04.2.2012 | By Karen Posada |

‘The Hunger Games’ continues to hold on to the number one spot in the box office, it seems like it will be very hard for someone to take its’ place. This was one of the most anticipated movies of the year and it begins the month of April holding on to its’ place with $61.1 million dollars.

A sequel follows it, ‘Wrath of the Titans’ which has received compliments because it is better than its’ predecessor. This movie of action and mythology took second place with $34.2 million dollars.

The children’s movie ‘Mirror, Mirror’ starring Julia Roberts shyly took third place with $19 million dollars. It could be because according to critics this new version doesn’t enhance the story of Snow White.

Pictures of Gael GarcÃa Bernal in â€˜A Little Bit of Heavenâ€™

The new film from Mexican actor Gael García Bernal, ‘A Little Bit of Heaven’, is just weeks away from premiering in the United States and four new pictures of Bernal, in the film, have been released online.

This time, Bernal plays doctor Julian Goldstein, who tries to cure a woman (Hudson) suffering from cancer, but then becomes her love interest.

In the pictures we can see Bernal’s character dancing, lunching and chatting with Hudson. The actor from ‘Amores Perros’, usually doesn’t do romance films, besides ‘Letters to Juliet’ but he seems comfortable in this role in which he’s not asked to be a Mexican but an Anglo-Saxon.

The plot of the movie mainly focuses on Marley Corbett (Kate Hudson) a beautiful and fun young woman that is scared to open up to true love. Despite of the fact that she uses her sense of humor to avoid her romances to becomes serious, a visit to her doctor (Bernal) sends both to an adventure of mutual discovery, which allows personal and intimate revelations to occur which neither one of them thought possible.

The director from ‘A Little Bit of Heaven’ is Nicole Kassell (The Woodsman) and stars Kate Hudson, the famous daughter of legendary actress Goldie Hawn. The film will debut on May 4^th along with ‘The Avengers’ in the United States.

‘The Hunger Games’ breaks records with $155M!

03.26.2012 | By Karen Posada |

‘The Hunger Games’ is the third movie in history to make so much money in its debut, after ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2’ and ‘The Dark Night. Also it is the first non-sequel in history to collect such a huge amount, at the same time is the movie that has earned the most for Lionsgate studio, with the outstanding sum of $155 million dollars. There is a number of infinite reasons for its success, the fact that it’s based on a successful trilogy by Suzanne Collins or the controversial theme of its story or that the advertising campaign gave its all world-wide. Whatever it is, the formula they used worked.

The comedy ’21 Jump Street’ which was number one last week follows it, adding $21.3 million dollars to their profits. It was very hard for this comedy, which many critics say it’s the best one of the year so far, to fight against the enormous debut of the one that took first place.

‘Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax’ fell to third place, although it has done very well this month after its’ premiere. The $13.1 million dollars from this weekend add up to the $177 million dollars total it has earned, almost the amount that the number one this week achieved in only its’ premiere.

The Top 10 Movies in the Box Office are:

1. The Hunger Games – $155 mil

2. 21 Jump Street – $21.3 mil

3. Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax – $13.1 mil

4. John Carter – $5 mil

5. Act of Valor – $2.1 mil

6. Project X – $1.9 mil

7. A Thousand Words – $1.9 mil

8. October Baby – $1.7 mil

9. Safe House – $1.4 mil

10. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island – $1.4 mil

New pics of PenÃ©lope Cruz in 'To Rome with Love'

The first pictures of Penélope Cruz in the new Woody Allen, ‘To Rome with Love,’ are officially out. In these four photographs, we see Cruz playing a sexy and beautiful woman flirting to an Italian man.

The plot of ‘To Rome with Love‘ is a story about a number of people in Italy, some American, some Italian, some residents, some visitors, and the romances and adventures and predicaments they get into.

The outstanding cast includes Woody Allen‘s return to the big screen, Ellen Page, Jesse Eisenberg, Alec Baldwin, Roberto Benigni, Penelope Cruz, Judy Davis, Alison Pill, and Greta Gerwig. Allen got a hit with Midnight in Paris, nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards and we’re expecting this film to be a hit too.

‘To Rome with Love‘ is scheduled for release in the U.S. on 20 April this year.
