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.

Sep 23 2008 'Notorious' Teaser Reminiscent of Correlation Between Money, Problems

If you haven't yet honored the memory of Notorious B.I.G. today, have I got just the thing for you: the teaser trailer for his biopic, Notorious. Finally, something that provides all the exhilarating Biggie glimpses of a ride on Coney Island's Polar Express without forcing him to share the spotlight equally with Tupac and a polar bear DJ.*

*Though I miss and respect Biggie, Tupac, and polar bear DJ to equal degrees.
