People can be so zealous about movies sometimes and be in dire need of box office updates. If you are one of them, movie sites may help you know the latest movies leading in the box office and some of the movies that are about to make it on the list. In a way, it is helpful to know what movies are leading so you’ll know what movies are worth seeing. One of the sites I visit is movies.com and from there I get the latest scoop on the movies included on the top 12 list and some of the movies that are yet to make it on top.

My Own Box Office Leaders

I am a movie fan myself and whenever I get the opportunity I watch movies with friends and together we criticize them. In my 22 years, I have liked and loved movies, both locally and internationally and I would just like to share them with you.
1. Cutting Edge this is my all time favorite. Ever since I was a kid I’ve adored ice skating and
watching this movie made me love it more.
2. Center Stage aside from ice skating, I’ve also loved ballet. This movie has inspired me a lot about
dancing and how one can be so persistent about pursuing her dreams.
3. Chronicles of Narnia
4. Harry Potter
5. Step-up 1

What Happens in Vegas?

This movie has Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher as its main cast. I don’t really have an idea about this movie but I heard that it is fun to watch. Besides, who wouldn’t like Cameron and Ashton, right? I believe they’re both great actors. I can’t forget Cameron in her performance in the movie There’s Something about Mary. She was really great there, really funny. Meanwhile I can’t forget Ashton’s naughtiness in MTV’s Punked. Both of them were great individually and to make them a tandem is great. Currently, What Happens in Vegas? is on the number three spot dropping from number 2 last week. It has a total gross of $40,308,000.

Go!

One of the movies that I would really like to see this year but failed to do so is Speed Racer. Actually, the only reason I would like to see it is because it has in its cast my favorite Korean actor/singer Rain and I would really like to know how he did in this movie. Anyway, I believe Speed Racer has satisfied its fans because based from what I’ve heard from friends, it is a good movie, family oriented and is really nice. However, it is currently in fourth place in the Box Office having a total gross of $24,367,000.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

A sequel to the previous Narnia movie, Prince Caspian is set to show in June 4 here at our place. So basically, I haven’t seen this movie yet but I am excited to see it. I am a big fan of the first movie and I’m sure I will also be with this one. However, this movie was already shown in other countries and I’ve checked the net about its standing in the Box Office. It is not surprising that it placed number one for its first week having a total gross of $56,573,000. I’m not an expert with movie grosses but I think this is a lot for the first week. I’m sure everyone who watched it was satisfied and everyone who is waiting to see it will be too.

The Truth Is: I am IRON MAN

I was not really supposed to watch this movie but based from what I’ve heard from my brother during that time, it was a good one, as in a really good one and besides everybody else in the office talks about it. So my friends and I decided to hang out one time and watch this movie no matter how late we are to go home. We watched during the last full show because the previous times have either passed or are full already. So there we were watching Robert Downy Jr. with his amazing acting and SUPER HI-TECH gadgets. More than the hi-tech gadgets, what I really liked about the story is that unlike other superhero movies Iron Man does not have supernatural powers. He is just an ordinary man who became extraordinary because of the realization that he had. From being a selfish and self-centered person, he was transformed into a caring and selfless one. I believe that this movie has more things to offer than what the eyes can see. It is really worth seeing and really worth its place in the box office hits. As of now, its total gross is $222,485,000. Wow!
