Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen did quite well at the box office


Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen had an estimated take of $16 million from a 3,000 screen midnight run last night reports Variety.

That number is second only to The Dark Knight last Summer which took in $18.5 million from Thursday midnight runs last July. "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" previously held the record for a Tuesday midnight run opening with $12 million in 2007.

By this Sunday, 'Fallen' is expected to have a first five-day haul not far off from the $203 million take that 'Knight' scored last Summer.

Reviews have been pretty bad all over

Rotten Tomatoes : The first film had a 57% approval rating and 5.8/10 average score. 'Fallen' however sits at 20% and 3.9/10.

Metacritic: The original scored 61/100, whereas 'Fallen' sits at 40/100.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - Trailer


The third trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simpering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

Warwick Davis would love to be Dr Who

The excellent chap, Dave Bentley, over at The Coventry Telegraph Geek Files has news on another actor who would love to be considered for the next regeneration of the one true Time Lord. That's right Willow, Wicket, The Leprechaun, the one and only Warwick Davis. Here's what Dave has to say.

ACTOR Warwick Davis said he'd love to be the new Doctor Who and have his own special TARDIS.

The 38-year-old star, who plays Professor Filius Flitwick in the Harry Potter films, was among sci-fi celebrities at The Memorabilia Show at the NEC, Birmingham, this past weekend.

He said: "I want to be in Doctor Who. I would kill to replace David Tennant and become the next Time Lord.

"I had a great idea: Doctor Who is going to change, regenerate, but something goes a bit wrong. For just a couple of episodes it would be me as the Doctor, they go in the Tardis and inside it's not vast, it's tiny and they all bang their heads!"

Davis played the lead in Willow and in the Leprechaun film series, Reepicheep in the TV versions of the Narnia books and was the dwarf Nikabrik in this year's The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.

I do like Warwick's idea of being the Doctor for an episode or two. He's a great actor and it would put a nice spin on things. Head on over to read the rest of the article and Warwick's memories of playing Wicket in Return of the Jedi.
