Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Oh, look, it’s The Da Vinci Code with a Scottish accent! It’ll be better than that silly flick, though, because everything’s better with a Scottish accent. And also because this appears to be actually be intended as a comedy, instead of not intended as one — … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… One day last week I was working in a Starbucks, and — as has happened more than once before — the person sitting next to me noticed the work I was doing and engaged me in conversation about movies. The guy turned out to be Indian, … more…
As in the U.S., the U.K. debut of The Day the Earth Stood Still looks good at first glance, but it pales next to, say, last week’s bow of Madagascar 2… or even this second weekend of that animated flick, even after it took a big drop: 1. The Day the Earth Stood Still: £2.8 … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Okay, so now I’ve seen The Spirit, and I won’t say much till next week, except, well, you can see that red light over the righthand column. I have been thwarted in my psychedness. I’ll say a few things that you can also see for yourself … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Awesome! It looks like Bryan Singer has a new comic book superhero action movie this Christmas. Excellent! Now, I admit I’m not familiar with the superfriends here, but then, I was never a mega-devoted reader of comic books. They’re a bit older than you usually see … more…
This is it. My movie year is almost done. I’ve got a few awards screeners still sitting in piles here needing to be watched, but with these two movies (and one more next Monday), I’m done for 2008. My final tally of new theatrical releases seen for the year will be around 225. *whew* My … more…
It looks kinda like a big number for the Keanu Reeves sci-fi flick, but it kinda ain’t: 1. The Day the Earth Stood Still: $30.4 million (NEW) 2. Four Christmases: $13 million (3rd week; drops 22%) 3. Twilight: $7.9 million (4th week; drops 39%) 4. Bolt: $7.5 million (4th week; drop 24%) 5. Australia: $4.2 … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… I pretty much hated this the first time around, when it was called Liar Liar. Of course, Liar Liar made $180 million in 1998. I also hated the last time Carrey was so outrageously, unthinkingly extreme on screen, in 2003’s Bruce Almighty, and that one made … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… I saw this trailer before I saw the film, and I worried then that it gives away too much of the story. The truth is, though, that the premise of the film — a man is born old and gets younger as he ages — pretty … more…
It’s one of those moments where you’re having a heart attack and getting the cure in the same moment. I would have keeled over to learn that Hollywood was contemplating a remake of the hideous sitcom Full House, which has been banned in 84 countries as a violation of human rights, except that this is … more…
