opening wide Up: It is balloons! (You probably don’t get that reference unless you were a kid in the 1970s in the New York metropolitan area and watched WPIX and saw its promos for F-Troop reruns. Sorry.) Drag Me to Hell: Sam Raimi tortures poor Alison Lohman. But might she maybe kinda sorta deserve it? … more…
Drag Me to Hell: “I welcome the dead into my soul.” Go on, say it — it’s easy! Obsessed: Bitches be crazy. It’s all you need to know. 12 Rounds: John Cena thinks he’s Bruce Willis in Die Hard. It’s so cute, really. Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience: “And three brothers shall walk among … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… This garnered huge applause at the midnight screening of Up I attended last night. It does hit all the right notes: the rivalry between Buzz and Woody and the larger rivalry between old-fashioned toys with their charming feeling of handcraftedness (though Woody was probably manufactured in Korea) … more…
It didn’t have to compete with Terminator Salvation in Britain, but it still didn’t do quite as well as in North America: 1. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian: £4.2 million (NEW) 2. Angels & Demons: £2.5 million (2nd week; drops 59%) 3. Star Trek: £1.6 million (3rd week; drops 53%) 4. X-Men … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Is it cuz I’m not a guy that I don’t get that whole first bit here, with the dude who complains that he’s not invited to the bachelor party and then is in his underwear? How does the one thing connect to the other? Or does it … more…
These holiday shortened weeks seem to disappear twice as fast as the regular ones, even though they’re only one day shorter. How is it practically the weekend again already?: 1. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian: $70.1 million (NEW) 2. Terminator Salvation: $51.9 million (NEW) 3. Star Trek: $29.4 million (3rd week; drops … more…
BUMPED UP to say that I’ve addded another movie to my schedule this week: Blood: The Last Vampire (opens in the U.S. in July, and in the U.K. on June 19; it didn’t open last week as I had indicated in an earlier post) — it’s an English-language telling of a Japanese Buffy. I didn’t … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… What I hear, this is like Crash — the Cronenberg one — but instead of automobile accidents, it’s weird stuff on the Internet that gets these freaky people off. So Maria Bello, who’s into this stuff, leaves her husband, Rufus Sewell, who isn’t into it, for Jason … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh my goodness. I think we always knew Sherlock Holmes was familiar with handcuffs, but did we suspect he was this, ahem, intimately familiar? Tee hee! This is Guy Ritchie’s reboot of the world’s first consulting detective — the script is by Harry Potter producer Lionel Wigram, … more…
I’ve been telling my friends in New York City for months now: Don’t pay extra for any IMAX showings unless it’s at the AMC Lincoln Square, which is the only genuine IMAX screen in NYC. Even the one at the American Museum of Natural History — which shows only nature documentaries, not blockbuster flicks — … more…
