Twilight Vampire Movie Takes No. 1 At Box Office. The mopey teenage vampire movie, Twilight, took the number one spot at the box office this weekend.

The Plot of Twilight Vampire Movie
Seventeen-year-old Bella (Kristen Stewart) moves from sunny Phoenix, Arizona to dreary, rainy Forks, Washington when her free-spirited mother decides to go “on the road” with her new, minor league baseball-playing husband. She moves in with her disturbingly unobservant father, the sheriff in the 3,000-person town, and begins her junior year at the local high school in the middle of March.

Bella’s a mopey, humorless teen who keeps to herself, but as high school popularity is based 95% on looks, she falls in with a cool crowd. She’s drawn to Edward (Robert Pattinson), one of five impeccably coifed 17-year-old adoptive children of local doctor Carlisle Cullen (Peter Facinelli). He, however, acts strange towards her, at times unnaturally intrigued and at other times rudely repulsed.

Once they finally hash things out, it becomes clear that he indeed finds her appealing but for some reason feels it’s in her best interest if they don’t interact. Their mutual attraction can’t be contained, however, and Bella eventually puts two and two together to figure out that Edward and his clan are vampires. Edward explains that he can read minds, but he’s intrigued by the fact that hers is blocked. They quickly become more than friends, as he indoctrinates her into the ways of the vampire (apparently, they enjoy giving piggyback rides).

Twilight was an amazing movie!
i really liked the movie. i was looking forward to it for a while, and im really glad i saw it. it sounds weird, but for the most part, the only people who liked it are the true twilight fans. i really want to see it again though because it was amazing.
I think this movie was horrible.. It really wasnt as action packed as they made it seem. I think They should keep it to the books.
I loved the movie. It was great.
I’ve read all of the books and, in my opinion, the movie was just OKAY. It could’ve been better. Definitely was not AMAZING…
Not being a person who enjoys reading- I have to say this movie really was awesome to me. I’m definitely going to read the books and hopefully get better insight. Can’t wait to see the movie again
Enjoyed the series a lot. Also liked the movie.

Anna Faris Ironic Outrage - Anna Faris Plays Playboy Bunny, Humiliated Over Nude Scene (GALLERY)

Today’s hottest internet personage is about Anna Faris, the new star of “House Bunny”.  Anna was publicly outraged this week when she had to break her no nudity clause to fulfill her role acting as a Playboy Bunny. 

Anna Faris House Bunny

I can understand how it might be upsetting when you have to cross a line you didn’t want to cross… However, this particular story is rampant with irony because Anna Faris is not playing a school teacher… she’s playing a Playboy Bunny… The role itself would be humiliating to someone who is shy…

Anna noted, “It was my first nude scene and it wasn’t supposed to be me… I had a body double and we had some complicating factors with her…. I was really uncomfortable… It was really humiliating.”

Anna Faris also made comments about Hugh Hefner’s ‘wondering eye’.  It’s ALSO ironic that she would find this surprising.  She’s playing the role of one of his ‘bunnies’ and he’s the czar of a dirty magazine empire… So yes, he probably has a wandering eye…

Very ironic indeed jeremy. The guys who see the movie assume its her body, so its kinda silly she has the attitude of being ok with having a body double nude as her, but not her. I think she was probably be embarrassed because of being nude around the production team whom she knows for long.

The Perry-labed comedy-drama Meet the Browns starring Angela Bassett

The Judd Apatow brand is something. The Tyler Perry brand is something else.

The Perry-labed comedy-drama Meet the Browns, starring Angela Bassett, was the Easter weekend’s biggest hit, theater for theater, grossing $20 million off about 2,000 screens, per estimates compiled Sunday by Exhibitor Relations.

Overall, the film placed second. Dr. Suess’ Horton Hears a Who!, playing on nearly twice as many screens, retained the No. 1 spot with a strong second weekend take of $25.1 million.

