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 [...]

So that happened.  Tyler Perry’s Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail made $41 million dollars this weekend.  In turn, I jammed a salad fork into the bottom of my foot. In less unpleasant news, I got to review I Love The 80’s:  The Naked Gun and Choke:  Special Edition for various places.  I love it [...]

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 [...]

There’s something I don’t really get. Shia LaBeouf is somehow the biggest star on the planet, and I have absolutely no idea how or why he’s gotten this way. His lifetime gross is nearly $975 million in the United States alone. He made $316 million and counting off of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of [...]

Last weekend was the first weekend in months that I didn’t go see at least one (if not three) movies. I’m feeling strange ‘lack of big-screen radiation’ withdrawals. That’s probably why I’m craving popcorn almost constantly these days, though it could be due to the fact I don’t eat as much exploded food these days [...]

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 [...]
