Jan 19 2009 Paul Blart: Best Movie
Our best movies this previous weekend were:
1. Paul Blart: Mall Cop - $31.8 million. So that's why everyone was giving me friendly waves at my night job...
2. Gran Torino - $22 million, still astounding for a movie marketed entirely on scowling, finger guns, and a few actual guns.
3. My Bloody Valentine 3-D - $21.3 million. Expect commercials proclaiming it "the number 3-D movie in the country!"
4. Notorious - $20.5 million, 20.5 million problems! (Like that one song of the three Notorious B.I.G. hits I know.)
5. Hotel for Dogs - $17 million. What's this one about again? I forget exactly what the premise is.

Oct 23 2008 'My Bloody Valentine 3D' Must Be Scary to Make Audiences React That Way!
What the hell happened, My Bloody Valentine 3D? Your first poster was clean (besides the blood), minimalist, well-designed, and kind of creepy. What is this, selling it like a Universal Studios ride? You can't even tell it's a horror movie. With the generic three-dimensional font and prominent pick axe, this could just as easily be an IMAX documentary about the excitement of mining.
All this poster says to me is, "Look, we aren't going to make any claims about the quality or content of this movie. However, we can promise that things definitely appear to emerge from the screen, and if you're lucky, in some cases there might be a girl in a low-cut shirt in the audience that you can surreptitiously check out while she's distracted by the weapon headed towards her idiot boyfriend's crotch." Even at my most desperate, I'd at least need to know there would definitely be a low-cut shirt girl in the audience before heading out.
Quiz: Can YOU spot Tom Cruise amongst the frightened audience members?
