Apr 6 2009 Fast/Furious Combination Still Successful

fast-furious-vin-diesel.jpg

1. Fast and Furious - $72.5 million? That's ridiculous. I swear, it's like no one's seen Vin Diesel drive a sweet car before.

2. Monsters vs. Aliens - $33.5 million, a 44% drop since last week, probably in response to the lackluster ending. The monsters using a laptop to upload a virus into the alien mothership was pretty far fetched. If Macs and PCs aren't even fully compatible, what are the chances we could plug in a Powerbook and upload a functioning virus?

3. The Haunting in Connecticut - $9.6 million. It's just so hard to take a haunting in Connecticut seriously when we now know Connecticut's greatest threat is its psychotic ape population.

4. Knowing - I am slightly disappointed that Adventureland only made $6 million but Nicolas Cage-predicts-disasters-with-numbers still pulled in $8.1 million in its third week. Such is Cage's power.

5. I Love You, Man - Male-on-male non-sexual affection earns another $7.9 million.

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.

haunting-connecticut-anim-p.jpg

Lionsgate has released an ANIMATED POSTER for The Haunting in Connecticut, and you will just not believe what comes out of this kid's mouth, in Connecticut. Unless you've seen any of the previous promotional material for Haunting in Connecticut. In that case, you'll not only believe it, you'll be tired of how often you've seen ghost puke come out of this kid's mouth. Does any other haunting even happen in this film, in Connecticut? Sometimes it doesn't seem like it.

Anyway, here it is:

Oct 16 2008 This Trailer is Haunted, and also in Connecticut

haunting-in-connecticut-tra.jpg

The trailer to The Haunting in Connecticut has been released, and I'm a bit disappointed. Sure, there was plenty of haunting, but where was all the Connecticut? I saw a ghost watching television, but nothing of the historic lighthouse and nature preserve on Sheffield Island. There was a ghost prematurely spoiling fresh fruit, but not a sign of Foxwoods Resort Casino, the world's largest gaming facility. A ghost vomiting cotton candy in zero G, yet not a hint of Yale's famous campus or the Peabody Museum of Natural History, home of a 67-foot brontosaurus. I'm just saying, if I'm promised a haunting in Connecticut, I want a haunting IN CONNECTICUT.

Oct 15 2008 Poster for 'The Haunting!' (Also, This Particular Haunting is in Connecticut)

haunting-in-connecticut-pos.jpg

"Haunting this weekend, guys! Should be sweet. Where is it, you asked? Well... that the thing: it's in Connecticut. I know, I know, no one wants to make the trip out to Connecticut just for a haunting, but I hear this is going to be a really awesome haunting, with a lot of girls. Who's with me? We can just take the Metro-North out, and as long as we leave early we should get back at a reasonable hour. And look, we went to that haunting in Long Island last week just because you thought that one ghost was into you, and that was terrible, so let's just go to this haunting in Connecticut, and if it sucks we leave, OK?"
