17 Again Southern Chocolate Scoop

i was supposed to see Crank with my boo-dizzle this weekend but instead we (or should i say "I") took the kiddies to see 17 Again.  oh yes, i kicked. i screamed. then, i finally put my hands in the air and admitted defeat.  Ok, i'm being a bit dramatic but, when you roll with the teenie boppers, the smooth persuasive tactics you thought you had are total fail.

Oh. Em. Gee.  i have a confession to make *gasp* i secretly liked this movie...a whole damn lot.

first, i'd like to say, when the hell did Zac Efron get so damn cute?  it makes me feel all coug-a-lishous to say that.  secondly, even though this white boy possesses some  stellar dance moves, why must he break out into dance in every single movie?  didn't highschool musical end last year?

17 Again, reminded me of Tom Hank's Big but with the opposite story line.  This movie is basically about a guy whose life didn't quite turn out how he wanted it to and wishes he could go back to high school and change it.  He wakes up one day and is seventeen again and gets a chance to rewrite his life.  

It's funny, it's cute, and the Lord of the Rings references made me laugh my head off.  It was well worth a sunday viewing.  and of course, the teenies were swooning.

My Sister's Keeper's Maple Nut Scoop

here's another film that makes my 2009 most anticipated film list and i highly recommend this one.  seriously. i tear up every single time i see the preview:

">

i already love this movie because hits so close to home -- it's the perfect combination of happiness and sadness.  this movie is for anyone who is a cancer survivor or for those who provide continuous love and support to those that fight this evil battle.  battling cancer means walking down a road unpaved, full of sharp rocks and other obstacles.  The best medicine is to smile through the tears and remain positive.  It'll get you through the worst days.

just go see this movie!

it's funny.  every time i see a New Line film, i have to ask myself, "what the hell was i thinking turning this offer down?"  I really do enjoy mostly all the films they produce and they continue to impress me.  and besides, Fox Searchlight, New Line Cinema ranks second among my favourite studios.  stupid LA vs Toronto.  i really hope i made the right decision. 

Apple Pie Adventureland Scoop

Suprisingly, this movie got rave reviews. Do I think it deserved this? No

While I wasn't expecting a Superbad 2, I was a little disappointed with this film.  Therefore, I give it a two out of four stars.

Taking place in the summer of 1987, Adventureland is the story about a rich college student who receives news that his parents have gone broke and are unable to pay for his tuition.  His plans for a European vacation are halted and he's forced to work at a rundown theme park where he meets a whole slew of interesting characters.

The soundtrack is oozing with 80s goodness.  However, I was a little upset that my beloved "Blister in the Sun" by the Ramones wasn't in the actual movie.  I would have grinned ear to ear like a fool.  It's one of my all time favourite songs! EVER.

In all honesty, the script is pretty good.  Where did the movie go wrong?

The casting...and one person in particular: Kristen Stewart.

I truly believe this movie had mad potential to do well but Kristen Stewart ruined it for me.  She's not passionate enough when she acts.  Instead, she almost comes off as a nerve-wracked, emotionless teenager.   She did the same thing playing Bella in Twilight.  It's almost like she needs a strong male counterpart to make up for what she lacks in the acting department.  This actually makes me worry about how she'll deliver New Moon which is supposed to be a very emotionally charged movie.  She's also set to play Joan Jett in The Runaways.  Seriously? I really don't think she's going to make a good Joan Jett.  Why do critics praise her so much?

To end on a good note, I loved Jesse Eisenberg.  While he's no Michael Cera, he totally reminded me of him. He charmed my pants off in this film and I really think he has star potential, should he be given the chance to shine.  There's something sexy about those nerdy-lookin-subtly-funny-a-little-too-skinny boys.   

Harry Potter Huckleberry Scoop

i meant to post this scoop as it was "breaking" movie news but unfortunately, life has gotten in the way of updates.

the fifth harry potter trailer is out. have a look:

i have to applaud warner bros when it comes to this series. they take their time with the sequels and just perfect it as each passes. while i've never read the books, i find myself actually enjoying the movies - something, given the genre, i never thought would happen. however, as each film is made, i'm more and more intrigued.  2009 most anticipated film list, indeed.

the preview looks great. what do you think?

Sex and the City Spumoni Scoop

“Maybe mistakes are what make our fate... without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart... and if you're very lucky, a plane ride away”

for all you gals who have carrie fever, this scoop is for you.

Mark your calenders ladies! Warner Bros and New Line Cinema announced today that they will release "Sex and the City 2" in theatres on May 28th 2010. I don't know about you, but 2010 just got a whole lot more scandalous. you know i love it :)

After the amazing success of the first film, pulling over 426 million dollars worldwide, all four girls are back on the big screen. The sequel will be penned by the amazing director-writer Michael Patrick King so its already ooozing in greatness!

so, do you think they'll bring back gilles marini? samantha's very sexy, hot, italian-stallion-like-woah (minus the face -- ok, well the face isn't that bad-- am i going to hell for saying that?) man candy.

which lady are you most like? oh come on, you've probably already had this discussion with your girls already?

what would you like to see in the sequel? discuss discuss!


so ladies, gather your girlicious entourage together, shop for a sexy cocktail dress and be prepared to dance the night away with delicious martinis and sexy manolos. at least, that's how my girls roll!


ex oh ex oh -- ok, ok, wrong show.

Love-You-Man Lemon Scoop

Ok, I know what you’re thinking. Two Jason Segal blog entries in a row? Well, what can I say? I love him, man.

Slappin deee bass, slappin dee bass. I’m, uhh, doin reggae man!

It’s been awhile since I’ve laughed every other minute in a movie. This movie was JUST THAT GOOD.

Jason Segal and Paul Rudd make one spankin’ dynamic duo in this bro-mantic flick. In I Love You, Man, a friendless Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) goes out on series of dates with the hope of landing a best man for his upcoming wedding. After experiencing more than his fair share of bizarre, awkward dates, he meets a charming, witty and daring investor named Sydney Fyfe (Jason Segal). Sydney is able to bring Peter out of his shell *cue music* cause that’s what friends are for. As the friendship blossoms between these two men, it also starts to put a strain on the relationship between Peter and his fiancé. He finds himself forced to choose between the love of his life and his new found bro. Of course, you watch it all go down in a slew of awesome one-liners and comical jokes!

So I’m checking box office stats like I usually do and the results are baffling me. Why is Knowing doing better at the box office than I Love You, Man? That is whack! Are guys that turned off with the whole bromance notion that they refuse to see it? What’s the big deal with it anyway? Having hung out with the boys all my life, I’ve learned that most guy friends tend to be more chill, have a fiercer loyalty than girls do and certainly have cruder versions of “sex and the city” sessions than we do. Why is it so hard for men to express love to their closest friends when you know that they’d give up their first child for them? Why is it acceptable for a guy to say something like, “I love that dude like a bro” but not straight out say, “I love you, man?” Societal standards are truly retarded.

On a side note, my friend asked me who I would pick if I had an opportunity to pick a date with either Jason Segal or Seth Rogen. Is that even a question – Jason Segal is my 3rd future husband, yo. He has a perpetual tan and loves Disneyland and Muppets – we’d be perfect! I’m a sucker for sexy, smart, funny, California surfer dude types. *swoon*

So, yes folks, this is one bro-mantic comedy you don’t want to miss – especially if you are craving a good laugh. Besides the laughs, it has enough loving to make you all warm and fuzzy. Make no mistake, I will pimp out this movie to the max cause yeah man, it totally totes m’goates.
