Sep 22 2008People Were Loving 'Lakeview Terrace' This Weekend
People paid to see these movies over the weekend:
1. Lakeview Terrace - $15.6 million. Maybe we should start making every Lifetime Original Movie concept into a Samuel L. Jackson film.
2. Burn After Reading - $11.3 million--the best take ever for a movie about ocular chlamydia.
3. My Best Friend's Girl - Congratulations, Dane Cook, you got people to pay you for playing an even worse version of yourself again. ($8.3 million)
4. Igor - Sorry, Igor 2: HumpBack 2 the Castle, you just got cancelled. ($8 million)
5. Righteous Kill - $7.7 million. That's fine, though. The studios will make all their money in merchandising when Righteous Kill shirts become the Scarface shirts for the old, retired thug crowd.

I saw "Burn After Reading." They should have named it "Burn Before Seeing." There were a few funny moments, but overall a dud.

How about "Burn Everyone Involved"
By the way, Brad Pitt supports gay marriage, now we can sleep at night.
