Mar 30 2009 'Monsters vs. Aliens' Had a Great Weekend, Thanks for Asking
1. Monsters vs. Aliens - $58.2 million That expensive 3-D SuperBowl ad seems to have worked out better for Monsters vs. Aliens than it did for whatever Sobe drink those geckos were dancing about.
2. The Haunting in Connecticut - $23 million. Connecticut is to this haunting as New York is to Seinfeld. Believe it.
3. Knowing - $14.7 million. Come on, down to third place in it second week? Do you guys not realize how often Nicolas Cage gives intense, dumbfounded stares in this one? You need to keep seeing it every weekend if we're going to make it our national movie.
4. I Love You, Man - $12.6 million, BRO.
5. Duplicity - $7.6 million, meaning this film is officially not successful enough to warrant creating a cute combination nickname for the hypothetical coupling of Julia Roberts and Clive Owen.

Mar 23 2009 Audiences Just Knew to See 'Knowing'
Your weekend box office results:
1. Knowing - The proven formula of Nicolas Cage running around with a really, really concerned look has paid off yet again: $24.8 million.
2. I Love You, Man - $18 million--a fairly lucrative weekend for bromance, if bromance is a term you use and track the success of.
3. Duplicity - $14.4 million. An American spy played by an attractive American star in a love affair with a British spy played by an attractive British actor is too intriguing a concept not to see (except when obligated to first see the new Nic Cage movie).
4. Race to Witch Mountain - $13 million. Poll: would you rather... a) race to Witch Mountain? b) take your time and enjoy each others company to Witch Mountain. c) don't care.
5. Watchmen - $6.7 million. This is probably my last chance for a really good "Who Watches the Watchmen" joke, and I've got nothing.

Feb 3 2009 Inter-Football Movie Ads: The Rest of Them
So, I didn't get to all the Super Bowl ads yesterday. Sorry. But in the spirit of never fully betraying you, here are the rest of them, including spots for Year One, Up, Angels & Demons, Fast & Furious, and Duplicity. I suggest only watching the clips for Year One, which has some promise. Unless you're my dad--then clear off the edge of your seat and watch Angels & Demons. This promises to be as taut a thriller as "The Code"! Or if you're a car, watch Fast & Furious.
