Apr 14 2008 'Prom Night' is Prom King! (Of the Weekend Box Office!)
1. Prom Night - After nearly doubling the profits of its closest competitor with a $22.7 million weekend, I'm ready to concede to the rest of the committee: fine, maybe Slasher Horror was a better Prom Night theme than A Night Beneath the Stars.
2. Street Kings - Coming in a distant second with $12 million, apparently being king of the streets doesn't translate to being king of the box office! Or king of anything else, for that matter. Just the streets.
3. 21 - Falling to $11 million, I'll now likely never get the chance to point how funny and coincidental it is that a movie named 21 made $21 million in a weekend.
4. Nim's Island - $9 million, and I just realized they're pretending "Nim" is a legitimate name. No it isn't. Is it?
5. Leatherheads - A weak $6.2 million leads me to believe there may be a smaller cross-over group between "romantic comedy fans" and "old fashioney football fans" than originally thought.

Feb 14 2008 'Street Kings' Poster is Really Street-Arty
Way to go, Street Kings, capitalizing on the same vomiting splash of pseudo-graffiti that Comedy Central tried to exploit a few years back. Street Kings will definitely be the edgiest drag king prostitute movie in years.

Feb 11 2008 'Street Kings' Trailer is 'Straight Nightmare,' Says Common
Here's how to make your very own Street Kings trailer: for every time Keanu Reeves says something ridiculously clichéd and completely predictable ("[Your nickname is] Quicks? Not quick enough," for example), add about ten to twenty shots of guns. Using this simple technique, you'll be surprised how easily you're able to pull together a minute-and-a-half of something that resembles a movie.
Also, Common is no longer allowed to act. Ever.
(Thanks Joe and Kyle)

Feb 6 2008 'Night Watchman' Now Titled 'Street Kings'!
Attention! Amend your plans to see the Keanu Reeves cop drama, The Night Watchman! Reportedly out of concern it would be confused with Zack Snyder's Watchmen comic adaptation (personally, I'd be more worried it sounds like a Night at the Museum sequel), the film has been retitled Street Kings. This way people will just think it's a drag king prostitute movie.
