Box Office: Weekend Review
February 5-7
For those of you wondering why the delay on the Box Office review, I was just too tired last night after watching “Dear John” 12 times this weekend so it could knock off “Avatar”. Okay, we all know that is not true. I was actually enjoying a long relaxing day watching the Super Bowl [...]

Trailer Watch: “The Last Airbender” Super Bowl ad
One of the great things about the Super Bowl is the action during the commercials – including movie teasers – and we will have a real treat this Sunday when watching the Super Bowl on those HD TVs. “The Last Airbender” Super Bowl ad is the beginning of M.

It seems Hollywood is having a hard time coming up with original material, and Dealine.com received news of another reboot.

Drum roll please…..oh, forget it. Avatar reigns over the Box Office for the seventh consecutive week. The big news is that Avatar has now crossed the 2 billion dollar mark in internal and domestic gross sales.

Trailer Watch: The Losers
I love a good comic book movie as much as the next fan-boy, and The Losers will probably be no different. The Losers, from DC Comics, follows an ex-CIA black ops team as they chase down the person who wanted to assassinate them.
This is a different take on the comic book genre, and I am [...]
Trailer Watch: Polanski’s The Ghost Writer (US trailer)
Despite what you think actually happened between Polanski and an underage minor in 1977, and regardless of your opinion about Polanski skipping the country to avoid a prison term, you probably have watched and enjoyed many Polanski films over the years. Chinatown is a masterpiece, and together with the Pianist, are my favorites from Polanski, [...]
Trailer Watch: Wall Street 2 Money Never Sleeps teaser trailer

The movie will be released on April 23rd.
Check out the trailer below and let [...]
