Talley for ‘Knight’ Even Bigger

Posted on Jul 22, 2008 under Action, Adventure, Box Office, Top 5 List, Top Ten List | 1 Comment

The Dark Knight brought in even more money than actually estimated $158.3 versus $155.3 million.  I am happy to see that Mama Mia! came in second. It’s a great story that everyone can relate too.

Colin Firth in ‘Mama Mia!”

Posted on Jul 22, 2008 under Actors, Box Office, Musical | No Comment

Vanity Fair does a great piece on Colin Firth whose recent musical film, Mama Mia!, opened to great reviews and box office score for a movie of its caliber.

You can see Firth as an over-the-hill middle weight, creative director or 17-year-old stage door Johnny.

Next Wave of Starlets

According to Vanity Fair, I am inclined to agree, these girls are the next wave of Hollywood starlets:  

Amanda Seyfried in upcoming Mama Mia!  

Emma Roberts starred in Nancy Drew and next is Wild Child.  

Blake Lively was Bridget in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and reprises her role in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.

Kristen Steward played Tracy in Into the Wild will be seen in Twilight, Adventureland and What Just Happened?
