It would be unfair to dismiss the movie as an exploitive sex show, because it doesn't merely feature sex in the background. Sex is actually a supporting character in the piece. <p>In Choke, the gifted Sam Rockwell plays Victor, a sex addict who also gets his rocks off by going to various restaurants and intentionally choking on food. Why would he commit such a seemingly nonsensical act? In hope that he might bond with any of the patrons who come to his rescue.</p> <p>Based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club), Choke has many layers. It's much more than a tawdry sex show. This is a complex exploration into one man's sick affliction and while a good portion of the picture is played for laughs, the film doesn't shy away from going into some pretty heavy directions.</p> <p>Rockwell is terrific here. Like Nicolas Cage, he has the uncanny ability to bring quirky characters to life. Equally effective is Kelly Macdonald –last seen as Llewelyn's main squeeze in No Country For Old Men – as the twinkle in Victor's eye. The two prove to have picture perfect chemistry, and it's fun seeing Victor's behavior in her presence. Why Rockwell isn't an A-list star is beyond me. He's the real deal.</p> <p>Actor Clark Gregg--who you may recognize from TVs The New Adventures of Old Christine-- makes an auspicious directorial debut with material many thought un-filmable.</p> <p>Choke is both raunchy and narcissistic, but it's also well acted, intelligent, and surprisingly dramatic. Certainly this isn't a movie for everyone, but for me, it hit all the right notes.</p></em></span>nickybeithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07906868049802837701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044018173999855420.post-32837710098652467282008-10-14T22:37:00.000-07:002008-10-14T22:39:49.100-07:00City of Ember:Review<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/images/logos/reviews/11798_1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/images/logos/reviews/11798_1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Fox Walden's film of Jeanne Duprau's children's book "City of Ember" stalls at the intersection of fantasy and science fiction. While the story line harkens back to "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Oz," where young people must navigate a weird and perplexing other world, the film is actually set in a dystopian underground that is strictly the realm of sci-fi. And that genre requires that any weird other-world must have a coherent logic and social structure. While director Gil Kenan and writer Caroline Thompson's work leans heavily toward children's fantasy, their film leaves gaping science-fiction holes.<br /><br />Since the film should please its intended audience, "City of Ember" might enjoy a modest success with young people during its theatrical run followed by greater success in home entertainment.<br /><br />The story begins at the end -- of the world, we are told. But the crucial question of what caused the end of the world is never mentioned. The remaining rulers of society -- all middle-aged, English-speaking Westerners -- send what is left of humanity to an underground city built to last two centuries, after which it will apparently be safe to come up for air. A single box, set to open in 200 years, will explain everything to survivors including how to escape from this City of Ember.<br />Where to begin with this cockamamie tale? Are we supposed to believe that the old world above ground was permanently erased from everyone's memory? No great-grandmothers' tales of life in the fresh air? Or that survivors have subsisted on mostly can food for 200 years? Or that everyone blindly obeys a succession of mayors, the latest one played by Bill Murray as if he doesn't believe it either?<br /><br />It falls to two recent high school grads, Doon (Harry Treadaway) and Lina (Saoirse Ronan), to question and challenge the underworld order. Doon realizes the generator powering everything is falling to bits. A Mr. Fix-It like his dad (Tim Robbins), he longs to get his hands on the machinery, but society demands that he perform instead a job assigned to him by lottery.<br /><br />Lina's ancestor, a previous mayor, died before he could pass on the crucial tell-all box. Now she discovers it and starts to plumb its secrets, including badly crumbling instructions on how to escape Ember.<br /><br />The city set, constructed in a ship-building hangar in Northern Ireland, resembles a corner of Dickensian London in permanent twilight. Communication devices no longer exist, so messengers like Lina tear around the streets. People's clothes look like they belong to a community theater production of "Rent." Oh, and bugs and rodents have grown very large to ensure of couple of PG-rated scares.<br /><br />In truth, despite the nervous enthusiasm of Andrew Lockington's insatiable score, there is little here to quicken the pulse. The villains seem almost harmless -- despite the efforts of Toby Jones as the Mayor's henchman and Mackenzie Crook as a petty thief -- while the blackouts, bursting pipes and the escape from Ember a foregone conclusion.<br /><br />Treadaway and Oscar nominee Ronan ("Atonement") bring plenty of verve and intelligence to their underwritten parts, while their elders overact terribly. And what is Martin Landau doing in the role of a narcoleptic pipeworks boss? He literally sleeps through the movie. Adult moviegoers may envy him.<br /><br />Production companies: Playtone, Walden Media.<br />Cast: Saoirse Ronan, Harry Treadaway, Bill Murray, Tim Robbins, Matin Landau, Toby Jones, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Mary Kay Place.<br />Director: Gil Kenan.<br />Screenwriter: Caroline Thompson.<br />Based on the novel by: Jeanne Duprau.<br />Producers: Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman, Steven Shareshian.<br />Director of photography: Xavier Perez Grobet.<br />Production designer: Martin Laing.<br />Music: Andrew Lockington.<br />Costume designer: Ruth Myers.<br />Editor: Adam P.

