Not only can Steve Carell get animals to board an ark — he can also entice people to go to the movies. Carell's Evan Almighty took the No. 1 spot at the weekend box office, bumping The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer from its temporary throne.

While there are several new releases coming out this weekend (Evan Almighty, A Mighty Heart, 1408, and others), it's hard to say if any of them will definitely knock The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer off of its box office throne. What do you think?
Which Movie Will Be No.

As you could probably guess, A Mighty Heart is difficult to watch. Knowing the true story on which the movie is based — and knowing the outcome of this story — causes a dense, heavy sense of impending doom to sit like a rock in one's belly throughout the film's duration. In fact, there were times when I wondered what I was doing watching this horrifyingly sad tale.

Angelina was more than happy to sign autographs for fans at the premiere for A Mighty Heart last night. As many of you have noted she looks very thin these days. Her smaller frame has sparked anorexia rumors but she tells London Evening Standard that's not the reason behind her recent weight loss.

As some of you may have realized, wherever Angelina goes, heated conversation follows, but at last night's NYC premiere of A Mighty Heart the whispers weren't about her life or actions -- they were about her dress. Instead of going with the myriad designer frocks she could clearly get her hands on, Angie went with a $26 vintage dress from a thrift store in LA. I'm not loving it, but I totally know when you find something you like, you gotta go with it!

Earlier in the week we got a peek at Angelina talking about avoiding the media coverage of her life in her exclusive new interview with Ann Curry to promote A Mighty Heart. This morning's Today Show aired a portion of the interview, and after watching the clip, I must say that I was impressed by how poised Angelina comes off, even when reduced to tears talking about her mother. On that difficult subject, "I'm at a strange place in my life.

Admittedly, I was nervous to read the reviews for A Mighty Heart, a movie based on the horrific story of journalist Daniel Pearl who was kidnapped in Pakistan in 2002 and ultimately beheaded. The real-life story is heartbreaking, and I worried that a movie might trivialize rather than honor Daniel Pearl's story.
So far, the reviews have been positive with critics giving kudos for the respectful way in which the Pearls' story is told, though also mentioning that the movie presents moments of discomfort having to do with such ripped-from-the-headlines tales of torture and terrorism.

Angelina and Brad looked beautiful at the A Mighty Heart photocall earlier in the day, but at the actual premiere it was glamor all the way. Brad really snazzed it up in a tuxedo and slick-backed hair, while Angie opted for a stunning simple black number. None of their little kiddies joined them, but Mariane Pearl herself was there holding the hand of her brave little man.

Brad and Angelina showed up to the photocall for A Mighty Heart in Cannes arm in arm and minus their adorable entourage. They even took off their matching shades and showed some teeth for lots of photo ops. Both Brad and Angie had a large hand in making the film - Brad produced and Angie's the star - so naturally they both had a lot to say about their project.
