‘Zombieland’ Grabs Box Office Top Spot

Written by Violet on October 4, 2009 – 9:45 pm -

Jesse Eisenberg may be uncomfortable watching himself on screen, but lots of other people aren’t. His latest movie Zombieland, costarring Woody Harrelson and Abigail Breslin, just took the weekend box office number one spot bringing in $25 million on opening weekend. Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs came in second (again!) and the double shot of Pixar Toy Story & Toy Story 2 took third in 3-D. Ellen Page’s latest – the roller derby coming-of-age Whip It! was a disappointing seventh place.

1. Zombieland

2. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

What did you see this weekend?

Danielle Panabaker Joins ‘The Ward’

Written by Violet on June 18, 2009 – 5:01 pm -

 

Movie master John Carpenter has added Danielle Panabaker to his cast for the latest thriller ‘The Ward.’  The actress joins Amanda Heard from ‘Pineapple Express’ as part of the horror, psychological mind bender film that Carpenter is known for.

The story follows a girl (Heard) who is admitted to a psychiatric ward, meets other girls there with distinct personalities and discovers a mysterious girl haunting the halls at night.

Panabaker plays a patient in the institution, a snobbish girl who flirts with orderlies and faces electroshock therapy.

Panabaker has had roles in television’s ‘Shark’ and ‘Eli Stone’ and has been in the movies ‘Yours, Mine and Ours’  and ‘Mr. Brooks.’
