'G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra' Falls Behind In This Week's Box Office Poll

Posted 8/7/09 7:00 pm EST by in Box Office Poll


G.I. Joe: The Rise of CobraWe now return you to your regularly scheduled programming. Sort of. Twitter-Wood and Around the Blogosphere will not be seen today; Warmoth is out and I'm too bummed about the late John Hughes to start digging through a Blogosphere's worth of remembrances. Normally I'd try to fill Warmoth's giant Twitter-Wood shoes, but the outpouring of grief today is pretty impressive. Then again, it's not everyday a living legend passes from our midst.

Something incredible happened with this week's Box Office Poll. Not only did the clear blockbuster favorite for the week not take the top prize, it was pretty much crushed by the second place winner. I don't get it either. Did the controversy really deter so many people? Enough vagaries! More to come after the break. Read More...

Posted 8/3/09 2:00 pm EST by in Box Office Poll


GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra"G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" is the big-ticket item this week, but it is far from your only option. The two other wide releases are joined by a trio of attention-worthy limited openings. In short, there's a lot of good stuff on tap for this weekend. So start planning for multiple trips to the theater now.

First up of course is "Joe." I saw it on Saturday. Shhhhh! You know how there's been some negative buzz following it around, along with a dash of controversy? Forget the hype, forget the controversy. Sommers deserved the gig, and he did a great job. The trailers and clips have totally undersold this movie. "Joe" fans of old: buy your tickets now. Remember-- knowing is half the battle.

David Twohy To Take Hemsworth, Jovovich, Olyphant And Zahn Away On A 'Perfect Getaway'

Posted 5/28/09 4:30 pm EST by in News, Video


I love me some David Twohy. Dude definitely has some clunkers in his portfolio -- I'm looking at you, "Waterworld." I don't care though. He wrote and directed "Pitch Black," which also means that Vin Diesel's Richard B. Riddick character is Twohy's creation. He also wrote classics along the lines of "Warlock," "Critters 2: The Main Course" and a little-known movie called "The Fugitive."

Now Twohy has climbed back into the writer/director's chair after an extended post-"Chronicles of Riddick" break. "A Perfect Getway," starring Chris Hemsworth (aka Kenneth Branagh's Thor), Milla Jovovich, Timothy Olyphant and Steve Zahn, follows a newlywed couple (Zahn and Jovovich) who are off on a hiking honeymoon in Hawaii. Somewhere along the trails they run into some shady hikers and... well... things get weird. Check out the new trailer to see for yourself.
