“Kung Fu Panda” breaks box office records this weekend with a whopping $60 million. Beating out “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan”, “Indy 4” and “Sex and the City”. Must be a great weekend for Jack Black, Angelina and Dustin Hoffman!

People just love going to the movies on Memorial Day weekend! Indy 4 scored $25 million on opening day yesterday. That is higher than “Prince Caspian” and “Iron Man” ever made on opening day. Could Indy 4 actually top world records over James Cameron’s “Titanic”? It’s possible.

I still haven’t seen Indy 4 yet, but I definitely will this weekend. I will review it of couse.
Since this film got a lot of mixed reviews, I hope I like it. I probably will although I don’t think it will be the best Indy film.

The new “Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” topped “Iron Man” just like I predicted. “Prince Caspian” started off pretty quietly and not making a lot of money Friday but picked up pretty quickly over the weekend. “Prince Caspian” beat down “Iron man” in world records.

I’ll be seeing “Prince Caspian” tomorrow afternoon on my day off of work. I can’t wait to see it.
I just love the first movie “The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe”, such a beautiful and perfect movie. I watched “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” on DVD last week and the film still amazes me. I think the Chronicles of Narnia series is the best live action movie Disney made by far. And I’m sure I’m gonna love “Prince Caspian”. “Prince Caspian” got a PG rating and it’s very rare that Disney movies get that kind of rating because of all the violence in the film. I hear it’s a very violent film. I’m really looking forward to seeing “Prince Caspian”.

“Iron Man” still stays strong on the no. 1 spot for box office this weekend. “Speed Racer” starring Emile Kirsch is no. 2 making around 20 million.

“Iron Man” won’t be no. 1 much longer since “Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” came out this weekend. “Prince Caspian” will indeed beat “Iron Man” in world records. I will be seeing “Prince Caspian” tomorrow on my day off of work.
Oh yeah, speaking of “Iron Man”, I picked up the video game version of “Iron Man” for the PS3 at Best Buy today. I won’t play the game right away though, I need to beat “Grand Theft Auto IV” first before I start to play any other games. I think I’m officially addicted to videogames again. I don’t buy music CD’s or movies on DVD’s much anymore ’cause I’ve gotten back into videogames. I went out shopping with parents this afternoon since it’s Mother’s Day and all so I decided to go to Best Buy ’cause I couldn’t resist in buying something for myself.

The film “Iron Man” scored a sky rocketing $100.7 million in the box office this weekend. That’s fuckin’ impressive!
Also, the movie the “Son of Rambow” a film about two kids making their own Rambo film scored pretty high even if the movie was shown in only 5 theaters in the U.S., “Son of Rambow” made $52,549. Not bad for a film that was only playing in selected theaters. It’s very rare that a small movie like that scores high in box office. But hey, keep in mind it’s a movie adapted from the real “Rambo”. And “Rambo” is always the king of box office so….

I’m happy for Robert Downey Jr. that he’s staying off the drugs and staying out of trouble, the guy is looking real good these days too. This is definitely his biggest film in his entire career ever.
I’ll see “Iron Man” soon myself, I’ll see it later in the week.

George Clooney’s third directorial film “Leatherheads” dissapoints Hollywood movies by only making 13.5 million tying it up with Jodie Foster’s “Nim’s Island”. “21” a film about gambling in casinos starring Kevin Spacey tops with a 15.1 million.

Not very good in my opinion. Such a shame. I’ve been wanting to see Clooney’s “Leatherheads”, looks like a good flick. I’ve always been a big Clooney fan, I love his acting and his movies.
But don’t worry folks, May is just around the corner when Indiana Jones starts hitting the big screen, Indy will make box office history indeed.

Owen Wilson’s new movie “Drillbit Taylor” flopped in the box office, making it to No. 4 with a 10.4 million budget, it made the top 5 but not so good money wise. According to reports, they assume that his suicide attempt is the reason for the movie that flopped. That’s a horrible way to think of that in my opinion.
The reason that the movie “flopped” is because I think the movie simply looks “no good”, the movie looks like crap whether it has Owen Wilson in it or not. It has nothing to do with the suicide attempt.

Even if Heath Ledger is gone, that is gonna help make “The Dark Knight” the highest selling movie of all times, not beating out “Titanic” but it could be close.
Never blame movies that bombed ’cause of a celebrity death or a suicide.
It’s just wrong.
