CUP GIVE A CUP Campaign. From now till March 2019, for every Mott’s Fruitsations cup purchased, Mott’s will be donating one cup, up to a half-million to Breakfast Club of Canada.

In-town to raise awareness for the Campaign is none other than our v. own Neve Campbell, star of the Scream Franchise, Skyscraper and House of Cards.

We spotted Campbell out and about spreading the word and while this is our second time meeting her, she hasn’t changed one bit. Still a sweetheart! Her stops today included KISS 92.5, 680 NEWS, Breakfast Television and more.

See her appearance on Breakfast Television here.

Nominations for the 91st annual Academy Awards were announced this morning and the race still very much is wide-open without a clean-cut choice for Best Picture… and no host set for ceremony itself.

Tying at ten nods apiece are Alfonso Cuarón‘s ROMA and Yorgos Lanthimos’ THE FAVOURITE. Best Picture nominees include:

Best Picture
Black Panther
BlacKkKlansman
Bohemian Rhapsody
The Favourite
Green Book
Roma
A Star Is Born
Vice

Continuing on its Golden Globes success, we see Bohemian Rhapsody continue to be a major force into the Oscars with Rami Malek up for the highly-competitive Best Actor alongside Bradley Cooper, Viggo Mortensen, Willem Dafoe and Christian Bale.

The Best Actress category also is hotly-contested with screen veteran Glenn Close up against Lady Gaga, Melissa McCarthy, Olivia Colman and aboriginal Mexican Actress Yalitza Aparicio, who stars in ROMA.

Marina de Tavira who also stars in ROMA, pops-up as a bit of a surprise candidate for Best Supporting Actress. The category also includes favourite Regina King, Amy Adams, plus The Favourite Co-Stars and previous Oscar winners, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz.

Best Supporting Actor sees Mahershala Ali in contention with Adam Driver, Richard E. Grant, Sam Rockwell after a snub at the Golden Globes, Sam Elliott for A STAR IS BORN.

Many are shocked that after a presence in the Directing category most of Awards Season, that Bradley Cooper was omitted in the Oscars race for his directorial debut in A STAR IS BORN. Up for Best Directing are Spike Lee, Adam McKay, Pawel Pawlikowski, Yorgos Lanthimos and favourite Alfonso Cuarón.

Another noticeable omission is Morgan Neville’s Mr. Rogers Documentary WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR? which has been present through much of the season. Nominated for Best Documentary are Free Solo, Hale County, This Morning, This Evening, Minding the Gap, Of Fathers and Sons and RBG.

The Animated Feature category sees Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse pitted against Incredibles 2, Isle of Dogs, Mirai and Ralph Breaks the Internet.

Toronto’s Domee Shi is up for Animated Short with Disney•Pixar’s BAO.

Complete list of Nominees are here.

The 91st annual Academy Awards air February 24, 2019, 8:00 PM EST on ABC.

Chinese New Year falls on Tuesday, February 5, 2019 and this year we celebrate the Year of the Pig!

We don’t know about you, but the Year of the Dog treated us pretty well. Being born in the Year of the Dragon, we were expecting it to be much worse with the Dog and Dragon notoriously not getting along well.

About those born in the Year of the Pig
While they don’t often stand out in a crowd, pigs are blessed with beautiful personalities and fortunate lives. While often frugal, they at once can be materialistic, but are enthusiastic and motivated. They enjoy status and can be outspoken.

Famous people born in the Year of the Pig include Arnold Schwarzenegger, Snoop Dogg, Stephen King, Alfred Hitchcock, Ernest Hemingway, Hillary Clinton, Michael Jackson, Elton John and Ronald Reagan.

What does your Year of the Pig Horoscope hold for you? How compatible is your sign with the Pig? I’ve combed the internet for Chinese Horoscopes and these were my faves. The first is super-easy to understand and concise. The second is detailed and offers Feng Shui recommendations:

Happy Chinese New Year! Wishing you success in career, love, health and finances! And take my mom’s advice, no bathing or cleaning on Chinese New Year Day as it is unlucky! Clean and tidy-up your homes before Chinese New Year Day. Also try to get your haircuts done before the New Year. Sea Salt baths also are good for cleansing negative energies.🐖

Mr. Will x billy

Synopsis:
Investigative reporter Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) is trying to expose Dr. Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed), whom he believes recruits vulnerable people for tests that end up killing them. Eddie doesn’t like the fact that his girlfriend Anne (Michelle Williams) works for him, or at least, the firm she works for does.

One night, Eddie discovers a woman (Jenny Slate) following him. She tells him she works at the Life Foundation and needs his help. She and her team have discovered creatures called symbiotes, which attack people. She tells him Carlton Drake believes the union between human and symbiote “is key to our evolution.”

When Eddie investigates, he’s attacked by one of the humans undergoing experimentation. He soon feels sick and begins hearing a deep voice inside himself. When men come to his apartment demanding the return of Mr. Drake‘s property, Eddie discovers he has superpowers when he defends himself. The powers belong to the voice inside him, and he tells it, if it’s going to stay, it can only hurt bad people. However, he soon finds he has no power to control the beast within, which transforms into a creature that calls itself Venom.
