Can't see the screenshot but I'll take a guess...

Is it 2012 from 2009?

The only thing this made me think of (which I'm failing to see a connection to hip-hop) was the theory that a period of extreme winter conditions affected the trees/woods that were used to create Stadivarius violins which gives them their unique sound.

Green Room?

D.A.R.Y.L?

OUTSTANDING guess! I have long heard rumors of anther person, besides myself, who has seen this movie... could it be?

Sadly, it's not the answer.

The Princess Bride?

You got it. Little Kevin Arnold was playing the classic Hardball at the beginning of the movie just before the Gandpa arrived.

You're up!

Red Riding Hood?

I can't tell if that's Amanda Seifried (sp) or not?

I don't remember any of these screens to be honest (and I have seen the movie)... I just guessed it from the last one.

Eruption of the volcano Tobu somewhere in Indonesia if i recollect correctly.

It's Toba (at least in English) but you got it either way!

Your turn!

An excellent guess, but is not the answer!

[This event, which took place nearly 75,000 years ago, is believed to have caused a genetic bottle neck of the human population. Estimates range from 10,000 to as few as 1,000 humans left on the planet. Human kind has never come so close to being totally wiped out. While there has been some disagreement in recent years (as to whether this event actually caused the population crisis) most still believe this event was responsible for the near-extinction of humanity.]

You'll always know your neighbor, and you'll always know your pal if y'ever navigated on the Erie Canal!

Didn't know that first quote (or the third) but I remember that jingle about the canal.

There was an American murderer,..The "servant girl killer" or something similar?

Close enough! The Servant Girl Annihilator was the moniker penned by writer O.Henry. The string of murders took place in Austin, Texas USA between 1884 and 1885. The killer's first six victims were servants (all black) so didn't get much press until the next two (and final) victims were killed and they happened to be white. Then the media hysteria started and the killing stopped.

It was not Jack the Ripper. However, given that the murders in question took place before the murders by Jack the Ripper (and neither were caught) I suppose we can't positively say it wasn't the same person. However, in the case of this question, it was not Jack the Ripper.

[This prolific, late 19th century, serial killer brutally murdered women. The murderer continued until his/her murders started making headlines. Then the killings just stopped and the killer was never caught.]

I wanted to guess without looking it up so I just went all phonetic!

I'll whip up another ASAP. Watch this space...

Congrats on the release!

Ahkenaten?

I have no idea how to spell "Atenakken"

Kumpel is, of course, right!

The only other famous Mexican General I could think of was Poncho Villa. So I guessed right