No, scratch that. It requires A LOT OF SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF!</p> <p>In Eagle Eye, Shia LaBeouf plays Jerry Shaw, an underachiever who can't seem to get out from under his more accomplished twin brother's shadow. One day, while making his way home after an emotionally grueling morning, he receives a strange phone call from a woman who ultimately plunges his life into complete and utter chaos. Faster than you can say "North By Northwest," Jerry finds himself on the run from government officials who are convinced he's involved in terrorist activities.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <img src="http://www.thehollywoodnews.com/artman2/uploads/1/eagle-eye_1.jpg" alt="" align="" border="0" /><br /> </p> <p>War Games isn't the only film that Eagle Eye borrows from. As this over wrought but fast-paced thriller blazes from one ridiculous moment to the next, one might be reminded of Enemy of the State, The Game, and The Fugitive – watch as co-star Billy Bob Thornton attempts, unsuccessfully I might add, his best Tommy Lee Jones impression. The first half of the picture provides a terrific set up and from the get go, an effective Shia LaBeouf plays a character worth caring about. Equally effective is the fashion in which director D.J, Caruso–who collaborated with LaBeouf for last year's Disturbia-- introduces Michelle Monaghan's vulnerable single mom, Rachel Holloman. It's obvious that Jerry and Rachel will at some point cross paths and that they will bond in some shape or fashion, but both performers are convincing enough to keep at least the character work in the picture somewhat sensible. That's what separates Caruso from the likes of Michael Bay. At the very least, there's an earnest attempt at genuine character development here.</p>nickybeithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07906868049802837701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044018173999855420.post-46139626654056156742008-09-01T07:06:00.000-07:002008-09-01T07:21:51.278-07:00Total protection for a system<p><strong><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/141792697/bitdefender_internetsecurity_2009_32b.rar">Bitdefender internet security 2009 build 32 bit</a></strong></p><p><strong><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/127485710/BIT_TS__32bit.rar">Bitdefender total sevurity 2008 build 32 bit</a></strong></p><p><strong>Download and enjoy.

She will stay for a few days. You know, in Europe it isn't like in the United States, where the patients go home after three days.

float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://photogallery.indiatimes.com/photo.cms?photoid=3103080" alt="" border="0" /></a>Hindi filmdom's most ambitious futuristic sci-fic - “Love Story 2050” - seems set to up the standards of special effects in the country, with a reported budget of Rs.500 million propping it.<br /><br />Transformation of Mumbai into a super-futuristic metropolis, modelled on Shanghai, robot, teddy bears and an energy-blasting fight scene are some of the visual treats awaiting viewers when the film by director Harry Bajewa goes on the marquees on July 4.<br /><br />Introducing Harman Baweja opposite star actor Priyanka Chopra, “Love Story 2050” is heavy on special effects and gizmos and may just be the impetus needed for filmmakers in India to invest in the country's own sprouting industry.<br /><br />Even as India is emerging as the destination of choice for Hollywood studios to outsource their animation and special effects jobs, domestic film studios have been treading cautiously and are only now warming up to pumping big monies into the digital sphere.<br /><br />Hindi filmmakers have for long shied away from investing huge sums on special effects and instead preferred to park most of the film's budget for remunerations of stars. As a result, though the country has the wherewithal that meets international standards, films churned in Bollywood suffer from tacky effects and graphics.<br /><br />In fact, the Oscar-winning special effects for “The Golden Compass”, the Hollywood blockbuster that took $370 million at the box office last Christmas, were put together in India.<br /><br />Increasingly, post-production movie work - everything from complex digital effects such as the talking armoured polar bears in “The Golden Compass”, one of which sported a fur coat with seven million individually rendered hairs, to basic colour grading, making sure shades stay consistent throughout a film - is steadily migrating from traditional centres such as Los Angles to low-cost locations on the sub-continent.<br /><br />Nasscom, the Indian IT industry lobby group, estimates that the global animation market will be worth about $80 billion by 2010, and is targeting it as a prime source of future outsourcing revenues as more film work is shifted to India from the US and Europe.<br /><br />Yet, Indian filmmakers form a very small portion of their clientele. The budget of “Love Story 2050” may sound high enough, but it is not.