Subtle Bluntness

So, I got to see The Blind Side last week, and while I took my sweet time getting the review out there (and they took their sweet time to publish it thanks to holiday vacations and the like), I have to say I was really impressed with Sandra Bullock.  In the review I mentioned Erin [...]

Sometimes the Internet causes me great pain.  One of the best things about my new writing gig over at Kiwibox is that whenever people respond, they get these things called Kiwipoints.  They’re like regular points, but green and kind of fuzzy.  Anyway, because people get Kiwipoints to respond to things like my DVD review of [...]

So this week I’ve managed to dig my way out of a gigantic pile of freelance work.  I’m one of the unlucky folks who simply can’t get started without a lot of time pressure, so that means that in a few short days I’ve driven myself to make a list of projects and actually finish [...]

Well.  Clint Eastwood is back on top of the box office, and the weekend box office report is back over at Den of Geek.  After a few weeks hiatus, mostly for the holidays, it’ll be a regular feature again.  This time, it’ll be up on Mondays rather than Tuesdays.  I’m sacrificing a bit of accuracy [...]

Yeah, I missed another weekend of box office results last week. I just couldn’t stomach the thought of having to write about the number one movie in the country being Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Fortunately, with a little help from the extra-potent combat drugs found in this week’s top film, Max Payne ($17 million), I can [...]

I’ve been going to the movies a lot lately, and every time I do one of my weekend box office reports at Den of Geek, I’m reminded of my previous moviegoing experiences. I’m kind of a movie experience snob (though I do love eating and drinking during movies when it’s beer and real food), but [...]

Here’s this weekend’s box office report, now with extra surprise at the performance of Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Aside: Doesn’t it seem like there’s an “h” missing from “Cristina”? I know she’s Spanish (or whatever she’s supposed to be), but it still doesn’t seem right. Oh well, I’m not Woody Allen; I’ve never had sex with [...]

One of these weeks, The Dark Knight will not be the #1 movie at the American box office. Unfortunately for Pineapple Express, this is not that week. I know The Dark Knight has no chance to catch Titanic’s epic box office performance, or E.T.’s 16 chart-topping weekends in a row, but I can still dream, [...]

For once, I got a prediction right! For the third weekend in a row, The Dark Knight has fought its way to the top of the box office charts. The #1 film took in an impressive $43.8 million dollars, which means a whole lot of people have seen it several times. The takes are slowly [...]

The Dark Knight is the fastest movie to break $100 million dollars, $200 million dollars, and $300 million dollars. It is the largest opening weekend in history. It has the largest 10-day opening in history. Most importantly, Christopher Nolan’s dark superhero tale has a legitimate chance to pass the horribly cloying Titanic as the top [...]
