Then he’s visited by three ghosts who take him on an emotional journey, and before you know it, his meanness is gone for good…read more [ScreeningLog]
It’s hard to believe that Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol 166 years ago, but here we are in 2009 and Robert Zemeckis has spent $180 million to produce a motion-capture animated film that retells the famous story. The movie opens this weekend on more than 2,000 digital 3D screens and features the voices of Jim Carrey, Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Bob Hoskins, Cary Elwes and Robin Wright Penn. Despite first being published on December 19, 1843, A Christmas Carol remains one of the most popular, heart-warming holiday tales ever written.

Batman 3 in 2011?
During the Comic-Con 2009 panel on Friday for “The Book of Eli,” Gary Oldman, the “Dark Knight” star, spoke too soon when he revealed that he will begin filming a new Batman flick (Batman 3) next year that would hit theaters in 2011.
“I think the next Batman is next year. We start shooting next year. You didn’t hear that from me.” he told a fan who asked about when the long-awaited “Dark Knight” follow-up would hit.
He didn’t have anything to say about the involvement of Christian Bale or Christopher Nolan.
According to Reuters, a Warner Bros. spokeswoman declined to comment on what Oldman said about the new movie, which only adds to the suspicion. For all Batman fans there is a good chance that another film is in the works considering the first two movies combined took in nearly $1.4 billion at global box offices.
