5 Actors who are/aren't now kicking themselves



CNN posted an article about five roles that were make or break deals for actors and who let them get away. It's interesting and eye opening to what some of our favorite movies would've been like if the first choice had agreed to the films. Reading the article is better than a summarization but just as a little hint could you imagine Cary Grant as the first James Bond instead of Sean Connery?

Lyrics of the Year

Max Payne now #1


As predicted below Chihuahua couldn't withstand Payne but who can blame the pup? Here are this weeks box office numbers:
  1. Max Payne $18 Mill
  2. Beverly Hills Chihuahua $11.2
  3. The Secret Life of Bees $11.1
  4. W. $10.6
  5. Eagle Eye $7.3
  6. Body of Lies $6.9
  7. Quarantine $6.3
  8. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist $3.9
  9. Sex Drive $3.6
  10. Nights in Rodanthe $2.7
Looks like even a funny poster isn't enough to help silly comedies like Sex Drive bring in audiences, but at least it made it on the Top 10 list.

Chihuahua 3 weeks in a row?....probably not


So Beverly Hills Chihuahua is getting pretty comfortable at the #1 spot now for two weeks but it is unlikely that it will stay there much longer. Here are the films opening up this weekend that are sure to topple it right down:
  1. Max Payne
  2. The Secret Life of Bees
  3. W.
  4. Sex Drive
  5. What Just Happened
I put them in the order of my recommendation, Enjoy!

An Adult Muppet Movie on its Way....


So it sounds like its going to be pornographic, but that's not exactly what Jim Henson co. is going for. Apparently they are creating a movie called Happytime Murders, a murder mystery film with the muppets that isn't for children...think Who Framed Roger Rabbit....how will it turn out? Well I grew up loving the muppets so I for one am welcoming it, plus Miss Piggy always was a bit too raunchy for children in my opinion. More news is sure to come!
