Tween girls must be going nuts right now. Last week was "Hannah Montana" and this week Zac Effron. My god...what would happen if those two started dating?

Cue the sound of the world suddenly imploding from tween girls screaming.

"Monsters vs. Aliens" reached $250 million worldwide this past weekend while "Fast and Furious" reached $227 million. "MvA" has a budget of $175 million while "FaF" had a budget of $85 million. Which made a better profit?

"Crank 2" wasn't screened for the press so word did not get out on the film at all. Bad call because it was a really fun movie.

Other films are starting to peter out to the bottom because the major summer blockbusters are around the corner. Next weekend has movies coming out, but we all know we are looking at May to start off summer.
