Thanks for #10 and #16

THAT would be just awesome! But I dont expect it to happen. *cough* hopefully it will *cough*

I like.

Well I hope that God´s Deal have a bit better legs than that. Something like 50+-/125-130M would be awesome

Ye, God´s Deal will be frontloaded.

Yes I´m a bit disappointed that American Idols just got a "Rent It". As well as SpellForce. Maybe you can tell me why?

I just thought the same. Some think it´s great, some does not. But I´m still very happy to see it at #6.

Nice for SpellForce.

I´m waiting in the shadows :ph34r:

Thanks for reviewing it, Numbers. The ending was the hardest to write because its not very good explained in the game itself. I hope that I can do better with the sequels if the first one did great boxoffice wise.

Do we still need some fillers? I could write some now. Or can we start predicting?

I hope that you review SpellForce numbers. Yes it was from cayom 1.0 but i've done it in a completely different way like last time.

SpellForce or American Idols please.

American Idols Director: Keith Gordon Studios: Silver Shark Entertainment Genre: Drama Cast: Josh Hutcherson (Jimmy Helward), Rooney Mara (Maria), Jensen Ackles (Heath Miller), Nicholas Hoult (Max), Lucas Till (Alex) Budget: $ 8 million Theater Count: 10 (on Nov 11th), 100 (on Nov 18th), 1000 (on Nov 25th), 2500 (on Dec 2nd) Rating: R Release Date: November 11th Running Time: 1 hrs 52 mins Plot: Jimmy Helward move with his family to a little backwater town in Texas. He is still sad that he had to leave his old home and his friends behind. Being sixteen is hard. But he finds new friends at his new school very fast too. Max and Alex are two brothers trying to get through high school. They show Jimmy the school and point out the various cliques to him. Jimmy falls in love with a girl, Maria, who hangs out with some brawny guys. After the first two weeks at his new school, Jimmy has settled in nicely. At dinner he tells his family very enthusiastically about his new history teacher, Heath Miller. He imparts the subject matter with such energy that even the most boring topic gets interesting. He inspires his pupils. At the next day, Jimmy, Max and Alex walk through the hallway to their next lesson. Jimmy sees Maria again, but does not dare to talk with her. Max pushes Jimmy, so he collides with Maria. He apologizes himself and helps her to collect her books. Maria looks at Jimmy and asks him if he is new at their school, furthermore she invites him to a party that weekend. Max and Alex can come too. She smiles at Jimmy once again and walks away. The three friends run to their next class – history. Heath Miller is very popular, because he is very charismatic. He knows what to tell his students so they are enthusiastic about something. He is also very good-looking, which furthers his popularity with the girls. After the lesson, Jimmy, Max and Alex have lunch period and go to the cafeteria to eat something. On their way there, they see how the Afro-American janitor Leon gets mobbed by some students. The three are ashamed about their colleges, but they do nothing about it. The weekend nears and Jimmy is looking forward to the party at Maria´s. He picks up Max and Alex with his car and together they drive to Maria´s house. There, dozens of students from their school are making merry. Even Heath Miller, who Maria has invited too, is there. At the party, Jimmy and Maria get to know each other better and they sleep together. Later they rejoin the party. Meanwhile, Max and Alex are the odd ones out and are very bored. Jimmy ignores them, he is very busy with Maria, who cannot keep her hands off him. Together they walk into the kitchen, where Heath Miller talks to some of the teenagers. He preaches about unfairness in the US of A and that foreigners are shown more respect than their own countrymen. First Jimmy wants to take his teacher to task, but his speech sweeps him away too. There are some colored students at the party as well, so there are some quarrels until Miller calms everybody down. The party is over and the teenagers drive home. The next school day, Maria picks Jimmy up from home. His parents are happy for him that he has found a girlfriend so fast. But instead of driving to school, Maria takes Jimmy to a isolated house, where some other students await them. First, Jimmy does not understand and wants to go to school, but then Heath Miller arrives and he calms down. Miller wants the teenagers to form a line. Then he starts another speech about injustice and agitates the teenagers. Jimmy is thrilled again and Maria is very happy about it. Miller talks on and demands solidarity from the “pure” students and wants the boys to cut their hair uniformly. Either a buzz cut or a full shave. Anybody, who does not want to do that, has to go. But nobody goes. At the end, Miller cuts his hair himself and we see a glimpse of a tattoo on his back. After his speech, Miller walks into a separate room to change his clothes for school and exposes his tattoo fully: a big swastika. They drive to school all together. In the next days, all of Miller´s group are looked at funnily. But when they decry the injustice in their country, more and more teenagers join their group. Two weeks later, about two thirds of the students of the school have joined the “American Idols”, that is the new name of the group. Miiller holds his speeches and rouses the students. After each speech, the event degenerates into a wild orgy with alcohol and sex. Meanwhile, Jimmy´s parents are very worried about their son and contact the