(WZZM) - First up, the movie that's already making girls cry with just the trailer.  It's "Dear John," based on the bestselling book by Nicholas Sparks.

Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried play star-crossed lovers who are separated when he goes to war.  If you didn't like the ending to "Dear John" the book, maybe you'll like the movie more. In January, the movie's ending was changed and reshot with the blessing of Nicholas Sparks.

"Dear John" opens this week along with a very bald John Travolta in the action thriller, "From Paris With Love."

If you were a child of the eighties, you may remember one of the greatest worst movies ever, "Clash of the Titans." Remember Harry Hamlin trying to save the damsel in distress, the little gold owl, the famous line, "release the Kraken?"

Now Warner Brothers has re-made the movie and it looks really good and stars Liam Neeson.  We've got your first look at the new "Clash of the Titans." Click on the video link to see it.  The movie opens March 26th.

On the smaller screen, ABC called it the 'television event of the year' and the new season of "Lost" didn't disappoint. The two-hour premiere this week attracted more than 12 million viewers and scored ratings 12 percent higher than last year. That's good news for the network since Season Five debuted to much worse numbers last January.

Not only is the show retiring this year, but one of its lead actors, Matthew Fox, a.k.a. "Jack" announced when the show ends, he's retiring from TV acting to spend more time with his family.  Well, until more film offers roll in we suspect.

It's all about Haiti disaster relief in the music world this week and there are three major projects to tell you about.

First, the remake of 'We Are The World.'  Producer Quincy Jones and Lioinel Ritchie gathered more than 80 musicians for the song including Celine Dion, Pink and the Jonas Brothers.

Simon Cowell also put together an all-star group to cover REM'S 'Everybody Hurts.' Leona Lewis, Mariah Carey and James Blunt are a few lending their voices to that project.

Finally, Dave Matthews Band has its own Haiti benefit project in the form of an EP on the band's website. It includes five unreleased songs and will run you five bucks.

In video games, you may not know him by name, but the voice of "Uncharted's" Nathan Drake has hinted the third installment of the game may start production soon.

In an interview with Gamepro.com, Nolan North said 2010 will be a busy year for him with sequels to "Uncharted 2" and "Assassin's Creed 2" and a couple of other unnamed projects. Game developer Naughty Dog has said more "Uncharted" will come as long as people want it.

And for those of you who prefer some good old school "Super Mario Rrothers," the new release for the Wii has sold 10 million copies worldwide in just eight weeks.  Four and a half million of those were sold here in America.  That's a new sales speed record for a single-console game.
