When I was writing my “Inception” movie review few days ago, I already knew that this blockbuster movie will be this weekend’s US Box Office number one. There is no doubt about it, for me Inception is the movie-to-beat this year. I just don’t know how “Expendables” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” will fare.
“Despicable Me” emerges on top of other blockbuster movies on last weekend’s US Box Office. This movie which includes the voice of Steve Carell as Gru, got an initial weekend gross of $60,117,000 and it almost doubled the $33,400,000 of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” which trailed at number two.
Fans have made their decision! With $64,832,191 initial gross, “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse dominated last weekend’s US Box Office. Not so far is “The Last Airbender” which is another must-see movie. Trailing behind the two blockbuster movies is “Toy Story 3” which owned the top spot for two consecutive weeks.
Few weeks ago, Blackbeard ship photos were released. Now, it is time to have a glimpse on Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow on the set of “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.” On first look, I can say that there are no evident changes on the costume of Sparrow but once we see the official movie photos, we may see some disparity.
In this action-packed tale of truth, betrayal, youth and demise, Captain Jack Sparrow crosses paths with a woman from his past (Penelope Cruz), and he’s not sure if it’s love-or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth.
When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne’s Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.”
“Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” stars Ian McShane as Blackbeard, Penelope Cruz as Blackbeard’s daughter, Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbosa, Kevin R. McNally as Captain Jack’s longtime comrade Joshamee Gibbs, Stephen Graham, Astrid Berges-Frisbey as a mysterious mermaid, Max Irons and Gemma Ward. The flick comes to theaters May 20, 2011.
After the Blackbeard’s ship and Jack Sparrow’s photos, all I want to see next is Penelope Cruz’.

In my opinion, there is no shocking factor in this weekend’s US Box Office ranking. “Toy Story 3” on top for the two consecutive weeks is already given, I never doubted that scenario. But with the entry of “The Last Airbender” and “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” this week, I think the ranking next weekend will surely be in chaos!
While waiting for the trailer of the “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1”, here are some photos from the most awaited seventh installment of the Harry Potter franchise. Enjoy!

“Toy Story 3” is simply astonishing! This animated film have shown us how to deliver quality entertainment at its best. It is a movie with a heart and I’m sure most, if not all, of us felt that when they all bid farewell.
