"Happyness" at last!
His rags-to-riches tale "The Pursuit of Happyness," a rare foray into fact-based drama for the rapper-turned-comedian, sold about $27 million worth of tickets during its first three days of release across North America, distributor Columbia Pictures said on Sunday.
Smith's movie, which the studio said cost just over $50 million to make, is based on the true story of Chris Gardner, a homeless entrepreneur and single father who eventually became a successful stockbroker. Smith's own son, Jaden, plays his on-screen son.Columbia said it had hoped for an opening in the low $20 million range. The audience was mostly female and older, according to exit polling data provided by the studio.
"The Pursuit of Happyness" marks Columbia's 13th chart-topper this year, extending the record that it set at No. 10. The Sony Corp .-owned studio has grossed a record $1.58 billion so far this year at the domestic box office, also setting a new record, the studio said. Columbia set the previous record of $1.57 billion in 2002, the year that it launched "Spider-Man."
Also new were the fantasy "Eragon" at No. 2 with $23.4 million, and the children's adaptation "Charlotte's Web" at No. 3 with a modest $12 million. (Figures are for the period beginning December 15.)
Last weekend's champion, Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto," slid to No. 6 with $7.7 million. The 10-day total for the violent saga stands at $27.9 million. Distributor Walt Disney Co. said it was happy with the film's performance, even though its 49 percent drop was easily the steepest in the top 10.
The romantic comedy "The Holiday," which also opened last weekend, fell three places to No. 5 with $8.2 million, down 36 percent. Columbia's Nancy Meyers-directed film, starring Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz, has earned $25.3 million to date. Meyers' previous film, 2003's "Something's Gotta Give," had earned $33 million at the same stage in its run.

GREAT MOVIES PARADE 2
"EPIC MOVIE"
Imagine Superman,Wolverine,Storm, Magnetto,Harry Potter, Borat, Willy Wonka, and Capt. Jack Sparrow in one movie, waaahhhh!!! that's worth paying for! But I am not saying they'd be starring together in a flick,it's just their clones.hehe
Yup! After Date Movie, and Scary Movie here comes the Epic Movie,wackingly spoofing those blockbusters and busteds we saw in the theaters! I watched the trailer and I laughed all the way,well Scary and Date movie was my favorite comedy,I hope this not eventually exceeds,just level those flicks.
In the spirit of "Scary Movie" and "Date Movie, a parody that spoofs recent mega-blockbusters. The comedy centers itself around four orphans who visit a chocolate factory and are transported to the wonderful land of Gnarnia, after stumbling upon an enchanted wardrobe. There they battle pirates, encounter earnest wizards and attempt to defeat Gnarnia's dastardly White Bitch.

Night at the Museum
Funny man Ben Stiller returns with another hilarious flick with such an unusual setting, imagine watching those things in the museum coming back to life.weird and creepy? Well actually, Ben Stiller says "It's kinda cool". Also stars Robin Williams and Owen Wilson, this movie will be released this Christmas in the US,let's wait for it to be released here,..this would be our relief to some of MMFF's stupid movies,yeah right.
Good-hearted dreamer Larry Daley, despite being perpetually down on his luck, thinks he's destined for something big. But even he could never have imagined how big, when he accepts what appears to be a menial job as a graveyard-shift security guard at a museum of natural history. During Larry's watch, extraordinary things begin to occur: Mayans, Roman Gladiators, and cowboys emerge from their diorama to wage epic battles; in his quest for fire, a Neanderthal burns down his own display; Attila the Hun pillages his neighboring exhibits, and a T-Rex reminds everyone why he's history's fiercest predator. Amidst the chaos, the only person Larry can turn to for advice is a wax figure of President Teddy Roosevelt , who helps our hero harness the bedlam, stop a nefarious plot, and save the museum.

