As expected, The Other Guys knocked off reigning champ Inception this weekend to top the box office race. The fourth collaboration between Will Ferrell and director Adam McKay tallied $35.6M to almost double the take of the dreamy thriller ($18.6M | $227.7M). The loss of the ultra-hot Brianna Evigan spelled doom for Step 3-D which earned a disappointing $15.5M. That was still enough to beat Salt ($11.1M | $91.9M) and the depressingly bad Dinner for Schmucks ($10.5M | $46.7M). more ›

I know Will Ferrell and Adam McKay are considered by most to be sort of old-hat by now, but I'm still excited to see The Other Guys. Obviously, Anchorman is a modern classic and Step Brothers is a daffy, surreal piece of brilliance. I don't expect as much from The Other Guys, but it should still be fun. I'm boycotting Step Up 3-D due to the absence of Brianna Evigan. Sorry, but Middle Men just looks boring. Luke Wilson's perfected disinterest works in a film like The Royal Tennenbaums, but here he just looks bored. more ›

It marks a sad state of affairs when the horrible Bride Wars is the "big" DVD release of the week. I get that Kate Hudson does this sort of crap to bankroll her extravagant lifestyle, but I thought better of Anne Hathaway. Annie, please get back to doing things like Rachel Getting Married! Or, better yet, Havoc! All that said, I'd probably still rather watch Bride Wars than Hotel for Dogs. Nothing but the Truth got whacked when its distributor went bankrupt. It's definitely worth a look on DVD. Another quality flick is JCVD where Jean-Claude finally proves that -- yes -- he can be a pretty good actor (especially when making light of himself). more ›

Dismal "comedy" Paul Blart: Mall Cop tricked thousands of Americans into buying tickets as it easily topped the weekend box office chart ($33.8M). Last week's champ Gran Torino had another strong week ($22.2M/$73.2M) as it held off three new releases: the bloody My Bloody Valentine 3-D ($21.9M), the bloody Notorious ($21.5M) and the bloody Hotel for Dogs ($17.7M). The second half of the top 10 was led by the awful Bride Wars ($11.7M/$37.5M) which bested the amazing Odette Yustman's The Unborn ($9.8M/$33M). more ›

My Bloody Valentine 3D marks a welcome return of the standard horror elements of gore and nudity. Say it with me, America: no more PG-13 horror films! Since I am firmly in the 2Pac camp, I will not be spending money to see Notorious. Is it possible for Kevin James to star in something less funny than King of Queens? His new film Paul Blart: Mall Cop would seem to argue, "Yes!" Hotel for Dogs is strictly for kids and fans of dog culture (and pervs who are into Emma Roberts). Chandni Chowk to China is proof that not all foreign films are good. more ›
