YES! She was great in that, and I also remember her in Speak.

From Twilight, the only one worth it is Anna Kendrick.

This was clearly before her stoner days, as now she's got not emotion left.... and is painfully bad in everything she does.
Taylor Launter will only have a promising career if he invests in a thing called acting lessons. I'm sure he can afford them... 
Also, anyone know if Disney plans on extending the Lion Kings run in theatres?

'Lion King' Shoots to List of Top 10 Grossing Films of All-Time Domestically
The 3D re-release of Disney’s The Lion King has propelled the classic animated tune to No. 10 on the elite roster of all-time top grossing films at the domestic box office.
Lion King ended Sunday with a total domestic cume of $408.2 million, besting the $403.7 million earned by Sony's Spider Man and the $402.1 million earned by Paramount's sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
The re-release of Lion King itself has earned $79.7 million, beating all expectations. Overseas, where it is still rolling out, it has grossed $19 million for a worldwide total of $98.7 million.
"The Lion King is a timeless classic whose characters and story are as beloved today as ever. Breaking into the top 10 is a testament that quality entertainment for people of all ages is a cornerstone to achieving such incredible success," Disney executive vice president of distribution Dave Hollis said.
In North America, Lion King came in No. 3 over the weekend after placing No. 1 the previous two weekends in one of the biggest box office upsets in recent memory. More than 90 percent of the grosses have come from 3D locations (the film is being offered on conventional screens as well).
Lion King is one of only three animated films on the all-time top 10 list after Shrek 2 ($441.2 million) and Toy Story 3 ($415 million).
Lion King has a strong shot at even eclipsing Toy Story 3, although the Diamond Blu-Ray edition of the film will be released on Oct. 4. Rival studios have questioned whether Lion King will stay in theaters once the Blu-Ray is released, but all indications are that exhibitors will keep playing the toon.
No. 1 on the domestic list of top-grossing films is Avatar ($760.5 million), followed by Titanic ($600.8 million), The Dark Knight ($533.3 million), Star Wars ($461 million), Shrek 2, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial ($435.1 million), Star Wars: Episode I--The Phantom Menace ($431.1 million), Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest ($423.3 million), Toy Story 3 and The Lion King.

I honestly didn't think it would happen, but Transformers: Dark of the Moon passed The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King today, knocking it down to #5 on the all time worldwide box office ranking. How do we feel about this, ATRL?

Some pretty solid numbers this week. The coming weeks should be interesting, there should be a few big released before the end of the year.

Wow @ Puss In Boots. This says it actually did 33M. http://boxofficeguru.com/weekend20.htm
I know it lost a lot of business last week due to bad weather + Halloween preoccupation, but still, to go from 34M to 33M is just ridiculous.

I wonder which movie is going to make more money in 2012 between Avengers and Dark Knight Rises?!
