Look at the difference between the "Maleficent" trailer and the "Snow White and the Huntsman" trailer.
You can tell "Maleficent" is going to be a series of nice visuals, meanwhile "Snow White and the Huntsman" gives you well-written dialogue. I feel like everything Maleficent will say in the movie will be uninspired and redundant: "There is evil in this world." OK. Got it. We haven't heard that line before. And yet, Ravenna gives us:
"Do you hear that? It's the sound of battles fought. And lives lost. It once pained me to know that I am the cause of such despair. But now, their cries give me strength. Beauty... is my power."
What a well-written, piercing speech from Charlize Theron as Ravenna. I don't think Angelina Jolie as Maleficent will give us anything close to great dialogue, but at least the film will look great. But then again, the majority of Angelina Jolie's films are sustained only by her beautiful face to begin with, and not by her talent or a good story, so "Maleficent" should be no different.

Among the songs performed on the show that are aiming for 100% or more increases this week: P!nk's "Just Give Me a Reason," John Legend's "All Of Me," Musgraves' "Follow Your Arrow" (up by more than 200%) and Taylor Swift's "All Too Well" (which may grow by more than 3,000% to around 18,000 downloads).
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Same Love," featuring Mary Lambert -- which was the centerpiece of an elaborate mass wedding ceremony during the show -- may grow by more than 100% as well. It might have sold around 25,000 for the week ending January 26 -- up from 11,000 a week ago.
