Cars is the # 1 movie in America again

"Cars" managed to stay on top of the box office despite a solid showing by Jack Black's comedy, "Nacho Libre" which debuted this week.
The "Fast and the Furious, Tokyo Drift" also new this weekend, was in third place and the sappy Sandra Bullock/Keanu Reeves flick, "The Lake House" debuted in fourth place.
The absolutely dreadful, unfunny movie, "The Break-Up" continues to rake in money. This is sooo disappointing! Who wants to sit through two hours of bickering? I don't care if it is Vince Vaughn - all of the funny moments he has were shown to death in the previews we've seen months ago. The fact that the so-called writers just inked a $2 million deal for another script they sold is an affront to real screenwriters everywhere.

June 16 to 18
1. Cars - Buena Vista - $31.2 million
2. Nacho Libre - Paramount - $27.5 million
3. Fast and the Furious 3 - Universal - $24.1 million

Shiloh is adorable


Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and their adorable baby, Shiloh.

That baby is going to be gorgeous!

She has her dad's eyes and her mom's lips! Lucky!

This photo should put to rest the rumors that Angie had any work done especially to her lips (unlike Jennifer Maniston who had tons of work done on her face and elsewhere and still doesn't look half as good as Jolie).

Happy Birthday Angelina!


Angelina Jolie, arguably one of the most beautiful women in the world (without plastic surgery), turns 31 years old today!

Hope you have a great day with Brad and the kids.

The Break Up is # 1


Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Maniston's movie, "The Break-Up" managed to be the number one movie this weekend despite scathing reviews and a few funny scenes wrapped around a bad movie and a bad actress.

It's no wonder - Universal Studios spent a ton of money marketing the heck out of it. I wonder when they'll break even. The official budget is $52 million but I'm guessing they spent another $20 to $30 million marketing it.

I also think movie audiences are starved for funny movies like last year's "Wedding Crashers" even though this movie is nowhere near as funny. We all know Maniston can't act so fans must have wanted to see the always funny, VV. None of Maniston's movies have done well at the box office so again I think the draw was good ol' Vince. Baby Shiloh may have helped too with all the publicity. You should be thankful Jen and send a gift!

XMen 3 managed to rake in over $175 million in two weeks - no blockbuster movie has done as well thus far. (Good for Fox and for Brett Rattner).
MI3 has earned $122 million in five weeks
Over the Hedge $112 million in three weeks
The Da Vinci Code $172 million in three weeks

June 2 to 4*
1. The Break-Up - $38 million
2. XMen 3 - $34.4 million
3. Over the Hedge - $20.6 million
4. The Da Vinci Code - $19.3 million
5. MI3 - $4.7 million
