“Seven Pounds” is another upcoming movie starring Oscar nominee Will Smith to be shown this Christmas. Here, Will Smith will play as Ben Thomas who is a remorseful IRS agent who sets out to help seven complete strangers. At first, his mission is a bit odd then suddenly he will end up falling in love with a woman who has a heart condition. Check out the trailer below for some spoilers.
I can’t wait to watch this movie. It’s not just that I am a big fan of Will Smith but also because I want to know the difference of this film from the one he has made before, prior to this film. Yes, I was mesmerized with his acting on “The Pursuit of Happyness” especially that his son Jaden Smith is also there. I really love that story that’s why I can’t wait to see another upcoming movie of Will Smith that was created by the same director, Gabriele Muccino. For sure, this will be undoubtedly another award-winning acting for Will Smith.

Scariest Movies Ever
This is certainly a great topic to talk about especially that Halloween is just a few days away. Although I haven’t seen on this MSN list the movies that really freaked me out just like the “Exorcism of Emily Rose” and “Gothika”, I believe these are surely some of the scariest horror movies that give goosebumps to those individuals who watched these films.
According to MSN, a great horror film should make the viewers jump, squirm, sweat and scream for whatever generations they belong. And this top 10 horror movies have done such efforts to do all of these aspects (although I haven’t watched most on the list). See this list of the scariest movies from MSN and also, feel free to post on the top 10 horror films of your own.
10. "Eraserhead" (1977)
David Lynch's cult classic is the closest thing to being stuck in a nightmare: Not much makes sense, but you get the feeling that nothing is quite right. Lynch employs dinners that walk off the plate, eerie silences that become deafening and an infant that makes Rosemary's baby seem cute and cuddly. So chilling it's damn near unwatchable.
9. "The Exorcist" (1973)
The real terror of "The Exorcist" may not involve Satan and possession, but the helplessness of a parent trying to save a child. Of course, a ton of harrowing special effects and director William Friedkin's somber respect for the supernatural subject matter doesn't hurt either. It's horror for grown-ups.
8. "Halloween" (1978)
John Carpenter's film is blamed for the rash of slasher films that destroyed the genre in the '80s, but "Halloween" possesses a style and intensity that most of its copycats lack. From the opening sequence -- when we see through the eyes of little boy Michael Myers as he stalks and murders his sister -- onward, the film relies on suspense rather than sensationalism. Our fear is caused by what might happen rather than actual events, as Carpenter spends a good amount of time in darkness, making us see things that may or may not be there.
7. "Don't Look Now" (1973)
Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie head to Venice to forget the tragic accidental death of their child. However, it's impossible to forget when the dead child keeps reappearing. Nicolas Roeg's labyrinthine film is rich in dreamlike atmosphere and works on a purely psychological level: It disorients, frustrates and builds to a horrible climax, reminding that tragedy can never be forgotten ... and neither can this film.
6. "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1974)
A group of annoying teens make a wrong turn on a road trip through Texas and encounter the most dysfunctional family imaginable. It's a teen exploitation flick shot like a documentary. Wonderfully grim, mean and inhumane, director Tobe Hooper's debut doesn't spill much blood, instead opting to giddily, relentlessly torture and chase its audience (much like Leatherface treats his victims) for 80 minutes. It feels like days.
5. "Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984)
Before dream-killer Freddy Krueger became a quipping pop-culture reference, he represented the most twisted monster unleashed on the public since Halloween's Michael Myers. Seeking vengeance by slicing and dicing the children of the parents who murdered him, Freddy scared the hell out of Cineplex audiences. His on-screen entrance remains terrifying, as does much of director Wes Craven's surreal, smart and shocking masterpiece.
4. "Suspiria" (1977)
"Suspiria" is a full-on sensory assault by Italian horror master Dario Argento, the cinematic equivalent of an anxiety attack. A poor American ballet student arrives in Europe and Argento berates her with weather, grisly murders, a possible coven of witches, his virtuosic camera, and possible the freakiest score ever conceived (by the director himself). The plot barely makes sense, so just let it terrorize you.
3. "Night of the Living Dead" (1968)
A group of kids get trapped inside a farm house by an endless stream of flesh-eating zombies. Sounds silly, but director George Romero takes his simple premise and redefines the genre with a shoestring budget. The amount of sadistic gore, the claustrophobic tension, the rising levels of hysteria and an increasingly deflated awareness that a happy ending is impossible make this a nasty classic. There is no hope here, only suffocating terror.
2. Repulsion (1965)
Director Roman Polanski did more horror afterward, with "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Tenant," but this -- a menacing, nightmarish profile of one woman's descent into madness -- may be his most realized effort. Catherine Denueve embodies sexual repression as a young woman left alone in her apartment -- and to her deluded fantasies -- for the weekend. The film is nearly silent, creating a mounting mood of dread. Try watching it alone with the lights off and see how long you last.
1. "Psycho" (1960)
Alfred Hitchcock's blueprint for contemporary horror: More than just a film, "Psycho" was a cultural slap in the face. Censors wanted to ban it, while screaming audiences couldn't get enough of it. Hitch employs all of his tricks -- shifting audience sympathies, killing off the main character halfway through the film and a ton of macabre humor -- but more importantly he makes the horror internal. Norman Bates isn't a monster in the classic sense; he suggests that the greatest evil can lurk beneath the quietest, most pleasant surface.

