Report: Bangkok Dangerous makes no. 1 in box office this week but flops big time…

Leave a comment

Nic Cage’s new movie “Bangkok Dangerous” made no 1. in the box office this week but still didn’t do very well with money. The film only made $7.8 million and that ain’t very good.

More on it here:

Just because a movie bombs doesn’t mean it sucks. I’ve seen many fantastic movies over the years that didn’t do well in the box office.

It’s just that I’m not the type of guy that will see a movie because it’s a hit and won’t see a movie because it bombs like most people are that way.

I’ll only see a movie in theater if it interests me. It doesn’t have to be a blockbuster, it can be even be a film that’s only shown in a few theaters. As long as a film has good storytelling, good acting, and a good cast that’ll get me out to see it, I will. It doesn’t matter what genre and what rating the film is in, I’ll go see a film if it interests me.

I’ll still go see “Bangkok Dangerous” because the story to that movie looks interesting to me and I enjoy Nic Cage films. The man’s a good actor and I can’t wait to see him in “Bad Lieutenant” too.

Report: Ben Stiller beats down Batman witih “Tropic Thunder”…

Leave a comment

Ben Stiller’s “Tropic Thunder” has just topped the box office this weekend, bringing Batman down to no. 2. Batman couldn’t stay no. 1 for the 5th week in a row, I guess. “Tropic Thunder” made a whopping $26 million.

The Associated Press reports:

I wouldn’t blame the “retard” content in the film only making $26 million that turned people off of watching the film. I think the main reason the film only made $26 million is that most people have been staying home watching the Olympics since the Olympics ratings have been so high. If the Olympics didn’t happen at all this year, I’m sure “Tropic Thunder” would have made a lot more.

BREAKING NEWS: “The Dark Knight” still no. 1 in box office for 4th week in a row, now no. 3 domestically!!!!!!!

Leave a comment

OMFG! It’s CRAZY! The Dark Knight is STILL dominating and filling theaters for the fourth week ever since the film came out! The film beat the new “Pineapple Express” comedy film that just came out. “The Dark Knight” even beat the new “X-Files: I Want to Believe” sequel. The “Dark Knight” took in $26 million this weekend which makes it a total of $441.5 million domestically. This makes the “Dark Knight” no. 3 in the domestic charts which is right behind “Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith” and “Titanic”.

Thought: While “The Dark Knight” may not top “Titanic”, I have a feeling “Twilight” just might…

Leave a comment

This movie “Twilight” a romantic teen vampire film adapted from the popular young adult novel written by Stephenie Meyer, just may have a chance of topping “Titanic” in box office domestically if “The Dark Knight” doesn’t.

Everytime I read about “Twilight”, I become even more anticipated in the film. The story sounds very interesting. I am also liking how the cast of the film is full of unknown actors. Actors that we never know about.

Stephenie Meyer just released the final “Twilight” book of the series, titled “BreakIng Dawn” and that book seems to be creating a lot of controversy. The “Twilight” film has created a huge internet buzz. Much larger than “The Dark Knight”.

You think, why is this movie about a teenage girl falling in love with a vampire? You may think, that story is so stupid and nothing new. If you know vampires as well as I do, that’s the whole point of vampires. Vampire stories are mostly love, romance and women. Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” is a perfect example of this. The same goes for Nosferatu and Anne Rice’s “Interview with the Vampire” series.

The film “Twilight” hits theaters December 12th and I will be there to see it. I am glad that vampires are finally making a return to the movie industry.

Don’t worry folks, “Titanic” will be off the list as the number one movie in the world soon since box office movies are getting much higher these days. You just never know what movie will top “Titanic”. I just think “Twilight” may be the one.

Variety reports that “The Dark Knight” made a sky rocketing $300 million so far. “The Dark Knight” is “still” filling up theaters. The theater was full the second time I saw it in theater again.

Lets pray that “The Dark Knight” passes 600 million to knock “Titanic” off of there!

That would be amazing!

As this is no surprise, “The Dark Knight” broke world records in box office for last night’s midnight showing of the film. This is the first film to make the most on a midnight opening movie. “The Dark Knight” made 18.5 million on it’s midnight showing, beating “Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith”.

I’ll be seeing this movie later tonight at a late night showing. I’ll be going to the Wilton Mall tonight at the 10:20 showing. I got out of work early today and have to wait for my sister to get out of work tonight. I’ll be going with my sister to see it.

Can’t frigging wait! The wait for the “Dark Knight” to come out in theater is FINALLY over! WOOT! This movie will probably end up being the best film of the year.

At work today, my co-workers were talking about this movie all day ’cause they went to the midnight showing last night. Look out for a review when I get back home tonight.

Report: “Wall-E” beats “Wanted” in Box Office this weekend…

Leave a comment

It was quite a competition in the box office this weekend between two huge movies. One was Pixar’s “Wall-E” an animated movie about a robot and the other was the action film “Wanted” starring Angelina Jolie. Both films pretty much broke world records in sales, however “Wall-E” beat out “Wanted” stealing the no. 1 spot this weekend. “Wall-E” made 62.5 million while “Wanted” made 51.1 million.

The Associates Press reports:

While “Wanted” didn’t make no. 1 it is still a huge hit, so that’s great news for Angie. This is Angie’s biggest hit in a long time. I plan to see “Wanted” this week on a day off of work.

I do want to see “Wall-E” too but I’ll wait for DVD on that one.

Report: “Get Smart” tops the box office this weekend!

2 Comments

“Get Smart” a new comedy starring Steve Carell, Dwayne Johnson and Anne Hathaway, surprisingly tops the box office. It didn’t break any world records but it did well. “Get Smart” made $39.2 million while Mike Myers new movie “The Love Guru” pretty much flopped. M. Night Shyamalan’s new movie “The Happening” also flopped big time.

It’s about time Steve Carell got a successful comedy since the “40 Year Old Virgin” eh?

The Associated Press reports:

I have plans of going to the movies tomorrow on my day off of work and I’m thinking about seeing “Get Smart” don’t know. I also want to see “The Incredible Hulk” and “You Don’t Mess With the Zohan” so I’ll make up my mind tomorrow when I decide something. I’ll let you know what I see by reviewing the film.

Report: The Incredible Hulk does well in box office this week…

Leave a comment

“The Incredible Hulk” starring Edward Norton did a whopping $54.5 million on it’s opening weekend. It did not top Ang Lee’s version of “Hulk” but still the Ed Norton version did well.

The Associated Press Reports:

http://apnews.excite.com/article/20080615/D91ALNU00.html

I plan to see it soon, it’s been getting positive reviews that this version is much better than the crap Ang Lee version.

Plus, the main reason why I want to see it is because my favorite actor Ed Norton is in it. It’s about time he’s got a huge role, it’s been a long time coming. That man has been an underrated actor for years and he’s been struggling, it’s about time he’s got the star power recognition he deserves! I love all of Ed Norton’s movies, yep, I’m a loyal fan of his work. “American History X” and “Fight Club” are two of his best films.