Drillbit Taylor, the latest comedy from the Apatow factory, meanwhile, sputtered to the weakest start of any of the major new releases: a $10.2 million take, and a fourth place debut.

At least Drillbit Taylor–a Freaks and Geeks meets The Bodyguard, starring Owen Wilson–was a few steps up the economic ladder from Apatow’s last producing effort, Walk Hard, the rock-biopic satire that basically did what satires are said to do: Close on Saturday night.

The prolific Apatow has now gone about seven months without a No. 1 hit, it was noted ironically.

The just as busy Perry has himself gone five months without a box-office topper. But Perry has been arguably more consistent than Apatow of late.

Of Perry’s five feature films, four of the five have opened with at least $20 million. Apatow’s last five features as producer have either debuted super big (Superbad, Knocked Up, Talledega Nights) or not so much (Walk Hard, Drillbit Taylor). Either label probably would have done Semi-Pro’s bellbottoms some good.

Elsewhere:

After 12 weekends–nearly 25 percent of the year–Hollywood still doesn’t have a $100 million hit. Horton, now standing at $86.5 million overall, should end the drought by next weekend.
Shutter (third place, $10.7 million), the latest redo of a Japanese horror hit, wasn’t The Ring or The Grudge. Frankly, it wasn’t even One Missed Call. On the upside, though, it wasn’t Dark Water, either.
Under the Same Moon (10th place, $2.6 million), the story of boy trying to find his illegal-immigrant mother in Los Angeles, cracked the Top 10 on the strength of only 266 theaters. Among the weekend’s biggest films, its per-screen average was second only to Meet the Browns.
Adam Carolla’s movie career is showing more promise than his dancing one. His new Rocky-esque comedy, The Hammer, did all right at 20 theaters, grossing $107,045.
Well, it was close but Will Ferrell’s Semi-Pro ($1.1 million; $32.3 million overall, per Box Office Mojo) ended up making more money than A Night at the Roxbury. Barely.
Saying goodbye to the Top 10 were: Doomsday ($2.2 million; $8.9 million overall); The Other Boleyn Girl ($2 million; $22.5 million overall); The Spiderwick Chronicles ($1.2 million; $67.8 million, per Box Office Mojo); and, the dearly departed Semi-Pro.
Here’s a recap of the top-grossing weekend films based on Friday-Sunday estimates compiled by Exhibitor Relations:

Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who!, $25.1 million
Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns, $20 million
Shutter, $10.7 million
Drillbit Taylor, $10.2 million
10,000 B.C., $8.7 million
Never Back Down, $4.9 million
College Road Trip, $4.6 million
The Bank Job, $4.1 million
Vantage Point, $3.8 million
Under the Same Moon, $2.6 million

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Actors reunite at William S. Paley Television Festival

“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” was resurrected for one night only. The cast of the popular supernatural series, which ran from 1997 to 2003 on The WB and then UPN, were in good spirits Thursday while reuniting for a panel discussion at the William S. Paley Television Festival. That doesn’t mean fans should expect the gang to get back together on screen.

“So many stars would have to align,” creator Joss Whedon said about the possibility of a new “Buffy” project.

For seven seasons, the slayer and company battled vampires, demons, werewolves, high school and other forces of darkness with tongue planted firmly in cheek. “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” based on the movie of the same name, was never lauded with many awards, but it has been cited by many critics as being one of the most influential shows in TV history.

Sarah Michelle Gellar said she was surprised to find out moments before the reunion that her character recently had her first sexual tryst with a woman in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight,” a comic book series that picks up where the show ended. Gellar also reminisced about auditioning 11 times before landing the role of Buffy Summers.

“All my friends felt sorry for me because I was on a midseason replacement on a network no one had heard of on a show based on a movie that wasn’t all that,” the 30-year-old actress said.