Tom Cruise Style - Guitar Hero’s Rocking Commercial
Rock on
I was really filled with laughter after watching this video that I’ve seen from YouTube. This is really cool and awesome. Everyone should see this!
By the way, this is a new ad featuring Kobe Bryant, Alex Rodriguez, Michael Phelps and Tony Hawk. These athletic guys are totally hilarious while rockin' out in a Tom Cruise style.
In case you’re not familiar with this stuff, the athletes actually reenact the Tom Cruise’s classic Risky Business dance scene. The scene where they parade around a button-down shirt and white socks, that’s the exact scene they portray. This cool commercial is for the Guitar Hero World Tour edition.
Let’s watch it again and laugh with me…

So their journey of re-discovering their roots started and they found out the big differences between their concrete jungle and the world there in Africa. After experiencing how life in Africa, will they find life in Africa much better than their Central Park home?

Distinctive Halloween Costumes (worn by a Movie Character)
Want to wear the “best costume of the night” on a party that you are about to attend this coming Halloween?
Well, you no longer have to provide so much effort just to belong on the much awaited trick or treat event! Here are some of the great ideas I’ve found from an interesting post in yahoo.
You won’t just be part of an exciting Halloween crowd but you can also fulfill your dream of becoming your favorite movie actor or actress even just for a night! These are simple yet stunning costume ideas that everyone will surely admire.
Here, try to pick one that you think best suits you:
Gals:
>> Audrey Hepburn From Breakfast At Tiffanys - No one could resist Audrey's infectious charms as the adorable Holly Golightly in this classic film. All it takes is a black knee-length sheath dress, black oversized sunglasses, a set of pearls, kitten heels, and a long cigarette holder, darlings. And don't forget the very chic updo with tiara. Voila!
>> Elizabeth Taylor From Cat On A Hot Tin Roof - If you've never seen this steamy Southern classic, rent it! Summon your inner sultry goddess with inspiration from La Liz herself. To transform into Maggie, step into a white satiny slip dress (if it's too see-through wear flesh-colored undergarments), don a black feminine wig or retro hairstyle, and paint your lips oh-so-ruby-red. Look out world!
>> Angelina Jolie From Tombraider - Calling Lara Croft! She's one tough cookie, and this seductive ensemble requires a black fitted tank top and black fitted shorts or leggings, a thick leather belt you can find at the army surplus store, and a holster. If you have long hair, pull it back in a braided ponytail. If not you can easily recreate the look with a long-hair wig. Look out!
>> Beyonce From Dreamgirls - The up-to-there hair, the curve-hugging gown, the gloves, and the sassy attitude. Who wouldn't fall for her?! Go glam to the hilt as Deena Jones, the Motown marvel -- no singing required.
>> Sarah Jessica Parker From Sex & The City - You'll be the toast of the town as Carrie Bradshaw, the glamour girl of the decade. Slip on your sexiest stilettos and finest couture knock-offs. Search online for some of Carrie's quintessential looks for inspiration. Or put your own spin on the outfit she wore in the opening of the television series -- a vintage white petticoat, pink tank top and long pearls... Go, girl!
Guys:
>> Daniel Craig as James Bond - He's the sexiest 007 we've seen in a while. A tuxedo, a snazzy men's watch, a sleek cell phone, and oh yeah, a chilled martini in hand will do the trick.
>> Humphrey Bogart From Casablanca - It's Bogie, need we say more? A trench coat and fedora hat, and we'll call you Rick Blaine.
>> Yul Brynner From The Magnificent Seven - Yul was Cool. And never more so than as Chris Adams in this classic western. Get yourself some cowboy gear from a local vintage store or try Goodwill for great deals. Go all black, from hat to boots. And don a dose of fierce attitude.
>> Willy Wonka - No girl can resist a little sugar. Put on some thin black pants, a black tuxedo shirt and top hat, and finish it off with a long purple overcoat. A cane and generous bowl of candy are irresistible finishing touches.
>> Val Kilmer From The Doors - Jim Morrison was one seductive rocker. Black leather pants and a black button-down undone to the navel, along with a studded leather belt, and you'll be surrounded by more than a few screaming fans.

