 Weird Sandra in 'All About Steve'

Here's some facts you may not know about 'The Proposal'.

- Before “The Proposal,” it had been five years since Rockport’s rugged coastline and quaint downtown shops served as a backdrop for a major Hollywood production. The last film shot in Rockport before “The Proposal” — 2003’s “Stuck on You” starring Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear — from 20th Century Fox, gave $5,000 to Rockport, which selectmen used to renovate Boy Scout Hall.

- Since “The Proposal,” two other movies have been filmed in Rockport. Mel Gibson’s “Edge of Darkness” due out in theaters on Jan. 29 2010 (today) and “Hatteras Hotel” — a murder mystery shot for the most part at Rockport’s Emerson-Inn-by-the-Sea. That film’s title has now been changed to “The Last Harbor.”

-  Julia Roberts was reportedly the first choice to play Bullock’s character in “The Proposal.” According to the Los Angeles Times, Roberts refused to star in “The Proposal” unless Disney offered her a higher salary; Disney hired Bullock for even less money than it had offered Roberts, and “The Proposal” became one of the highest-grossing romantic comedies ever.

Since I'm still on movies, why not let me share with you the top ten films in USA and the world.

By Alex Dobuzinskis (edited by Qalix)

Sandra Bullock, nicknamed as 'America's Sweetheart' shined as 2009's top Hollywood star at the box office after two-year absence from screens. This is based on top money making stars. Bullock beat out George Clooney and Denzel Washington on the strength of her roles in "The Proposal" and "The Blind Side". Romantic comedy "The Proposal" made $315 million at worldwide box offices following its June release and football drama "The Blind Side" has made $193 million ONLY in the US and Canada since its Nov 20 release, with its roll-out in other countries still to come. Bullock who also starred in the 2009 comedy "All About Steve" with its $34 million take in the US and Canada. 

Quigley's list of top money making stars;

1. Sandra Bullock

2. Johnny Depp

3. Matt Damon

4. George Clooney

5. Robert Downey Jr

6. Tom Hanks

7. Meryl Steep

8. Brad Pitt

9. Shia LeBeouf

10. Denzel Washington

Sandra Bullock is the eight woman to clinch the top spot in Quigley's.

I say :

Well it is obvious that 2009 had been a year for Bullock and will continue the momentum in 2010 as Bullock's "The Blind Side" is yet to be released worldwide. I'm happy for her. I love her since Miss Congeniality. Then came Miss Congeniality 2 a couple of years later and now I'm waiting for the Miss Congeniality 3, if there's any. She also starred in "The Lake House". Not only she starred in these movies but she is also one of the people behind it, excetuvie producer. Similarly like "The Proposal", "The Blind Side" and "All About Steve" were all her works. I'm glad that she's back. Hope to see more of her in the future.

My other favourite actresses;

Anne Hathaway - Will see her in Valentine's Day, February 2010.

Lisa Kudrow - Just received a webby award for her role in 'Web Theraphy' where she also the executive producer.

Reese Witherspoon - No idea where she is up to now.

Sex and The City 2 will be out some time this year after a successful first movie in 2008. I wonder when F.R.I.E.N.D.S will be brought to the screen. There's rumours about it but I don't know! We just wait and see in 2011, the same year when the next Spiderman movie will be released. Hopefully my next post, if time permit, I will share my top 10 movies and songs of 2009.

Both sides are equally green.

First 2010's entry :) 

Did you realise that the last three public holidays (Aidil Adha, Hijrah and Christmas) were all on Fridays? Even today, New Year falls on a Friday? If you didn't realise that, then maybe it's time for you to be aware of that. Speaking of Hijrah and New Year, I can see people have different views between both. Just take a look at your FB homepage. Some say 'What's with all the hype of New Year 2010, during Hijrah was not as hot as this?' I have to agree with that, there were pictures where I was tagged wishing happy 2010 but I didn't see people came up with that sort of pictures-tagging during the New Islamic Year.

Well, who's to blame? I just think that 1) some Muslims are being ignorance of the New Hijrah Year and I also think 2) some people are too ego to 'celebrate' or even say Happy 2010. 

The ego people are annoyed about how happening it is during this New Year 2010 celebration when compared to Hijrah. I can understand that but don't you think that the masihi year deserve a little appreciation from these ego sort of people? Afterall, you are using it everyday like your birthday, anniversary, father's day, mother's day, HIV day and any other ocassions such as our National Day is using the greek year too, we  have never celebrated our National Day using Hijrah date (only used as a 'coressponse to'). See.. I don't see anything wrong. Think of it just as a universal year. I may not be you know an 'alim-ulama' but this is my opinion because I'm the kind of guy who sees things and share with others. Little do they know that these people who say they don't wish or celebrate new year are actually celebrating it without realising it. As part of the New Year's celebration, most stores have this 'Year End Sale' as to celebrate the closing  year and ushering of the New Year. So technically, the money they have spent during the Sales are actually the celebration of the New Year. Bowh~

On the ignorance part - It's true! Some Muslims don't even know what Hijrah year we are in. Oh btw, it's 1431H. Some might think that this is sad, only few of the Muslims actually updated their status wishing the 1431H when compared to the hype world wide 2010 celebration. I don't think that is the sad thing to be sad about. It's the number of people who actually showed up at mosques or suraus during the Maal Hijrah. You can't just be someone who is against this non-islamic events and at the same time you don't do your part as a  true Muslim. Status doesn't mean a thing. You can type whatever you want, you can annoy people by updating your status every five minutes and so on. It's one's role that actually can make a difference.

Don't think that the grass on the other side is greener. Think that the grass on BOTH sides are always green. *Terms and conditions apply :P That's why I am always aware when new Hijrah year comes and at the same time just a minimal fun when celebrating New Year. It's still not too late to wish you all Selamat Menyambut Maal Hijrah and bagilah salam, Assalamualikum and kata-kata Bismilah when entering 2010. 

Assalamualaikum and Bismillah 2010, may we all live as one.