<br /><br />“It is impossible to match the kind of standards that our counterparts from the West have set. It all boils down to the budget at the end of the day and with the kind of resources we work with, even though we may hire the best team out there, you can't expect results on the same lines,” says a candid Harman.<br /><br />Nevertheless, the Indian filmmakers are hoping to ripe a good harvest from film merchandise and sale of rights to mobile and gaming companies to recover costs.<br /><br />“Love Story 2050” features a fully animatronic robot teddy bear which was created by Oscar winner John Cox, who also worked on “Babe” and “The Host”. It also features a female robot. Similarly, airborne fight sequences will lead to spin offs like video and mobile gaming.<br /><br />If India is to become more than just outsourcing sweatshops that sketched, painted and digitised ordered content, fully indigenous innovative breakthroughs are the need of the hour. And this can only happen if creative minds join hands with technical talents and create a fully Indian version of “Babe”.<br /><br />With the growth in the outsourcing model reaching a plateau, big players claiming ownership of their products is the need of the hour as this co-production yields multiple sources of revenue from merchandising to licensing.<br /><br />Kids lapped up Hrithik Roshan starrer "Krrish", which was loaded with special effects.<br /><br />All eyes are now set on “Love Story 2050". Come Friday and both the film as well as the digital worlds will be hoping for audiences to embrace “Love Story 2050”, its hero and its lovable teddy bear - Boo.nickybeithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07906868049802837701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044018173999855420.post-42239391562972381532008-06-29T11:06:00.000-07:002008-06-29T11:15:57.508-07:00Britney Spears and Kevin Federline Heading to Custody Trial<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.hollywood.com/cms/300x375/3479364.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://images.hollywood.com/cms/300x375/3479364.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Custody of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's two young sons will be settled in a trial in August, after an attempt to settle out of court failed on Thursday.<br /><br />The pair spent the day in talks with a mediator, but Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan has confirmed that no agreement could be reached.<br /><br />He tells E! News, "The mediation didn't result in an agreement that would avoid the trial set in August."<br /><br />But he insists there was no breakdown in communication between the former couple, adding, "The mood was comfortable, positive and it was a mood that was consistent with opening at least a great dialogue, which is necessary.<br /><br />"If the existing arrangement was acceptable to both parties... we wouldn't have to go to trial. But that didn't happen."<br /><br />The trial is due to begin on Aug. 25, and will result in a final custody ruling.<br /><br />Kaplan added that Federline is seeking sole physical and legal custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James. Federline was handed full custody of the boys after Spears was committed to a psychiatric facility to treat an alleged bipolar disorder following a standoff with police and childcare officials in January.<br /><br />Spears locked herself and her youngest son in the bedroom of her Hollywood home and initially refused to come out when a visitation period had ended.<br /><br />Earlier this week, Spears was granted an extension to her custody rights when a judge agreed she could spend one night a week with her sons.nickybeithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07906868049802837701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044018173999855420.post-83326353439850308512008-06-27T08:41:00.000-07:002008-06-27T09:08:04.980-07:00Watch movies online<h2 style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Click the image to watch the movie.</span></h2><br /><h2>Juno</h2><a onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMjQwNDk1MjA=/v.swf?referer=http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en'ie=UTF-8'q=free+online+movies'sa=N'start=50');" title="Click here to instantly play this video" rel="mediabox[480 320]" href="http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMjQwNDk1MjA=/v.swf"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ec/Junoposter2007.jpg" alt="" /> </a> <h2><br /></h2><h2>Over Her Dead Body</h2><a onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMjgyMTQxNTY=/v.swf?referer=http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en'ie=UTF-8'q=free+online+movies'sa=N'start=50');" title="Click here to instantly play this video" rel="mediabox[480 320]" href="http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMjgyMTQxNTY=/v.swf"> <p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f1/Overherdeadbodyeva.jpg" alt="" /></p> </a> <p> </p> <h2>The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift</h2> <p><a onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMTI4NjkzMjA=/v.swf?referer=http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en'ie=UTF-8'q=free+online+movies'sa=N'start=50');" title="Click here to instantly