Clint Eastwood makes it to #1, showing that movie audiences prefer the old-school action heroes to the new ones. Ol' Clint has a lot of great movies under his belt.
Other movies just round out the bunch really. "Unborn" and "Bride Wars" had a decent opening weekend, but that is really all they will have. They will drop fast just like "Benjamin Button," "Bedtime Stories" and "Seven Pounds" are.
This week has some more movies coming out, but none that I am really looking forward to.
