Samuel Mutha Fuckin’ Jackson Breaks Into U.S. Box Office

M. P. — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 19:09:00 +0000

It was a winning weekend at the box office for Neil Labute’s racially tense thriller, “Lakeview Terrace.” The film starring Samuel L. Jackson made $15.6 million. The film and its success might signal the deathknell of LaBute’s creative career, but perhaps the beginning of a commercial one? Either way, it has to be seen as some sort of comeback after the remake of 2006’s “The Wicker Man,” which was universally laughed at from audiences and critics alike (a film so excruciatingly bad, it’s earned itself an ironist cult following).

Hooah! Hollywood mega stars Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino are so pleased with their partnership in “Righteous Kill” that they are already talking about working together again in the near future. Pacino told the British radio station Heart that he and Bob want to do a movie where they act in drag and play sisters in a comedy. A live action film about Marge Simpson’s sisters, Patty and Selma perhaps? Highly doubtful and unfortunate. Pacino says: “It’s a great idea.

The American Box Office has finally recovered from a stretch of unsuccessful weekends with a huge turnaround. The Coen Brothers’ CIA comedy, “Burn After Reading,” caught fire with audiences, earning more than $19.4 million, making it the number one film of the weekend. It was the biggest opening weekend for a Coen Brothers film ever (the picture to beat was “The Ladykillers” which had earned $12.6 million previously).

On its tail, was Tyler Perry’s “Tyler Perry’s The Family That Preys.” The film made over $18 million.

Nicolas Cage’s Hair Tops Worst American Box Office In Seven Years

M. P. — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 16:55:00 +0000

The U.S. Box office was a disgrace yet again this weekend. In fact it was the slowest movie weekend in seven years, according to studio estimates from the AP. “Bangkok Dangerous” won the top spot with a mere $7.8 million. The Pang Brother’s movie beat out no new competition making it number one and beat the three time weekend winner, “Tropic Tunder” by a hair from Nicolas Cage’s head. Were starting to think that Cage himself doesn’t star in these things, but his tacky haircuts.

Short Cuts: Scarlett Johnansson, Natalie & Devendra In A Tree, Pacino & DeNiro Lose It

So we found some Scarlett Johansson tracks a week or so ago, but they got pulled. AOL now has their hands on the exclusive of “Falling Down,” that features that old dude David Bowie. We still haven’t really changed or opinion on the entire album; it’s a little sub-par, with predictable tinkerbell production from TVOTR’s Dave Sitek (he makes everyone sound the same). Though the music isn’t all that bad sometimes the main problem is Scarjo’s unremarkable meh voice.
