I'm just happy that the remake of "The Fog" is no longer # 1

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Barring A History of Violence that is unquestionably the worst top ten of the year.

[2GOLD 0]

Shocked people didn't go see North Country...I mean, I'm not going, but I'm shocked other people didn't.

[SuperJerk 0]

I'm surprised Elizabethtown isn't doing better.

 

 

Okay, no I'm not.

[Pegasus Kid 0]

DOOM! HAHAHAHA!

 

OK it got my money too. I'm a horrible human being.

 

North Country isn't going to do jack in money until Oscar nomination re-release when everyone will have to see Theron's performance.

 

Fuck Elizabethtown; I'm being dragged to that this coming Friday night.

Hell, E-Town is only being received with lukewarm reviews from people in Louisville and the E-Town area. Sure, people like me who went to U of L will mark out when seeing the big "UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE" on the silos near campus (this is when Bloom arrives here in the film) but if you're not from the area the film will be a bit ponderous.

[Guest Fishyswa]

How many #1 opening weekend's is that for Rock? Did Be Cool open at #1?

[Hank Kingsley 0]

No, it was behind Vin Diesel starring in The Pacifier.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Um, Wallace and Gromit is without doubt the best film on that list.

[Dr. Zaius 0]

Fuck Elizabethtown

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I would, but only because apparently Kirsten Dunst lives there.

[Lil' Bitch 0]

Glad to see The Rock back on top.

[TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Mummy Returns, Scorpion King, Rundown & Doom opened #1. Be Cool opened #2. Walking Tall was lik #4 or so.

[Sass 0]

The Rock needs a better agent, really.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

I've heard from some pretty reputable movie fans that "A History of Violence" is "awful, totally oblivious to a real plot, and stupid" and also "brutal, raw, and terrific".

 

Can someone give an honest review?

[Mole 0]

Rock has the best career for a wrestler outside of wrestling. He'll keep on getting roles because he is a decent draw.

 

He is doing fine for himself.

[2GOLD 0]

The Rock needs a better agent, really.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

The sad thing was hearing he signed the contract to do DOOM before he talked to the director about the film. I was like, "yeah, stop doing that".

One of these days he is going to be starring in a Uwe Boll movie.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Doom's probably worse than House of the Dead.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Too right.

 

"A History of Violence" isn't a bad film but Wallace and Gromit is far superior.

[2GOLD 0]

Doom's probably worse than House of the Dead.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Only thing worse than House of the Dead is Alone in the Dark.

[Guest Fishyswa]

Rock's actually doing great. The movie was panned in every paper here and yet in each review someone had something positive to say about him.

 

I don't care if the four movies were Revenge of the Nerds 5, Garfield, War at Home the Movie, and Feldman and Haim: The UnAuthorized Biography, being able to say you've had 4 movies open at #1 is a good resume point. It's safe to say he's made this crazy movie thing work.

I actually quite like Rock as actor, but more often than not, the movies do nothing for me. While I never saw Be Cool, "The Rundown" was my favorite Rock movie, hell the only one I liked.

If Rundown didn't have Sean William Scott, I would have bought it. That may be the most unfunny human on the planet, right ahead of Jimmy Fever Pitch.

The Rundown is by far the Rock's best movie.

 

And I don't think Fallon is funny at all, but Fever Pitch did something for me.