play this video" rel="mediabox[480 320]" href="http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMTI4NjkzMjA=/v.swf"> <p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/05/Thefastandthefurioustokyodrift_bigearlyposter.jpg" alt="" /></p></a></p><h2><br /></h2><h2>Transformers</h2> <p><a onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMTI4NjkzMjA=/v.swf?referer=http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en'ie=UTF-8'q=free+online+movies'sa=N'start=50');" title="Click here to instantly play this video" rel="mediabox[480 320]" href="http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMTI4NjkzMjA=/v.swf"> </a> </p><h2><a onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMjY2Mjc5MzI=/v.swf?referer=http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en'ie=UTF-8'q=free+online+movies'sa=N'start=50');" title="Click here to instantly play this video" rel="mediabox[ ]" href="http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMjY2Mjc5MzI=/v.swf" style="background-color: rgb(128, 128, 128);"> <p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/66/Transformers07.jpg/200px-Transformers07.jpg" alt="" /></p> </a> </h2>nickybeithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07906868049802837701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044018173999855420.post-37250245084474231712008-06-26T02:40:00.000-07:002008-06-26T02:52:22.055-07:00Reviews and rating- Mere Baap Pehle Aap<span style=";font-family:arial,verdana;font-size:85%;" ><p align="center"><span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;" ><strong><img alt="" src="http://www.bollywoodworld.ca/reviews/data/upimages/mere-baap-pehle-aap-poster.jpg" align="none" border="0" /></strong></span></p><br /></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cast:</span> Paresh Rawal, Akshaye Khanna, Shobana, Genelia d'Souza, Om Puri<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Director:</span> Priyadarshan<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rating:</span> 2/5<br /><br />At last a Priyadarshan comedy that warms the cockles of the heart even as it makes you cackle in glee.<br /><br />"Mere Baap Pehle Aap" is a deftly-scripted piece of quirky and cryptic concoction on role reversal. And if you take away all the humbug and fringe characters, at the core of this cool comedy is a father-son relationship where the father is often caught behaving like a truant child.<br /><br />Paresh Rawal's guilt-stricken expressions and Akshaye Khanna's finger-wagging exasperation are simply superb. Hats off to Manisha Korde's wildly witty words that colonize the characters' comic world.<br /><br />Breathe easy. There are no risqué or double-meaning jokes and no vulgar shots of women. Priyadarshan's film is clean and clever in parts and makes you forgive all the excesses of his recent films like "Bhool Bhulaiya" and "Malaamal Weekly" where the characters were constantly in a state of distress.<br /><br />In "Mere Baap..." we see some restraint and subtlety in the narration and the locales are exquisite and refreshing. Sabu Cyril's art work suggests an endearing link between our cultural heritage and the rituals of laughter. The Kerala sequences are adorably quaint.<br /><br />Throughout the story of a father and son finding marital bliss at about the same time, we are caught in spaces that are filled but not overbrimming. Like his earlier films, Priyadarshan's people this time go from laughter to a social message with a virile fluency.<br /><br />Does a middle-aged man have the right to seek a companion when he has a child of marriageable age?<br /><br />Paresh is at the receiving end of social taboos. After wasting himself in not-so-good comedies in recent times, Paresh comes into his own here as the surly, child-like dad who keeps getting into embarrassing positions for no fault of his.<br /><br />If Paresh sparkles, it's because he has a screen son who shines with immense confidence. Akshaye's comic timing and his little nuances and gestures bring forceful humour to a film that may otherwise have ended up looking a little limp and unmoored.<br /><br />The rest of the cast, barring the brazenly over-pitched Genelia, give winsome comic performances. It's a surprise to see the beautiful Shobana show up as the spinster that widower Paresh wants to marry.<br /><br />The wedding song and dance are almost exquisite. This touch of the quasi-classical, also seen in the closing interlude of "Bhool Bhulaiya", gives the comedy a touch of refreshing grace.<br /><br />Interestingly, Mohan Joshi, who's a regular in Priyadarshan films, gives a completely non-comic performance here. And Archana Puransingh, as a brassy lady cop, once again displays a penchant for parody.<br /><br />Om Puri as a leery, ageing bachelor is appropriately grotesque. But one can't tell whether it's the character or the performance that makes one squirm.<br /><br />The film works mainly because Paresh and Akshaye look so delightfully compatible as a father and son who have lived so closely together that they don't know which is which.