Will Smith’s new horror zombie/ vampire movie, I am Legend - where’s he’s the last man on earth - hit a record $76.5 million in box office take, beating out the old December opening record by Lord of the Rings in 2003.This is Smith’s seventh straight hit movie. Despite all this, Smith was recently declared one of the most overpaid actors - with Nicole Kidman at the top of the list.

The Sweeney Todd movie, starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, is based on an older Stephen Sondheim opera/ play about a barber, Benjamin Barker, who returns to London after false imprisonment in Australia. Informed that the judge who sent him away took advantage of his wife, who then poisoned herself, Barker, decides to get even by shaving those responsible and then slitting their throats. (Sacha Baron Cohen also appears as a rival barber, and later as part of a meat pie.)

The movie is directed by the fun-horror master himself, Tim Burton, who convinced Depp to try singing - an important part of the role. Depp was very reluctant about his abilities at first - even scared - but his voice turned out to be not too bad. Not opera performance, but not bad.

Here’s the latest in The Dark Knight poster series, showing Heath Ledger’s Joker portrayal.
