Since I’m interning at a movie magazine here in Toronto, I figured I’d share the stories I come across and write for all of you readers!

Shawn Desman “Alive” Movie Premiere

Naomi — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:38:16 +0000

On February 1, I had the opportunity to attend the red carpet premiere for Shawn Desman’s movie Alive.

Scored with songs from his new record, Alive follows the ups and downs of a small town dancer who moves to the big city to pursue her dreams.

It was a short and sweet film, that had an inspirational theme, amazing dance scenes and of course a great soundtrack.

Check out the pictures I was able to capture on the red carpet:

You can catch the film airing on MuchMusic at 7pm on Tuesday, February 5 (the day Shawn’s studio album also comes out!)

Breaking Dawn Part 2 Canadian Premiere

I’ve been on a winning spree lately and I think it was topped off by winning two tickets to last night’s Canadian premiere of Breaking Dawn Part 2 from Flare Magazine.

Though you can’t call me a Twihard, I’ve read the books, and watched all of the movies, so I was definitely looking forward to being one of the first in Canada to watch the film.

eOne was definitely exclusive and extra precautions were made to ensure no filming or recording of the film was done. As soon as we got up the elevator at the Scotiabank Theatre in Toronto we joined a line to receive our tickets. After finding our names on a long list, we received not only the ticket, but a hand stamp and wristband as well. Then in order to get into the theatre, there was another line to check in all phones and electronic devices.

The movie itself was pretty good. I’d even argue that it was the best of the series. It was an epic end to the fantasy world Stephanie Meyer created that millions of people around the world have come to love.
