If you've ever dreamed about seeing together such a brilliant ensemble cast as Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Helena Bonham Carter, Patrick Godfrey and Sacha Baron Cohen in one movie, your dream has come true with Tom Hooper's film Russell Crowe produced by Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Debra Hayward and Cameron Mackintosh. William Nicholson has written a screenplay for this musical based upon the Les Misérables aka Les Mis or Les Miz, a 19-th century French theatre musical which was incredibly popular both in the Europe and America. The original source of Les Misérables is Victor Hugo's novel of the same name which was written in 1862. The story of Les Misérables is focusing on the live and fate of ex-convict Jean Valjean and his experience of the redemption. The musical immerses us in the turmoil of the pre- June Rebellion times starting in 1815 and reaching its pivotal point in 1835 with all the well-known consequences. However, let's back to Tom Hooper's adaptation: the brilliant cast is not the everything of this musical drama – you just need to hear the voice of Russell Crowe singing in Les Misérables to understand what a huge hit you faced.

Blue Crush taught us surfer-girls can have guts and soul. Now, considerably raising the stakes and the bar, Soul Surfer shows us just how courageous and soulful real-life surfer girls can be. Please do not allow Carrie Underwood's cameos to distract you from Soul Surfer's true heroine--Bethany Hamilton, on whose real-life triumph the movie is based. At 13, Bethany Hamilton lost part of her arm to a hungry shark, and her battle for survival garnered world-wide attention. The loss of the arm represents the loss of Bethany's dream: she aspired to a career as a pro surfer, and she had been well on her way. "At low ebb, Bethany discovers no surfing, no self. Travelling with a youth group to Phuket, Thailand, in the wake of the tsunami, Bethany discovers the possibility of making a difference in others' lives, and she pursues recovery and career with new-found purpose and resolve. The results: inspirational drama, and great surfing. In Soul Surfer's climactic scenes, we witness Bethany pushing her physical limits for the sake of inspiring others. In these scenes, we also credit director Sean McNamara with understanding the difference between "homiletic" and inspirational and keeping the most soulful parts of Soul Surfer genuinely tear-worthily inspirational."The Hamilton family collaborated in Soul Surfer's development, adding parts of the story Bethany had felt unwilling or unready to discuss in her autobiography. Welcome (almost) grown-up AnnaSophia Robb, who pours her own heart and soul into her portrayal of Bethany Hamilton. Welcome back Helen Hunt, beautiful and beguiling as ever, and extremely well cast as Bethany's mom. Also welcome back Dennis Quaid, reprising the good dad, and doing it well."
