Toronto Escorts In The News!

Hell hath no fury like “Chloe.”
Atom Egoyan’s drama is brisk March movie-going that comes in like a lamb and goes out like a woman scorned.
In the film, Julianne Moore and Liam Neeson are married intellectuals, deliberately unraveled by the demons they themselves create. Delicately tortured discussions about day jobs or door-slamming son Max Thieriot creak more than the skeletal tree branches their open-concept home is nested in.
So it’s no surprise when crows begin to arrive. Or that the form they take is so shapely.
As a chameleonic prostitute who ac-sex-orizes her clients’ most prurient desires, Amanda Seyfried pouts, primps, flirts, flounces. When she’s hired by Moore to tempt Neeson, enticement soon becomes something darker.

In Atom Egoyan’s Chloe, however, Seyfried is no longer the awkward best friend or beach-kissed blonde; she’s a high-priced prostitute who’s hired by Catherine, a gynecologist played by Julianne Moore who wants to find out if her husband is cheating on her. Rather than hire a private dick, Catherine hires Chloe to see if her husband (Liam Neeson) will fall for the fresh young bait. But once Catherine sets this transaction in motion, she finds herself in a complicated relationship with Chloe that goes far beyond cold hard cash.
Seyfried sat with Cinematical to discuss her complicated young character, working with Atom Egoyan, and, of course, Catherine Hardwicke’s The Girl with the Red Riding Hood. At the time of this interview, it was not publicly confirmed that Seyfried would star in Red Riding Hood. (Seyfried had told Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet at the Oscars that she was going to be in the movie, but the publicity machine quickly had the blunt and beautiful young actress …

… I think that one of the things that Atom plays with a lot in his films is this notion of what is perception and what is real,” Moore says. The sun is to her back, which makes her literally blinding to look at. “The fact of the matter is that it doesn’t really matter to any human being whether or not anything is real. What we perceive is real to us. If a person comes to a room and claims to have seen a ghost, you say to them, ‘Ghosts don’t exist.’ They say, ‘I just saw one.’ Then who’s right? In their life, that’s what they saw.”
Suspecting her husband (Neeson) of infidelity, Moore’s character, an obstetrician, hires a prostitute (Seyfried) to seduce him and then report back on what happens. As the charade goes on, the women’s relationship takes unexpected turns (more so in Chloe than in Nathalie), and the film grows less classifiable as it goes along.

IN an online story pub­lished in  Toronto Life,  a headline attributes a pot­entially upsetting quote to the seemingly polite, soft-spoken Canadian film­maker Atom Egoyan: “Toronto  Is a Prostitute.” 
It turns out Egoyan was not ascribing Ontario’s capital city with a predilection for commerce over love. (Heaven forbid!) That was just Egoyan’s way of describing how the city is occasionally obliged to engage in some kinky role-playing whenever a movie production comes to town. Toronto has to dress up as other cities — New York or Chicago, typically — and let those production companies have their way with her.

Chloe, an adaptation of the Paris-set French film Nathalie, posits a complicated transaction that jumps into gear when a Toronto doctor, played by Julianne Moore, tests the fidelity of her music professor husband (Liam Neeson) by hiring a call girl (Amanda Seyfried) to attempt a seduction.

Moore plays Catherine Stewart, a doctor with a troubled son, Michael (Max Thieriot), and a popular college-professor husband, David (Liam Neeson) – perhaps too popular. Known for a close relationship with his students, David arouses Catherine’s suspicion with his e-mails and long nights. When he misses a flight from New York to their home in Toronto – and the enormously expensive surprise party Catherine has thrown for him – she finds evidence that maybe there was more to it than just running late.
Determined to test his fidelity, Catherine hires Chloe (Seyfried), a young prostitute, to try to seduce David and see how far it will go. If words like “entrapment” ring in your head, well, she’s not going to arrest him. Just find out if he’s cheating (or willing to). Remember, it’s only a movie.

In his closing address to the jury Thursday, Howard Goldkind said his client Awet Zekarias never implored his best friend and gunman Edward Paredes to fire at the burly bouncer who tossed him out of the Yonge St. strip club.

The lawyer for one of the men charged with killing an innocent passerby on Toronto’s Yonge Street two years ago said Thursday it was bar staff and the co-accused who were responsible for the shooting tragedy — not his client.
Howard Goldkind, the lawyer representing Awet Zekarias, 25, in the Toronto court said his client wouldn’t be on trial if it weren’t for the use of force by staff of the Brass Rail Tavern. Goldkind said that led to the angry behaviour of his client.
The defence attorney went on to say that the real problem was the other accused, 25-year-old Edward Paredes. Goldkind said that if Zekarias had not been sitting at a table with Paredes he would not be on trial for any crime.
Zekarias and Paredes have pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder.
The court heard testimony that Paredes and Zekarias were in the strip club celebrating Zekarias’s birthday.

Maybe it’s just that I’d like my sexy, nudie, art-house, soft-core flicks to be a little healthier in the psychological department. I realize this request does not necessarily make for the best stories ever, but messed-up folk lying to the people they’re fucking isn’t automatically interesting, either.
There’s Catherine Stewart, see, a Toronto doctor played by Moore, a goddess at portraying cold, clinical femininity. She thinks her husband David (Liam Neeson) is having an affair. After a chance meeting in a restaurant ladies’ room with a high-class call girl, Chloe (Seyfried), Catherine hits on the notion of hiring Chloe to approach her husband — not as a prostitute but as a student. David works as a music professor, a job that regularly puts him in the path of easily impressed, worshipful young things — and his wife wants to know how he’ll respond to a lovely, willing young supplicant.

What’s lacking is the subtlety and sophistication of his best works like “The Sweet Hereafter.” “Chloe” is “Fatal Attraction” dressed up in Freudian clothing. The movie hints at deep issues like the breakdown of communication between longtime spouses, but it’s really more interested in titillating and scaring us.
Catherine’s suspicions about her music-professor husband are reinforced when he misses a flight home to Toronto (ruining a surprise birthday party) and she then finds a friendly text message on his mobile phone from one of his female students.
All in Family
That’s when she hires Chloe, a young call girl with pouty lips, to find out if David is on the prowl. After every encounter, Chloe reports back with more salacious details that seem to both repulse and fascinate Catherine, who ends up having a lesbian tryst with her that’s so steamy it will fog up your glasses. Even Catherine’s rebellious teenage son (Max Thieriot) can’t escape Chloe’s clutches.

But auteurthough he may be, the Toronto-based Egoyan has been squinting behind the camera lens for more than half of his 49 years in a whole lotta contexts. Lest we forget, he made pretty good coin in the late 1980s directing episodes of pulp-ish TV fare such as Friday the 13th, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Twilight Zone.
The fact that his latest feature, Chloe, is, on its glittery, glassy surface at least, an erotic thriller with a big-name cast shouldn’t therefore be construed as a cinematic dumb-down. As he likes to say: “I know the language; I enjoy it.” Amanda Seyfried of Mamma Mia! fame is the titular character, a gorgeous, pricey but decidedly spooky call girl who’s hired by Catherine, gynecologist to the rich and famous (Julianne Moore), to test the fidelity of her husband, a charismatic and flirtatious university professor named David (Liam Neeson).