principal. But the principal cannot do anything against the group, because he cannot prove that anything illegal is happening. Finally, Jimmy´s parents meet with Max and Alex and ask them to join the movement, so they can tell them what is going on. Max and Alex are very reluctant, because they are afraid of such groups. But in the end they ask Jimmy, if they can attend a meeting. Jimmy is very happy and invites his former best friends to the next gathering. There they have to cut their hair as well. After a few weeks, Max and Alex want to report to the principal. But in front of his office, they are stopped by some students – amongst others Jimmy – and are dragged along. Jimmy questions both and asks them if they have no honor. Max asks Jimmy if he has lost it and if he understands what is happening. Suddenly, Maria kicks Max in his guts. Then Max and Alex are beaten brutally and have to be taken to into intensive care at the hospital. Meanwhile the movement grows and grows and nearly all students have joined. All that do not join are terrorized. The janitor, Leon, tries to calm the teenagers down as well as he can, but without success. Eventually is he beaten by some members of the “American Idols” as well. When Jimmy finds the injured Leon, he takes pity on him and carries him into an empty classroom, where he deals with his injuries. The Nigerian asks him why Jimmy is helping him, but Jimmy does not know what to answer. When Maria calls for him, Jimmy runs from the classroom. Leon shouts “Thanks” after him. In the next weeks, the happenings at Jimmy´s school are investigated, after Max and Alex have succumbed to their severe injuries. But there is still no evidence against Heath Miller and his pupils keep mum. The will of the group is too strong. Meanwhile, Jimmy and Leon become friends and Jimmy listens to Leon´s stories from his home country. Leon has barely escaped the ethnic cleansing by the local regime, but he has never seen his family again. Jimmy feels bad and starts to turn away from the “American Idols”. Heath Miller pulls Jimmy aside and asks him what is up with him. Immediately Jimmy feels the old enthusiasm again, but he tells his teacher that he needs time for himself. Miller grins and says that that is no problem. Jimmy just needs to come to the group´s gatherings again, once he feels better. But instead of going to the movements gatherings, Jimmy helps Leon with his duties at school – in secret, of course. But one day, he caught by Maria and other members of “American Idols” and gets questioned. They want him to prove his loyalty and tell him to beat Leon. Jimmy refuses and protects Leon from two other teenagers, who want to beat him up. Maria is deeply disappointed and walks away with the others. She threatens Jimmy to be very careful when he leaves his house. Leon thanks Jimmy, who panics and does not know what to do. After a few days, he remorsefully goes to a gathering and asks to be taken to Heath Miller. But the two teenagers guarding the door do not let him pass. Then Miller himself arrives and asks Jimmy to join him in a separate room. Again he asks Jimmy what is up with him and if he even still believes in their “cause”. Jimmy swears that he still wants to belong to the group. Miller tells him to join the gathering and to party a bit, but to return to him later. At the party, Jimmy meets Maria and apologizes to her. But she cannot forgive him and asks him for time, she says she still loves him. Later in the evening, Jimmy returns to Miller and wants to speak with him. But what he finds is Miller and Maria having sex together. Jimmy crashes into the room and takes Miller to task. Miller just grins and says that everything is for the good of their “cause”. Jimmy attacks Miller, who can overwhelm him easily. Miller presents himself as a new leader and calms Jimmy down, he just wanted to comfort Maria. But then he demands the ultimate prove of Jimmy´s loyalty and tells him to kill Leon, whom the group has kidnapped and chained up in another room. Jimmy, Maria and Miller go to that room together and Miller gives Jimmy a gun. He takes Jimmy´s hand, points the gun against Leon´s head and tells Jimmy to shoot. Jimmy hesitates. Leon tells him to do it, to obey Miller, because otherwise Jimmy would probably have to die himself. Finally, Jimmy lowers the gun with tears in his eyes and points it at Miller instead. But Miller just pulls out another gun and shoots Jimmy and kills Leon with a headshot. The other teenagers in the house hear the shoots and panic. In the meantime, a special commando of the police has arrived and storms into the room where Jimmy, Miller and Maria are. Miller is standing above Jimmy and pointing the gun into his face. The special commandos shoot Miller and help Jimmy up. But suddenly Maria attacks them, because she has lost her “leader” and sees no more sense in living. She is shot too. At the hospital, Jimmy promises to help the police to completely clarify matters and can finally return home. There his parents are waiting for him and embrace him. They finally have their son back.

Perfectly. Thanks for the suggestions, Numbers. Please put Spellforce on December 21st then.

Well where I should put Spellforce then?... I think its good enough to stand against another big film but where? I don´t get why I should move again.

Don´t you think that Icarus and Spellforce could work on that date? I have no idea where to put Spellforce if not on pre thanksgiving. Any suggestions? I really want it to do good, but without any rewievs its hard to say where it could work.
