The female Fab Four struck gold at the US box office over the weekend, cashing in on the audience’s thirst for more sex. Sex and the City took the film world by storm, earning a higher-than-expected $56.8 million, pretty impressive for a film aimed particularly on women.

You may think that this being the third time I am talking about my impression of George Clooney that I hate the guy. No, in fact I actually admire the dude. he is involved in his craft, he is into all those socio-activism and political stuff that he is quite the influential person that I […]
I told you so.
Leatherheads was completely intercepted by 21 in the box office that really ruined any chance of George Clooney redeeming himself as a box office draw. At least in my eyes. Bad reviews meant bad business for the sports movie that co-strred Renee Zellweger, while the gambling film managed to stay on top […]
It is on a sad note that I report that Oscar-winning director Anthony Minghella has passed away at the age of 54. The filmmaker, best known for making some of the modern epics of our time, apparently died of of a brain hemorrhage. What was so sudden was he had just undergone a routine operation […]
The animated film Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears A Who became the year’s biggest blockbuster yet as it came stomping to the cash register with a gigantic $45 million take over the weekend.

However, recent developments could make him an inspiration as well as a cause for concern. The actor has admitted to having been diagnosed with […]
The latest telecast of the Oscar Awards was quite a letdown. In fact, it was the lowest ratings it ever got in its history. It was a disappointment since the end of the writers’ strike should have made this one extra special. So what could have been the culprit?
Well, the lack of preparations should have […]
What was expected by many as a semi-blockbuster turned out to be quite a sleeper hit, if only it did not have such expectations. See, Will Ferrell is usually predicted to be tops on most everything. He did top the weekend box office with Semi-Pro. Barely.
The basketball comedy opened up with a weak $15.3 million […]
The recently held Oscars was not exactly one of the most memorable shows the Academy has ever done. Still, with Jon Stewart returning as host, I already expected biting remarks and even better quips that would make up for the lack of preparation. It showed, by the way. However, it was still betetr than last […]
