I watched this a month ago and was shocked at how different the movie was from the trailer.  It's a very good film on capitalism and life in general.  I think also its one of those films that has gained a bigger following as it has been released on DVD as the initially BO gross was close to 20 million.  I loved T2 when it came out but Fight Club has that extra something.  Edward Norton gives an excellent performance as noted.

Regarding Carter, most of her films (at least in the last 8 yrs) have been with Tim Burton, whom she has two children with, whose films can be somewhat polarizing.  I think, unfortunately, that she has been typecast as the dark, brooding, slightly disturbed female which restricts some of the roles she is offered.

Interesting review, Neemo.  I have their second album Morningrise and the death metal vocals are there as well.  Track #5 has all clean vocals.  I don't listen to it as much as I should because the songs all average around 10 minutes long including a 20 minute epic "Black Rose Immortal."  This album I think is a concept album and deals with a man whose wife is dying with cancer.

I think their later albums don't feature as much death metal growls as much as the earlier albums.

I have another one of their albums on mp3 and will check that out as well.

Does this mean that Wonka is the lower seeded Cinderella that knocks off the higher seeds and sticks around longer than expected?

I'm kinda interested in how long this movie can survive.

I really dig the Sorry artwork and the cover artwork but as others have mentioned:  it is not enough for me to plop down cash to purchase it.  They have to provide an incentive for people to buy this album.  Provide a couple of demo tracks/ live tracks, or bonus tracks, then people will be interested and might buy it otherwise it will go the way of the original--unsold and collecting dust.

I find it interesting that the Dark Knight made as much considering that it was 2 and a half hours long, even if you factor in inflation that is a very impressive.  I think it had good word of mouth and Batman Begins was a good film which led to anticipation for the sequel.  However, I do think that it does have a story that appeals to the masses that everyone can relate to and understand that isn't very complicated.  It appealed to every segment of the population.  I've only seen it once in the theater and enjoyed it, eventually I'll pick it up on BR.

It was definitely helped by the foreign gross.  It made the least of the three films domestically.  Unfortunately, there is going to be a fourth installment.

I'm down for this.
