We love PAC-MAN!  In celebration of our favourite Video Game icon’s 35th Birthday on May 22nd, major celebrations around the World will be held with free plays of the Video Game, Birthday Cake and Celebrity Guests!  In case you weren’t aware, he will also be appearing in eagerly-awaited Blockbuster PIXELS, which was filmed in our City last Summer!

Official Synopsis:

As kids in the 1980s, Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), Will Cooper (Kevin James), Ludlow Lamonsoff (Josh Gad), and Eddie “The Fire Blaster” Plant (Peter Dinklage) saved the world thousands of times – at 25 cents a game in the video arcades.  Now, they’re going to have to do it for real.  In Pixels, when intergalactic aliens discover video feeds of classic arcade games and misinterpret them as a declaration of war, they attack the Earth, using the video games as the models for their assaults – and now-U.S. President Cooper must call on his old-school arcade friends to save the world from being destroyed by PAC-MAN, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Centipede, and Space Invaders.  Joining them is Lt. Col. Violet Van Patten (Michelle Monaghan), a specialist supplying the arcaders with unique weapons to fight the aliens.

All 75 Dave & Buster locations across North America will be partaking in the fun in offering free plays on the oversized PAC-MAN BATTLE ROYALE to all guests who have a Power Card.  There also will be opportunities to win thousands of dollars all Summer long!

Celebrations will be held in Chicago, Tokyo, Paris, Spain and UK. For more details, visit here.

In case you couldn’t get enough of it the first time, Fans of The Mortal Instruments will be thrilled that the Young Adult Series by Cassandra Clare being adapted into a Television Series. We were thrilled the Film Adaptation was made in our City a couple years back and devastated that plans to continue additional installments were nixed.

Preparations are underway with the Series’ three Leads in the City and it appears they were off to do some training this morning in athletic wear.

The Series centers on Clary Fray (Katherine McNamara) and her quest to find her abducted Mother. Along the way, she finds out some startling truths about her lineage.

After winning the hearts of Moviegoers around the World in 2002 with a whopping $370 million grossed at the Box Office, the time has come to continue a Rom-Com legacy.

It was almost a year ago when we spotted lovely Creator and Star Nia Vardalos and she had confirmed the intention to make this Sequel in our City:

We were beyond thrilled today by chance to meet one of the Film’s Stars, John Corbett, who reprises his role as Ian Miller. Although admittedly, Corbett wasn’t thrilled about being spotted, he was a perfect Gentleman taking a minute to walk back over and clarify the situation. “These guys come right up to our home in California and we’re tired of it”, he says. “I reacted that way because this is my home for the next while”. “It’s my job to protect Bo also”, he says about his stunning Wife, whom we also admire greatly for her work and her support of the Horse Racing industry. I appreciate more than anything his explanation and have so much respect for Corbett, and are glad we had a proper conversation. After explaining himself, we have a better picture where he’s coming from and he was beyond nice to take a Selfie with me after everything. Usually a “no” is a “no”.   Anyone who knows me understands how huge a Sex and the City Fan I am and knows how happy this makes me. Aidan is a personal Fave.

With the awesome #JohnCorbett, in town filming #MyBigFatGreekWedding2! We had a nice chat about privacy. #MyBigFatGreekWedding #SATC #SexAndTheCity A photo posted by Will Wong (@mrwillwong) on May 20, 2015 at 9:09am PDT

Okay, we get it. Some of us weren’t happy with Steve Jobs Biopic, jOBS.  This however looks the part.  Universal Pictures have just released this Teaser for upcoming JOBS, out this Fall.  And if we’re lucky enough we just might see it do the Festival Circuit.  TIFF ’15, anyone?

Official Synopsis:

Set backstage at three iconic product launches and ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac, Steve Jobs takes us behind the scenes of the digital revolution to paint an intimate portrait of the brilliant man at its epicenter.

Steve Jobs is directed by Academy Award® winner Danny Boyle and written by Academy Award® winner Aaron Sorkin, working from Walter Isaacson’s best-selling biography of the Apple founder. The producers are Mark Gordon, Guymon Casady of Film 360, Scott Rudin and Academy Award® winner Christian Colson.