Tobey Maguire Returns in Spider-Man 4 and 5 Movies
Good news fans! Tobey Maguire will again be playing the big role to the next sequel of ever famous Spider-Man. A lot of people have been eavesdropping to the latest news and gossip about this much awaited movie series. Finally, Sam Raimi and the very own Spider-Man - Tobey Maguire, puts an end to the issue by signing on to the fourth and fifth filming of Spider-Man.
The only thing they are waiting for confirmation now is if Kirsten Dunst will still play as Mary Jane Watson. However, they were confident for this matter especially that Kirsten has made recent statement that she still wants to continue with the series. Only her, signing the contract can give Raimi 100% assurance to direct it and possibly start the production by March of 2010. Raimi stating that, "I hope she'll be written into it. I couldn't imagine making one without her, and I think she's an important part of the movies" also believes that with Tobey and Kirsten to continue doing the movie, a great production is surely yet to happen.
It has also been undecided yet whether or not Spider-Man 4 and 5 will be shot back-to-back similarly with the movie “Lord of The Rings”. But Raimi emphasizes that surely, the next two movies of Spider-Man will be connected. It’s just that he was being a little apprehensive to shoot two blockbuster movies loaded with special-effects at the same time, after admitting that Spider-Man 3 was a bit exhausting.
Whichever of these plans will happen, I’m just glad to know there’s another best-selling movie that will soon hit the industry!

Johnny Depp to be the Next Joker?
A lot of rumors have been heard that this versatile actor, Johnny Depp, is about to do another eccentric role. Gossips were running around telling JD will be playing as the new Joker in the sequel for the Dark Night.
This famous Batman series is now the talk of the town considering that the joker didn't die in the last Batman movie. This leaves one big question especially that the brilliant acting of the late Heath Ledger will no longer be continued and needs to find an alternative that will match his talent.
The big question is – “Who will play as Joker to the next Batman movie?”. And a lot of people are guessing that Johnny Depp would be the next. Maybe this is due to the fact that Depp can adapt any kind of role and can certainly deliver an audience. His superb acting and the great facial expressions can probably portray the role, so effectively.
But some dudes wouldn’t want to see him acting like one. They believe that his deep acting capabilities won’t fit the character. For such a sadistic and twisted actor as him, they don’t see Johnny as the Joker at all. Some even say James Franco when in long hair looks a lot similar to Heath, so why not him?
Maybe I would just say… why so serious, guys?! Let’s just wait and see… as the famous quote says, “Let’s just cross the bridge when we get there.” Need I say more?
