Box Office Results (5/22-5/25)
I find it fascinating that even though so many films released this past month having either been a sequel (X-Men Wolverine) or an adaptation of existing subject matter (Star Trek) and those same films doing extremely well in their respective opening weekends, that Terminator Salvation couldn’t pull off a #1 debut during its weekend in [...]
Box Office Results (5/15-5/17)
Well, lookie there folks – Angels and Demons DID knock Star Trek off its pedestal at the #1 spot this weekend, sliding it down one notch to #2 by just a few million box office dollars.X-Men Origins: Wolverine maintained its rank in the Top 5 BUT look at how much it took in – a [...]
Angels and Demons Released
And no, I don’t mean “angels” and “demons” are being released. Rather, the FILM starring Tom Hanks, Angels and Demons is debuting this weekend. The summer blockbuster race has begun! With Wolverine and Star Trek already making their presence well-known having debuted to high box office numbers, the question is – will Angels knock Trek [...]
Box Office Results (5/8-5/10)
Apparently, just about everyone in the country boldly went where no one has gone before this weekend. Star Trek took the top spot in its first week in debut, surpassing X-Men Wolverine by a long shot. Two big blockbuster movies released back-to-back. I wonder how each will do as the week’s progress and more summer [...]
Star Trek – a Trek You’ll Want to Take

Is There Credence to the MTV Movie Awards?
Earlier this week, the list of nominees for the annual Golden Popcorn award was released. Leading the pack – Twilight with seven nominations but coming up just behind with six, my favorite movie of 2008, Slumdog Millionaire.
Twilight. Really?
I shouldn’t diss. I didn’t see the movie. And I shouldn’t diss because the awards are voted on [...]
May the 4th Be With YOU!
Funny thing about me – I’m nearly 40 and if you do the math, I was 7 years-old when the very first Star Wars film was released. While I’ve been hooked ever since, even I have to admit I had absolutely no idea that May 4th every year is also known as “Star Wars Day” [...]
Box Office Results (5/1-5/3)
Surprise. Surprise! The latest installment of the XMen series, XMen Origins: Wolverine, not only topped the charts in its first weekend in release, it BLEW past the competition grossing $87 million! The Mathew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner romantic comedy, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, debuted at #2. Interesting to note that Monsters Vs. Aliens is still [...]