Before the panel, audience members watched the fifth-season musical episode “Once More, With Feeling.” Other cast members at the reunion were Amber Benson, Nicholas Brendon, Emma Caulfield, Seth Green, James Marsters and Michelle Trachtenberg, who played Buffy’s surprise sister Dawn and will join the cast of The CW’s “Gossip Girl” this fall.

The 25th Annual William S. Paley Television Festival will take place March 14 to 27, 2008, at a new location: the historic Cinerama Dome at the ArcLight in Hollywood, CA.

PALEYFEST is an extraordinary interactive pop culture event, connecting fans with the casts and creators of their favorite series as well as the icons who have changed or are changing the face of media. Named for William S. Paley, founder of both the Center and CBS, PALEYFEST continues its twenty-five-year tradition of celebrating the collaborative creativity behind making great entertainment content—from the genesis of an idea to that vital connection with audiences the world over.

Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who stands first at box office again

Audiences are still listening to Horton and his Who pals. “Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who,” 20th Century Fox’s animated adaptation of the beloved children’s book, remained the top movie for a second straight weekend with $25.1 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Featuring the voices of Jim Carrey and Steve Carell, the movie raised its 10-day total to $85.5 million.

“Horton” fended off a rush of new movies opening over Easter weekend.

Lionsgate’s “Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns,” about a single mom who connects with previously unknown kin at her late father’s funeral, opened in second place with $20 million.

It was the latest success for writer-director and co-star Perry, whose past hits for Lionsgate include “Madea’s Family Reunion” and “Why Did I Get Married?” Shot on modest budgets, Perry’s movies play to a built-in fan base.

“You kind of know what you’re going to get with Tyler Perry, and that’s a good thing,” said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers. “You want to be in business with this guy because he’s going to make you money every time.”

“Shutter,” 20th Century Fox’s fright flick about a newlywed couple tormented by a spirit whose image appears in their photos, opened at No. 3 with $10.7 million.

Just behind it at No. 4 was Owen Wilson’s comedy “Drillbit Taylor,” which pulled in $10.2 million. The Paramount release stars Wilson as a laid-back homeless guy who signs on as bodyguard for three bullied teenage nerds.

The acclaimed “Under the Same Moon,” a border tale about a Mexican boy trying to reunite with his mother in the United States, was No. 10 with $2.6 million, a record opening weekend for a Spanish-language film. Released by Fox Searchlight and the Weinstein Co., the movie has taken in $3.3 million since opening Wednesday and also took in $1.7 million in Mexico, where it debuted this weekend.

“Under the Same Moon” surpassed the previous Spanish-language record set by “Ladron Que Roba a Ladron,” which opened with $1.6 million last Labor Day weekend.

Both movies opened in far more theaters — “Under the Same Moon” at 266, “Ladron” at 340 — than typical Spanish-language films, which generally debut in a handful of cinemas before gradually expanding to wider release if they click with movie-goers.

“We thought this was a movie that could play as a commercial movie, not as an arthouse movie, to Spanish-language audiences,” said Peter Rice, Fox Searchlight president.

The movie started mainly in theaters catering to Spanish speakers. But it also enjoyed strong word-of-mouth publicity in cinemas dominated by English-language crowds, where business picked up strongly over the course of the weekend, said Weinstein Co. co-founder Harvey Weinstein, whose had found success with foreign-language films such as “Cinema Paradiso” and “Amelie” when he ran Miramax.

Fox Searchlight and the Weinstein Co. plan to gradually roll “Under the Same Moon” out to more theaters in the coming weeks.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Media By Numbers LLC. Final figures will be released Monday.

1. “Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who,” $25.1 million.

2. “Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns,” $20 million.

3. “Shutter,” $10.7 million.

4. “Drillbit Taylor,” $10.2 million.

5. “10,000 B.C.,” $8.7 million.

6. “Never Back Down,” $4.9 million.

7. “College Road Trip,” $4.6 million.

8. “The Bank Job,” $4.1 million.

9. “Vantage Point,” $3.8 million.

10. “Under the Same Moon,” $2.6 million.
