"Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince Movie" - In "Harry Potter 6," yes, it's the sixth in the series of eight "Harry Potter Movies," (the seventh and final "Harry Potter" book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Halllows" will be divided into two movies), war against Voldemort is not going well; even Muggle governments are noticing. Ron scans the obituary pages of the Daily Prophet, looking for familiar names. Dumbledore is absent from Hogwarts for long stretches of time, and the Order of the Phoenix has already suffered losses. And yet...

As in all wars, life goes on. In "Harry Potter 6," the sixth year students learn to Apparate - and lose a few eyebrows in the process. The Weasley twins expand their business. Teenagers flirt and fight and fall in love. Classes are never straightforward, though Harry receives some extraordinary help from the mysterious Half-Blood Prince. So it's the home front that takes center stage in the multilayered sixth installment of the story of Harry Potter. Here at Hogwarts, Harry will search for the full and complex story of the boy who became Lord Voldemort - and thereby find what may be his only vulnerability.

* "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Movie" has had its release date pushed back three seasons - to Summer 2009. Originally scheduled for a November 2008 release, "Harry Potter 6" is currently set to open, worldwide, July 17, 2009.

Dance Flick

Since I have dancer daughters and also sometimes review lousy dancing DVD’s like Step Up 2 the Streets, I can see how dance movies are ripe for the spoofing. Girl (or boy) from the right side of the streets meets boy (or girl) from the wrong side in order to mesh the two styles into something that blows everyone’s mind. Word up. Up jump the boogy from the rhythm of the boogity beat.

While this is a subject that is easy to make fun of, it doesn’t mean a spoof will be, you know, good. The Wayans Brothers (or at least six of them) have made Dance Flick and the folks at IGN have the trailer. We’ve also placed it below. It actually looks funny but I’m sure the trailer has all the funny parts of the movie, and it’s free! So enjoy and skip the actual film when it comes

With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?"

Release Date: 2008-11-21

Directed by Catherine Hardwicke
Produced by Greg Mooradian, Mark Morgan, Karen Rosenfelt
Written by Melissa Rosenberg

Twilight is an action-packed, modern day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met.

Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands – and he hasn’t aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he’s immortal. But he doesn’t have fangs, and he doesn’t drink human blood; Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for – a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), the Cullens’ mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her?
