Hitting the Big Screen Today!

Will Smith's last seven films have all made a debut at #1 on the box office, and he hopes to keep that momentum going with his new movie Seven Pounds. Smith plays the role of an IRS agent with a fateful secret who embarks on an extraordinary journey of redemption by forever changing the lives of seven strangers. Sounds interesting, but if you're not into drama films or want to take the younger ones to the movies this weekend, then the perfect choice will be the cartoon The Tale of Desperaux featuring the voices of Matthew Broderick and Emma Watson. The film is a modern fairy tale of several unlikely heroes: Despereaux, a brave mouse banished to the dungeon for speaking with a human; Roscuro, a good-hearted rat who loves light and soup, but is exiled to darkness; Pea, a princess in a gloomy castle who is prisoner to her father's grief; and Mig, a servant girl who longs to be a princess, but is forced to serve the jailer. Sounds like a nice film. It's going to be a close race for #1! Let's see who pulls out on top.