Apocalypto and Beyonce claim the top spot!
Mel Gibson's bloody epic "Apocalypto" debuted as the No. 1 weekend movie, proving the filmmaker still can deliver a winner despite his drunken-driving arrest and anti-Semitic rant last summer.
"Apocalypto," a Disney release set in the Mayan civilization and told in an obscure Mayan language, opened with $14.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
It was a modest haul compared to the $83.8 million opening weekend of Gibson's last movie, the 2004 religious blockbuster "The Passion of the Christ," which went on to do $370 million domestically.
Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" climbed 1 rank higher from last week's #2 to #1 in Billboards Hot 100 tracks. Slipping through is Akon's 2 billboard entries,his 2nd single "I Wanna Love You" at #2 and "Smack That" featuring Eminem at #3. Gwen Stefani's "Wind it Up" continue to rise on the list,as it gains more airplays and sales. Will Beyonce remains irreplaceable at #1? We'll find out next week!
AVRIL DEBUTS AT 22!
It's been so long since we last heard of avril being active on the music scene and now she's back on the airwaves with her new song " Keep Holding On" which is an official soundtrack of the upcoming movie "ERAGON" which is to be released this 15th of December. Avril proved that she is still a hit when her new song debuted at #22 in the Billboards during it's first week of radio circulation, an airplay gainer and the newly most requested song in US and Europe. The music still sounds like Avril.(I think the song is included in her last Platinum album,Let Go.),The song was an excellent choice for the movie, it has an uptight rocky rhytmn which matches the movie's for-young-adults theme. It wasn't Avril's first time to do a soundtrack, she already recorded a song for the Spongebob Movie in 2005.
I tried to find a video for this song,but there was none. I think they don't have plans yet in making a video, but after it's success in the Billboard, why would they not? So, let's just wait and see.
I found a cool video from youtube though, It's Avril's new song played over the the movie's theatrical trailer. It's kinda cool,so go and check this out.
Painfully Gorillaz
GORILLAZ-EL MANANA
Gorillaz new video "El Manana" is so misterious and dark, the video is so powerful that you could feel the pain of the elements. I dont know if thats what other people think too,but for me,God! Its so sad.
The video opens with the floating windmill ,the one we saw in the video of"Feel Good Inc.".( I think its a sequel,I dont know maybe not,maybe yes). Then noodle was attacked by killer choppers and down he goes..
Interesting and cool videos has been the trademark of the group,from the Group's animated appearance,'til their cool and witty songs,Gorillaz has been climbing charts and stages for awards because of their uniqueness. Then this video, I think this would hit another score. Theres no much talked about this video though,but for me..its cool, unique and outstanding. from the timing,the music,superb animation..damn,this video has a lot to offer.
Watch the video and see for yourself.
Rating:
9/10 - I got nothing more to say, just inexplainably cool.
Music and Drama,..Knowles,Murphy and Foxx way!
"DREAMGIRLS"
SYNOPSIS: Effie White, Deena Jones, and Lorrell Robinson - three friends from Chicago - are a promising singing trio called The Dreamettes. Accompanied by their songwriter C.C. White (Effie's brother), they travel to New York to compete in a talent show at the Apollo Theatre.
Although the girls lose this first bid for fame, their talent attracts an ambitious manager by the name of Curtis Taylor, Jr., who uses unscrupulous tactics to move the girls from backup singers of superstar James "Thunder" Early to superstars of their own. Curtis reshapes the group to "crossover" from R & B to the lucrative pop music scene. Lead singer Effie gets replaced by the more attractive Deena and is eventually dropped from the trio.
The group evolves into a more sophisticated group, The Dreams, with a lighter sound and chic look. They successfully attract a "whiter" audience and The Dreams rise to international stardom. The money, fame, and adulation, however, doesn't bring them happiness.

Rating:
8/10
* Films dominated by black people are usually flops. But the movie offers exciting elements so lets just see. Murphy's a good actor though. And Foxx,count the Oscars Man.
Happy Feet remains undefeated!!!!
James Bond was no match with mumbles' tap dancing. Happy Feet remains the no.1 movie in US for 3 weeks in a row!Happy Feet grosses $17,545,418 over Casino Royales'not so distant $15,112,870. Happy Feets' cumulative gross bubbles up to $121,501,018 still ahead of Bonds' $115,876,024 . The Nativity Story by the way,were not able to surpass Bond and Mumble, despite of good reviews,Vaticans recommendations and other good stuffs we read in the papers. Nativity places to #4 with $7,849,304 below Deja Vus'$10,947,752 weekend gross.
Other new movies who managed to enter the Top ten were Turistas at #8 and National lampoons Van Wilder: Rise of Taj at #10. I hope Happy Feet could still manage to retain its block against huge movies like Mel Gibsons Apocalypto,Blood Diamond and The Holiday that will have their opening this week.
If Happy Feet scores another huge grossing next week and could eventually surpass the $150 Million mark, we could welcome Happy Feet to the list of all time Box-Office!
Check this Out!!!
Hostel Part 2: Teaser Trailer in German Language!
( Dont worry there are subtitles)
" The Saints are back!"
Yup! The All saints who became famous with the songs " Never ever","Pure Shores" and" Lady Marmalade" are back with their brand new single " Rock Steady".( I dont know if there's an album already but I'm sure this song is great!)
Rock Steady is a genious mixture of pop,electronica like music with an upbeat rhythmn, really like an All saints in trademark. Yeah, its a great decision on their part that they didnt try to change their genre in music( like the one happened for BSB,where are they anyway?), people love their music,people knew them on their old ways so why bother change? Rock Steady is like more of a come backing song with the girls saying" Yo,gone are the days of sleeping,we here to heat up again!"The song was geniously created with no stupid gimmicks and unnecessary ads. A certified hit for another victory in the music scene.....( hope so!).
Check out their new video in youtube or in MTV ( I think it wasnt yet released here...)It's actually cool and sexy.