Michael Fassbender plays Steve Jobs, the pioneering founder of Apple, with Academy Award®-winning actress Kate Winslet starring as Joanna Hoffman, former marketing chief of Macintosh. Steve Wozniak, who co-founded Apple, is played by Seth Rogen, and Jeff Daniels stars as former Apple CEO John Sculley.

The film also stars Katherine Waterston as Chrisann Brennan, Jobs’ ex-girlfriend, and Michael Stuhlbarg as Andy Hertzfeld, one of the original members of the Apple Macintosh development team.

Universal Pictures Canada release STEVE JOBS on Friday, October 9, 2015.

Exclusive!  We caught wind that Supermodel Kate Moss landed in Toronto this weekend for some rest and relaxation Victoria Day weekend on Friday night.  Arriving in sunglasses, the private English Beauty quietly slipped into the City and was spotted in Yorkville Saturday morning enjoying Lox and Cream Cheese on a Bagel on the patio.

Moss was seen later that night at Soho House partying, as she is known for best, but Fans eager to get a Selfie were turned down. A quick Google Search in fact, generates little to no Selfie results – a strong indication of her private ways.

Her Pal and fellow Supermodel Cara Delevingne is said to be back in town for work on Suicide Squad too although Delevingne wasn’t spotted with her at Soho House although we hear they spent some time together.

Holy frack! T-Swift delivers her A-Game in the eagerly-awaited Music Video for Bad Blood! She brings out her BFFs in a star-studded Girlfight Action Fest which premiered tonight during the 2015 Billboard Music Awards!  Thought originally to be inspired by some tension between Swift and Katy Perry, it’s clear who has the former’s back on the matter.

Selena Gomez! Zendaya! Lena Dunham! Cara Delevingne! Hayley Williams! Hailee Steinfeld! Gigi Hadid! The hotness won’t quit. Director Joseph Kahn known best for Britney Spears’ Toxic Music Video achieves a new career best.

Watch and witness it yourself:

PITCH PERFECT 2 hits a high note with a stellar debut at the Box Office!  The Musical-Comedy picks-up where its Predecessor left-off in 2012, earning $64 million from 3,473 theatres in its opening for Universal Pictures.  In comparison, its Installment, opened wide with $15 million only. Critics gave it a solid 68% on the Tomatometer, while Audiences gave it an A- CinemaScore.

Despite big expectations of MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, it opens in second with a still-impressive $43 million for Warner Bros., from 3,702 theatres.  This latest Chapter in a Franchise directed by George Miller which dates all the way back to 1980, is winning over Critics abound with an outstanding 98% on the Tomatometer and a B+ from Audiences. By comparison, the first Film in the Mad Max Series back in 1980 would go-on to gross $8.7 million, while Sequel Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome would earn $36 million in its run in 1985.

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON in its third week still is going strong with $37 million for Disney/Marvel.  In three weeks it has made a whopping $370 million domestically.

HOT PURSUIT is a distant fourth with $5.6 million for Warner Bros., now earning $26 million in its two weeks out thus far.

FURIOUS 7 is in fifth this weekend with $3.5 million in its seventh week out, now grossing $343 million.

Acclaimed Sci-Fi Flick EX_MACHINA is in ninth spot this weekend with $2 million for A24 Films/Mongrel Media, nearing the $20 million mark domestically.

FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD rounds-out the Top Ten with $1.3 million for Fox Searchlight.

This looks so good. Anne Hathaway and Robert DeNiro. Why hasn’t this happened sooner? Director Nancy Meyers (The Holiday, Something’s Gotta Give) sure knows how to make a great Film and we expect nothing less of her this time. How cool is it seeing Hathaway in the Editor’s chair this time after making us fall in love with her in The Devil Wears Prada?

Official Synopsis:
In “The Intern,” De Niro stars as Ben Whittaker, a 70-year-old widower who has discovered that retirement isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Seizing an opportunity to get back in the game, he becomes a senior intern at an online fashion site, founded and run by Jules Ostin (Hathaway).

See the Trailer:

I’m just putting it out there – although this isn’t the type of Movie that gets a Premiere at TIFF, I’m still hoping this will get a debut here this September!

Warner Bros. Pictures Canada release THE INTERN on Friday, September 25, 2015.
