Movies coming out this week!
Old Dogs - Ben (Williams) is a successful businessman whose professional and personal life is altered when an old flame re-enteres his life -- with her two children (twins!) in tow. Finding himself temporarily in charge of their welfare, he enlists his best friend and colleague (Travolta) to co-parent.
The Road - A father (Mortensen) and son (Smit-McPhee) walk for months across a ravaged, post-apocalyptic landscape in search of civilization.

Most dangerous to them both is Takeshi (Yune), Raizo's former ally and the assassin leading the charge of Ozunu killers to Berlin.

As I previously posted, "New Moon" shattered lots of opening day records, but it has settled in third place for highest grossing weekend (it sits behind "Dark Knight" and "Spider-Man 3").
Dang...that means "New Moon" beat out the opening weekend of "Transformers 2" by $32 million. This is a very high number for a film not coming out over the summer.
*GASP* But "Eclipse" does...
To those of you who hate the "Twilight" franchise and want to decry this as some sort of referendum on pop culture: I reject your argument. The film is probably excellent for those who read and enjoyed the books. It wasn't fun for anyone that hadn't.
Seeing as how I am not a fan of the books, I just say that the movie is good for people who are. And since I know someone who has seen it three times already...well...yeah...
"The Blind Side" actually opened very well and I think might be Sandra Bullocks best opening for any of her films. I will have to check the numbers on that fact.
Other films fill the rest of the slots, with "2012" still causing destruction and "Planet 51" pulling in the little kiddies.
What about next weekend? Will the vampire/werewolf/human love triangle conquer all or will it plummet, letting other films take the spotlight? We'll have to wait and see.

Red Band Trailer for 'Funny People'
Universal has debuted a new red band trailer for Judd Apatow's "Funny People" that will also be showing in front of "Bruno" this weekend.
It asks for your age...so put it in to watch the trailer. You know you have to be 18, so if you aren't and put in a different date...how am I supposed to know?
When seasoned comedian George Simmons learns of his terminal health condition, his desire to form a genuine friendship causes him to take a relatively green performer under his wing as his opening act.
"Funny People" is both written and directed by comedy mastermind Judd Apatow, of "40 Year Old Virgin" and "Knocked Up," as well as the TV show "Freaks and Geeks." The story in the film is inspired by Apatow's own real life experiences.
Over the past few years, Apatow has shown that nothing, not even losing your virginity or the miracle of childbirth, is sacred. What will happen next in his new film?
"Funny People" hits theaters July 31.
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
