'Happy Feet', 'Royale' Still Ruling Box Office
Dec 3, 1:40 PM EST
The Associated Press
New York A dancing penguin and the world's deadliest spy have settled in for a long stay at the top of the box office. The animated penguin tale "Happy Feet" was the No. 1 movie for the third straight weekend, posting ticket sales of $17 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Also for the third straight weekend, the James Bond adventure "Casino Royale" ran a close second, taking in $15.1 million.
"Happy Feet," from Warner Bros., raised its total domestic gross to $121 million. Sony's "Casino Royale" has climbed to $115.9 million.
With a fairly open market for family crowds through Christmas, "Happy Feet" is expected to top out at $185 million or more, said Jeff Goldstein, general sales manager for Warner Bros.
Topping $300 million worldwide, "Casino Royale" is on the way to surpassing the $432 million total of "Die Another Day" to become the top-grossing Bond movie, said Rory Bruer, head of distribution at Sony.
"It's been all about 'Happy Feet' and 'Casino Royale' for the past three weeks. Those films have really captured the marketplace," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers. "I've never really seen two movies define the start of a holiday season in the way these two have."
Denzel Washington's thriller "Deja Vu" remained in third place for a second straight weekend with $11 million, bringing the Disney release's total to $44.1 million.

Maria full of grace
I have become a fan of drug-related movies :oops: This one is a ride with maria, who is hired to transport drugs from columbia to NY. The drugs are transported by making a few girls swallow them and you know how they take those pellets out :) Excellent acting by Catalina Sandino Moreno and she looked very charming. The climax was very lame though :oops:
No One...infact this movie has sparked protests because US Conservatives are against Enviormentalism! :banghead: :rotfl:Quote:

a another story book with beautiful artistic painting coming to life
(few anachronistic mistakes too)
much waited movie for this period of time i am bit disappointed but
Visual appeal and Oscar isaac :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ( as Joseph ) outstanding
The Fountain ' , fantastic spiruitual theme of death , tree of life and fountain of youth
tying to be technically impressive as a result they have wasted it weirdly
presentation only further confuses the nub of the story extruded artistically
Rachel weisz :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Darren Aronofsky's right. His Requiem for a dream was mindblowing but I dint understand his Pi at all. I heard that the fountain is on the lines of Pi, so I decided to skip it :oops:Quote:

Blood Diamond....:o...what a movie! what a performance by Leonardo Di Caprio! :thumbsup:...definitely one of the best of this year!! so captivating...there was not a moment where i lost interest....:)
His movie choices have been superp...Catch me if you can; Departed; Aviator and Blood Diamond....:clap:....He's proven himself for sure - such versatility and especially his accent in the movie 8-) ...wow...keeps impressing me movie after movie...
There were so many scenes that I enjoyed seeing....the scene that impacted me the most was the last 15 minutes of the movie...Leo and Djimon Hounsou's performances in the last scenes were awesome ...:cry:...
He deserves an Oscar for this, in my opinion...one of the best movies with definite Oscars...:) :) :)
Carandiru

Based on a real life incident of a riot in the Carandiru prison in Sao Palo where riot police killed many inmates....

Babel
Now that it has won a golden globe, its a must watch. This, IMO is not as good as innaritu's first two movies (Ameros Perros and 21 grams) but it is certainly the best this year. Odds are pretty high for an oscar :thumbsup:
Lucky No Slevin
Really cool movie. Some really cool acting, great camera work and amazing art direction. Story is nothing new but the way the movie is shot is pretty cool. Check it out sometime.
Movie stars Bruce willis , Josh Hartnet and Lucy Liu.
Weekend of Japanese movies. I became a big fan of Takashi Miike after watching 'Audition' and 'Dead or Alive'. I rented 'Visitor Q' this weekend and was not disappointed. Extremely violent and sexual in Miike's own way, the movie is as disturbing as is satisfying. It tells the story of a dysfunctional family, whose way of life changes after a stranger's visit. Not for the faint of heart though.
'Battle Royale' was the other movie I watched. A group of Japanese school children are left to fight and kill each other off until only one survives. Again the movie is extremely violent, but raises important questions about modern life style and state policing.
Looks like the Japanese aren't content with making 'normal' movies anymore. But I am not complaining. In fact, they are so much different from the usual fare that's on offer these days :).
Night at the museum
good entertaining movie with few decent comedy at intervals.
Beginning of the films starts very slow, so slow that i though the movie is going to be total crap but it got much better as the story moved on.
Worth a watch :wink:
kannannn, I have Audition with me. I borrowed it from my friend a month back. But I am really scared to watch it after reading a few reviews :shaking:
Kasi, summa dhairiyama paarunga :). I won't reveal the scenes and spoil your fun :lol: , but let me know what you think after watching it.

Dint quite understand the movie completely, but it has got me thinking :P But I dont think I will watch another Miike movie in the next ten days atleast :oops:
And yeh, strongly recommended :lol2:
:) ....I like Denzel Washington...and the story seemed different and interesting but it's not 'Blood Diamond' or 'The Departed'...I was just thinking of the concept of going back in time like he did...Quote:

Exactly. And the kiri kiri ( or whatever, that means deeper) thing was spine-chilling and unforgettable as well. :shaking:Quote:
