This Weekend @ the Boxoffice: 2008.Jan.28

[Hand of Evil]

Well, Meet the Spartans kicked Rambo into the pit, taking number 1 in a not as close a race as you may think, Rambo was on 700 more screens but sold 800 less tickets/screen. The high, bloody and graphic nature of Rambo limited it. (as many heads that exploded, it could have been a zombie movie!)

Sigh. This will only encourage them to make more of this unfunny crap.

I have my doubts they need a whole lot of encouragement regardless of the box office take.

I thought the movie was funny at first, but it got old really quick. My friend and I had been debating on whether to see Meet the Spartans or Untraceable. We had been in the mood for a comedy. Regretfully, we both wished we had seen Untraceable, we agreed as we left the theatre.

On the other hand, Juno has made $100 million, and that movie was damn good, so maybe there's some hope, anyway.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

I finally get to see National Treasure either Wednesday or Thursday! Yay!

 

[Krug]

Crazy fall for Cloverfield, but I doubt if Paramount is complaining.

Crazy fall for Cloverfield, but I doubt if Paramount is complaining.

Especially as the movie as already made it's money back and then some.

Maybe it's a case of too many people complaining about the shaky-cam...
