Anything Under The Sun

Justin Beiber will really never say never because he is now the hot teen sensation. Almost in every part of the world, he is hailed as the most famous and brightest star of all. No wonder his latest documentary is a big hit to the moviegoers and it really gains support from fans especially in the United States.

The “Never Say Never” is a documentary film about the life of a teenage boy who once dreamed, failed, but continued on his heart’s desire until he reached the pedestal of success where he is standing now. A lot of people, especially the young ones, are very much inspired with Beiber’s success.
The Documentary “Never Say never” has earned 72.2 Million dollars domestically in the United States and it is branded as the most successful of all times. It surpasses beyond the King of Pop’s “This is It!” which earned 72.1 Million dollars domestically. It looks like Michael Jackson’s throne has been dominated by this young boy now. But of course, he still needs to trudge on a long way to even reach the level of Michael Jackson. I know that Justin Beiber will be able to accomplish, and even surpass Jackson’s accomplishment and contribution in the music industry.

Congratulations to Justin Beiber for the wonderful documentary and for inspiring people all over the world with your music.

After the controversy on the life of drama-comedy actor and award winning director Mel Gibson, he is now back in a movie that would make people like him again. Mel Gibson is on his fallout when he was dropped as a cast of the movie Hangover because of his anti-Semitic, racist and misogynist rants. A lot of people are very disappointed about Mel Gibson and started to dislike him.

But now, Mel Gibson is back under the hood of the movie “The Beaver”. The movie is all about the story of Walter, a father who lost everything because of being broken. He lost his family, he lost his self and most of all the confident to live a wonderful life. At the verge of his distress, he found a beaver puppet on the garbage. Desperate of changing all the negativities that happened to his life, he put a voice to a puppet beaver in a British accent and from then on, he and the puppet become one. Because of that, he was able to revive the trust of his wife and get his family back. The puppet beaver that is clutched on the hand of Walter help him become a better person that he is used to be.

The story actually resembles on the real life of Mel Gibson. He is on the end of the rope when people started to turn their back on him because of the controversy. Just as he is about to fall out, this movie “The Beaver” will make people like him again. The movie will surely explain his remorse and that like Walter, he also want to change everything and get the respect back from the people. Mel Gibson has his chance on the movie “The Beaver” to let the ball rolling again.

The love story between the vampire-human-werewolf continues to entertain millions of people around the world. The Twilight saga receives full support from fans and every sequel is a sure blockbuster on the theater.

But if you think all the people in the world is hooked and getting addicted to the Twilight story, you are wrong. The people at Rio De Janeiro is protesting against the filming of the final installment of the movie. People in Rio de Janeiro experienced inconvenience because of the filming of the movie in their place. They could not even easily access their homes because of the Twilight filming.

Residents in the Central Lapa district set the crew’s portable toilet into fire to show their protest because they are already fed up with the inconvenience.

Because of this, tough security has been enabled for the entire production. The filming of the said movie will in one way or another contribute to the economy of Rio de Janeiro positively.

The movie is set to be in theater by next year and in the year 2012. So the protest will definitely not a hinder to finish the film.

Yes. You read it right. The exciting journey and battle between Vikings and Dragons will start all over again. The DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. has just declared that “How to Train Your Dragon” will have its sequel on 2013.

Just like the first release, the sequel of the movie will also come in a 3-D. The main cast will also be featured again such as the voice of Jay Baruchel as a Hiccup, Craig Ferguson as Gobber and America Ferrera as Astrid.

Based on the record, “How to Train your Dragon” is currently on the 8^th spot in worldwide box office in the year 2010 when it comes to grosses. This is a very good job knowing the fact that this is not a franchise or has not established worldwide audience.

That is why I am not surprised when I learned that there is a part two. Well personally, I think the movie deserves to have a sequel because first and foremost, it is in 3D, then most of all, this is something new for all audiences.

The film will be released on the year 2013. And I am sure that a lot of viewers are now looking forward for the sequel.

The Country singer Taylor Swift once again will take the center stage. This time, not to sing the Love Story song but as a lead actress in the movie “Mean Girls”. A movie about a former child star on her stint in a reality TV dating show.

The movie was originally offered to the actress Lindsay Lohan. But Lohan’s situation may not permit this to happen, the movie producer has decided to offer the table to Swift to replace Lohan. We all know that Lindsay Lohan is facing hard time as she and her family is trying to sort out issues about her. The troubled star is on her difficult journey in her life, and the producer of the said movie has finally decided to move on and find somebody who can do the role. It may take time if they are going to wait for Lohan to be available.

Acting stint is not something new to Taylor Swift. She had a special appearance on “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and the movie “Valentine’s Day”. This could be a big break to the “Love Story” singer as she can show her other side aside from singing.

Resident Evil will soon release it’s fourth installation on theater. The title of this new Resident Evil movie is Resident Evil:Afterlife.

I don’t want to spoil you about this movie so I will just give you a quick story about this. The scenario is about the advent of Alice which is played by Milla Jovovich to the world in search of the remaining survivors in the ruined Los Angeles. She will see her arch nemesis in this movie as she struggles her way out of zombies.

This is a must see film. If you have been watching previous installment of Resident Evil, this is something you should not miss.

One of the best features of this movie is that, it comes in 3D. Witness the unveiling of Resident Evil:Afterlife in 3D with more emphasis on the effect, materials, lightnings and props.\

The movie has been shoot in Canada for almost 4 months in the year 2009. According to sources, the movie also used the 3D Fusion Camera of James Cameron which has been probably used in Avatar. It is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and is set to be in theater on September 10, 2010.

Let’s watch this movie.
