Beyonce Fights Off Ali Larter in Obsessed
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Thrillers, Trailers, Upcoming Releases
So this is what qualifies her to be Wonder Woman?
Back in November, Cadillac Records’ Beyonce Knowles talked about her desire to play the female superhero. In her interview with the Los Angeles Times, she said her work on a recent movie had her eager to do something a bit more physical.
“I play a wife fighting for her family and I have this big, big fighting scene with Ali Larter, who is an incredible actress. It took us days just to film it. I had my boots on and, wow, I got into it. So I really want that now. Now I have to do an action film. It’s like dancing and choreography. And the superhero movies now, they’re not corny, not corny at all, so that’s what I want to do. And I would love if it could be Wonder Woman.”
Well, in case you were wondering, this is the film she was referring to.

Box Office Breakdown: Another Festive Weekend for Four Christmases
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Disney, Lionsgate, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Animation, Drama, Family, Music, Period, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Box Office, Lists
Faced with little competition, last week’s #1 lived to see another win. Four Christmases took in $16.8 million over the last three days - a 46% drop from its first outing - to bring its cumulative total to $69.8 million. The comedy was only one of two films to pass the $10 million mark this weekend.
The only new entries in the Top Ten were Cadillac Records and Punisher: War Zone. Despite a relatively small opening (it only hit 687 theaters), Cadillac averaged $5,015 per theater for a 9th place finish. Meanwhile, Punisher took in a disappointing $4.3 million, less than 1/3 of what the first film did in 2004.
Despite premiering at #22, Frost/Nixon was actually this weekend’s top performer. Ron Howard’s film earned a whopping $60,236 per screen average from only 3 theaters.

Beyonce Knowles Sets Her Eyes on Wonder Woman
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Adventure, Celeb News, Rumors
She already calls herself Sasha Fierce...why not call her Wonder Woman as well?
In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, singer/dancer/actress Beyonce Knowles said it would be nice to see a few more people of color making some news these days. Even though she has two completed movies scheduled for release - and a third solo album due out Nov. 18 - the newlywed is already looking ahead. What would she like to see in her future? A form-fitting red, white and blue number.
“I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman? It would be great. And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It’s time for that, right?”