<br /><br />Another asset is Ranjit Barot's background music, which is surprisingly tender and strong in fits and starts.nickybeithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07906868049802837701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044018173999855420.post-72341859367200466722008-06-26T02:38:00.001-07:002008-06-26T03:43:52.797-07:00Shilpa Shetty signs director Manish Jha for first home production<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photogallery.indiatimes.com/photo.cms?photoid=3114674"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://photogallery.indiatimes.com/photo.cms?photoid=3114674" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Bollywood beauty Shilpa Shetty, who's also turned producer now, has signed on filmmaker Manish Jha of "Matrubhoomi" fame to direct her first home production that will go on the floor in November.<br /><br />"The untitled project is in its initial stages. It will have two heroes and two heroines. And I will be one of the heroines. As far as cast and crew go, only Manish and I are finalised ... the rest are yet to be decided," said Shilpa, who achieved international fame after winning the British reality show "Celebrity Big Brother".<br /><br />The actress, who launched her production house S2 Global Productions last year, says she is making an appearance in the movie at Jha's behest.<br /><br />"Manish felt the character suits me well and so I'm a part of it," Shilpa told IANS here.<br /><br />Jha had earlier directed Shilpa's yoga DVD, which was shot near the backwaters of Kerala.<br /><br />Talking about her future plans, Shilpa said: "I plan to produce a lot of movies that I may not be a part of. I'm also planning to re-launch my sister Shamita.<br /><br />"Shamita will not be part of the first project, but I am thinking of a film for her too. The second film will be for Shamita."<br /><br />The actress, who started her stint in Bollywood with "Baazigar" and gave hits like "Main Khiladi Tu Anari" and "Dhadkan", has not been seen on the silver screen for quite some time now.<br /><br />"Now I am concentrating on quality films and have become choosy about subjects. My last release was 'Life... in a Metro' and 'Apne' and after that now I am doing 'The Man'," she explained.<br /><br />"The Man" is a romantic thriller in which Shilpa plays an actress. It is Sunny Deol's second directorial venture after "Dillagi" and also stars Udita Goswami. Sunny himself plays the main lead.<br /><br />Shilpa will also be seen in a special role in Karan Johar's "Dostana".<br /><br />Besides being busy with films, Shilpa is upbeat about being part of the Bachchans' 'Unforgettable' world tour. She is set to perform at two special shows in London.<br /><br />"After a long time, I'm a part of such a big tour. This is the second time I will be performing with Amitji. It will be a real pleasure and joy to be part of such a mega tour. It will be a finale with all the actors on the same stage," she said excitedly.<br /><br />"Besides, I am very happy to perform in London - the place which has given me so much," she added.<br /><br />The star-studded world tour featuring superstars like Amitabh, Abhishek, Aishwairya, Preity Zinta, Riteish Deshmukh and music directors Vishal-Shekhar will kick off July 18 at Toronto. It will later travel across the US including cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston and New York, and then head to London.nickybeithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07906868049802837701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044018173999855420.post-60321508154834059072008-06-26T02:35:00.001-07:002008-06-26T03:35:38.775-07:00Carla should always wear heels<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.perfectpeople.net/photo-picture-image-media/Carla-Bruni-451x614-70kb-media-76-media-0246.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.perfectpeople.net/photo-picture-image-media/Carla-Bruni-451x614-70kb-media-76-media-0246.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Carla Bruni may be a style icon for many, but socialite Nancy Dell’Olio has advised the French first Lady to opt for heels, as she does not look glamorous in her ballet pumps. The Italian celebrity, who makes it on to the style pages for all reasons other than clothes, has claimed that Bruni is a sartorial sinner as far as style is concerned. Nancy said that Bruni, in an attempt to look taller than her short hubby Sarkozy, opts for flat shoes, which certainly doesn’t look glamorous. She then advised the former Italian model to wear heels as they look more glamorous. “Always wear heels — don’t be like Carla Bruni. She has a short man, I see the problem. But if you want to look glamorous, you have to go for heels every time,” Nancy, said.nickybeithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07906868049802837701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044018173999855420.post-45359117974324825372008-06-21T11:31:00.001-07:002008-06-21T11:31:58.587-07:00Best-Song Oscar Rules ChangeOscar bosses have changed the rules so that no more than two tunes from any one film can be among the Academy Awards Best Song nominations.<br /><br />This year, three of the five nominees for Best Song came from the film Enchanted.
