This blog is dedicated to the content that I wrote during my sophomore year at Belmont University (2010-2011). The articles were written for the Country Music News website called Country Hound or for the Belmont student run newspaper called The Vision .

All of the items were subject for being published and written by myself, Valerie W. This site will no longer be updated.

Soul Surfer Box Office Hit

Carrie Underwood is not only a multi-award winning, and extremely talented, country crooner, but now she is also an actress in a box office hit. Soul Surfer, which features Underwood’s first film role, erned $11.1 million over its opening weekend.

The film earned $5,014 per theater, which the Wall Street Journal says is the best of any wide release.

The film tells the inspirational story of Bethany Hamilton. Hamilton is a surfer who lost an arm due to a shark attack several years ago. Underwood plays Hamilton’s youth minister. Hamilton is played in the movie by Anna Sophia Robb, who appeared at the ACM Awards previously this month.

Soul Surfer received an A-plus rating from CinemaScore. This polling website asks viewers to assign a letter grade to new movies, which intends to project the projects’ earnings.
