Trying to figure out how to talk about the box office at the moment is a bit of a challenge, what with Christmas Day — always a big moviegoing day in North America — falling on a Thursday, and all the new wide releases opening that day. And then there’s this odd week, with no … more…
Take a break from not working this wasted holiday week: watch a movie trailer… Am I totally ahead of the curve, or what? What was I just saying about Bollywood movies not being marketed to non-Indian audiences (and still getting big audience in the U.S. and the U.K.)? Today in my email I get an … more…
Take a break from not working this wasted holiday week: watch a movie trailer… Just a tip from this gal to the two gals (and one guy) who wrote this screenplay: Women who treat each other like this are not “best friends.” Calling them “frenemies” doesn’t help, because that’s one of the most despicable concepts … more…
Take a break from not working this wasted holiday week: watch a movie trailer… Say what? A spooky child? We’ve certainly never seen that before, have we? He wants to be born now? Doesn’t he think he might have a better time of it if he doesn’t scare his sister to death? You know, light … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Oh, great. Every stupid cliché about England, with a few bonuses thrown in, like the little dog piddling on the luggage and the horny landlady. Poor Imelda Staunton. If it’s so gross that Burt Reynolds — age 72 — is kissing that hot young blond chick … more…
Yeah, I used that headline when the teen vampire movie opened in North America, too. Look, the holiday in the middle of the week has really thrown my schedule off, and I just want to get a quick look at last weekend’s U.K. box office numbers before this new weekend is over: 1. Twilight: £2.5 … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… There’s actual kind of a ton of stuff in this trailer that didn’t end up in the final movie, and, thankfully, it’s stuff like the laxative comment, cuz, you know, a dog movie’s gonna have more than its share of poop jokes to start with, so … more…
Just a quick look at last weekend’s number as we head into the long holiday stretch, which will, in effect, be one long “weekend” starting tomorrow, Christmas Day, and running through Sunday, January 4: 1. Yes Man: $18.2 million (NEW) 2. Seven Pounds: $14.9 million (NEW) 3. The Tale of Despereaux: $10 million (NEW) 4. … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Doh! I wanna say that this is, annoyingly, one of those trailers that gives away more than it should, except that it doesn’t matter, because pretty much from the opening moments of the movie, you know almost everything that’s going to happen anyway. Still, that’s no … more…
Just one movie this week, my last movie for the year (not counting the piles of screeners I’ll be spending the holiday weeks plowing through before I have to finalize my nominations ballot for the Online Film Critics Society awards). I’m dreading it because it’s Adam Sandler, but maybe Bedtime Stories (opens wide in the … more…
